Messages That Can Change your Life

"You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you." ---James Allen

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.---Confucius

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do.---Samuel Smiles

The surest way not to fail is to determine to succeed. ---Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The greatest results in life are usually attained by simple means and the exercise of ordinary qualities. These may for the most part be summed in these two: common-sense and perseverance.--Owen Feltham

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you. \---Osho

"Our deepest fears is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you NOT to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world." -Marianne Williamson (RETURN TO LOVE)

You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." You must do the thing you think you cannot do. ---Eleanor Roosevelt

The more you seek security, the less of it you have. But the more you seek opportunity, the more likely it is that you will achieve the security that you desire. ---Brian Tracy

The fact is, that to do anything in the world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in and scramble through as well as we can.---Robert Cushing

Nothing average ever stood as a monument to progress. When progress is looking for a partner it doesn't turn to those who believe they are only average. It turns instead to those who are forever searching and striving to become the best they possibly can. If we seek the average level we cannot hope to achieve a high level of success. Our only hope is to avoid being a failure.---A. Lou Vickery

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear. Refuse to entertain your old pain. The energy it takes to hang onto the past is holding you back from a new life. What is it you would let go of today?--- Mary Manin Morrissey

You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don't win, at least you can be satisfied that you've tried. If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try – you don't take the risk.--Rosalynn Carter

Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life? --Tony Robbins

I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret-Tony Robbins

Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again. ---W. Clement Stone

The sad truth is that opportunity doesn't knock twice. You can put things off until tomorrow but tomorrow may never come. Where will you be a few years down the line. Will it be everything you dreamed of. We seal our fate with the choices we take, but don't give a second thought to the chances we take.---Gloria Estefan

"Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals - Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want"--Marsha Sinetar

"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that ? We must have perseverance and, above all, confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained." ---Marie Curie

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.--Author Unknown

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny--he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed. You are not here accidentally--you are here meaningfully. There is a purpose behind you. The whole intends to do something through you.---Osho

Only if you reach the boundary will the boundary recede before you. And if you don't, if you confine your efforts, the boundary will shrink to accommodate itself to your efforts. And you can only expand your capacities by working to the very limit. --Hugh Nibley

"Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe."---Gail Devers

What we actually learn, from any given set of circumstances, determines whether we become increasingly powerless or more powerful. ---Blaine Lee

The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but significance-and then even the small steps and little victories along your path will take on greater meaning.--Oprah Winfrey

Don't be discouraged by a failure. It can be a positive experience. Failure is, in a sense, the highway to success, in as much as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true, and every fresh experience points out some form of error which we shall afterwards carefully avoid.---John Keats

"Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing." --Unknown

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand. ---Oprah Winfrey

Often we don't even realize who we're meant to be because we're so busy trying to live out someone else's ideas. But other people and their opinions hold no power in defining our destiny. ---Oprah Winfrey

Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.--Bernice Johnson Reagon

So act boldly, as if it's impossible to fail. If you keep adding fuel to your desire, you will reach the point of knowing that you'll never quit, and ultimate success will be nothing more than a matter of time. ---Steve Pavlina

Every time you suppress some part of yourself or allow others to play you small, you are in essence ignoring the owner's manual your creator gave you and destroying your design.---Oprah Winfrey

Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don't fight them. Just find a different way to stand.—Oprah Winfrey

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.--- Norman Vincent Peale

We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. ---Jesse Owens

Before you begin a thing remind yourself that difficulties and delays quite impossible to foresee are ahead. You can only see one thing clearly, and that is your goal. Form a mental vision of that and cling to it through thick and thin.---Kathleen Norris

Listen to your I AM's. You are your I AM's – the ones you feel in your gut. And the moment that you say, "I refuse to listen to my limitations any more; I refuse to be this or that; I am happier; I am healthier; I am more open; I am more trusting," you start becoming that way. --Thomas D. Willhite

Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference. ---Mark Victor Hansen

Set a goal to achieve something that is so big, so exhilarating that it excites you and scares you at the same time. It must be a goal that is so appealing, so much in line with your spiritual core, that you can't get it out of your mind. If you do not get chills when you set a goal, your not setting big enough goals.---Bob Proctor

Every second that you live you are never going to get back. You are never going to get to change what you said, didn't say, did, or didn't do. Live how you want to live. Act how you want to be remembered, because you never know how long or short you are going to be here. ---Emily Doberstein

Take control now. Forget about the negative thoughts which others have told you - that you are too old or too young. Stop letting the thoughts of others rule your life; stop being weak and cowardly, blaming your lack of progress on those negative programs. If you begin now and become a do-er, you will have earned your right to remain here.---Thomas D. Willhite

What other people label or might try to call failure, I have learned is just God's way of pointing you in a new direction.---Oprah Winfrey

Obstacles are like wild animals. They are cowards but they will bluff you if they can. If they see you are afraid of them... they are liable to spring upon you; but if you look them squarely in the eye, they will slink out of sight.---Orison Swett Marden

You are a product of your environment. So choose the environment that will best develop you toward your objective. Analyze your life in terms of its environment. Are the things around you helping you toward success - or are they holding you back? ---W. Clement Stone

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.--Unknown

"Do not waste precious time on your faults. Change those faults by seeing them disappear. See the positive images instead. Only think about the fault once; then cross it out and see the image of the "new" YOU. Every minute, every hour, visualize the way you want to be. Get excited about the new YOU."---Thomas D. Willhite

Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret - curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy, and the greatest of all is confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable. ---Walt Disney

"Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier -certainly no more difficult - than small ideas and small plans." \---David J.

Excellence can be attained if you - care more than others think is wise - risk more than others think is safe - dream more than others think is practical - and expect more than others think is possible. - Anonymous

"Do you realize just how strong your HEART is? It endures pain and it still beats! It feels loss and still beats! It also feels the emptiness others leave us and still beats! Our hearts are our body's best defense to any PAIN it may receive and it still goes. Our heart speaks to us EVERYDAY and tells us to NEVER GIVE UP and always believe that things will get BETTER, no matter how much it hurt before!"-Renee Scalfani

"We have many things to accomplish in LIFE. Don't rush them! Allow the GOD of surprises to gently lead you on; trust YOURSELF in God's hands. You might be sad now for the disappointment you are currently in but if only YOU knew what GOD has in store for you, you'd be greatly surprised!"--Stanley Anukege

"In PAIN, setbacks, FAILURE, rejections, depression or anything out there that tries to shake off your feet from your grounds, always keep your head up! None of these were meant to last but you were built to last! Face them without FEAR, weakness or complaints! QUIT not, for there is mighty strength in you - all you got to do is dig up the COURAGE that dwells in the depths of your heart!"---Kiplimo Chemirmir

"YOUR life tells a story. What story are you telling/living/displaying? LIVE the kind of life that others are inspired from. Live out the best seller! Don't let yourself down by living negatively... give the best of your living, YOU deserve only the best because you are the best! There are no second chances on a full LIFE of living; live/give 100%!"---Antonio Talbert

"Life doesn't deal the hand you want, it deals the hand you need. Whether you believe it, accept it, want it or not, it is what it is. Be content with your own hand. STOP trying to rush life, just let it happen. Learn to live out the life dealt. What will be, will be!"--Antonio Talbert

Life is a continuous journey of wonderful experiences that shape us. We should always embrace our joys and sorrows, knowing that it is all part of where we are going and who we will be. The happiness that we feel and the many emotions we have will take us up and down this magnificent road of beauty, love, peace, joy and loss that is all truly part of life's journey.--Audrey Brusgillo

LIFE is a journey, an experience. If something goes wrong - we fall, but it is up to us to pick ourselves up and to keep walking! The only difference this time is we need to remember what CRACK we tripped over and to jump over it next time! We have paths chosen for us and it is up to us to WALK those paths and decide which ones will keep us going! ---Angelina Barth

Life is too short to live by someone else's rules/standards and if we do this we become chained by fear. If we depend on what others think of us we'll be doomed to disappointment every time! Who cares what they think! Live your life because it is YOUR life. When you realize this worrying about what others think of you is a waste of time then you can start living life to the fullest!—Unknown (KEEP MOVING FORWARD)

YOU will never move forward in your LIFE if you are continually driving in reverse! Your FUTURE is now! We live our lives one day at a time. Make the best of your life and live it day by day, for your future will one day become your past. The person you were in your past may not be who you are today, only you can decide who you are and what kind of person you want to be! \---Corrie Bryant

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.--Unknown

Happiness does not come from the elimination of pain, but from the realization of your purpose! Even less lofty purposes, such as "I just work here to pay my bills" can be transformed over time if you look at the higher purpose for why you might be there. Perhaps you will make contacts that will help you in the future. The key is to look beneath the surface to find the spiritual meaning ---Dan Castro

YOU are not defined, as a person, by your past mistakes! Actually, there really are no mistakes, just decisions you made based upon the perceptions you had at the time. Past mistakes are a direct result of a path that you were following that you thought was best for you! YOU now know which direction you don't want to go! So now, FOCUS on what you have been taught through the past but then MOVE FORWARD!!.—Beth Andlee

Stop listening to your negative inner-dialogue and start turning on your positive inner-dialogue. If you have ever taken on a task and your mind was telling you "You can't do that" turn it off! Listening to these negative thoughts only causes fear and stress as you try to complete the task at hand. Face challenges head-on and tell yourself "I can do this" and your chances of success will increase!--Unknown

Stop letting negative people get close to you! It's very true that misery loves company but so does happiness! If your friends are sad, depressive people, stop letting yourself be around them! Attitudes are contagious and you will catch what they have! Instead, choose your friends wisely and ensure that they have positive attitudes and are at places in their lives that you wouldn't mind being yourself! --Krim Zonrain

Whatever your GOAL, your DREAM, or your DESIRE, you are worthy of achieving it! The closer you get to it is when the enemy of your soul will begin putting doubt in your mind by playing the self-limiting tapes that say you are not worthy. Replace these old tapes with a newer one that contains the truth – you are worthy to have your heart's true desire and to KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!-- -Alex Blackwell

How badly do you want it? How badly do you really want to achieve what you are working so hard to accomplish? When you get hit hard, you have an opportunity to answer this question. It's one thing to say you want to do something, or to be something. But to walk through the pain; to get up and keep moving forward knowing there may be more pain ahead, is a test of your determination and resolve!--Alex Blackwell

Leave your MISTAKES and regret in the PAST! They don't DEFINE your value, then or now. When you stay in the past you become stuck and unable to MOVE FORWARD. We all have made mistakes with our job choices, friends and relationships. However, to begin learning how to put these experiences behind us – by letting them go, we can begin to live in the HERE and NOW! Keep moving forward! ---Alex Blackwell

There comes a time in EVERYBODY'S life when we are just ready to quit on ourselves. We are tired, exhausted, and don't seem to find the STRENGH inside of us to keep going anymore. Well we can't fall down! We need to continue our LIVES! Our lives do not stop because we are having problems. It keeps going! SOLUTIONS to our problems relies mostly on how positive or negative we are about them!-Unknown (DON'T GIVE UP!)

LIFE can hit hard. Sometimes you get knocked down when you don't even see it coming. Some are cheap shots, some are glancing blows and some can bring you to your knees. When this happens, it's not about how hard you get hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, but still find the STRENGTH to keep MOVING FORWARD! It's about having the will to continue in spite of the obstacles!---Alex Blackwell

If events from the past are bothering you and interfering with your present peace of mind, it is time to deal with the past, let it go and move on! Letting go involves accepting what you cannot change, having the courage to make amends, if appropriate, and forgiving yourself and others. You than will be able to embrace the present, and look forward to the future, with a calm and peaceful heart!--Carol Gioia

DIFFICULTIES will either make you BETTER or they will make you BITTER. If you are a POSITIVE thinker, you will see a difficulty as just a "BUMP" in the road! If you are a NEGATIVE individual you will see difficulty as depilating and allow your difficulties to overpower YOU! If you are a Believer, you will PRAY so that you can receive divine guidance and opportunity to OVERCOME your difficulties! --Ann Nurse

Difficulties in LIFE have a distinct PURPOSE in our lives. It is a part of the "COMMON BOND" of simply being-human. Every human being considers his difficulties to be most depilating and the hardest to ENDURE. How we handle and process through difficulties usually demonstrates the content of our CHARACTER, our stamina, our attitude toward life and living, and our FAITH, or lack of faith!--Ann Nurse

LIFE is a continual learning process. Living in the moment will allow you to better understand events and decisions when you view them at some FUTURE time. While you should never completely disregard the PAST, understanding it will lead to fewer regrets and greater confidence in how you are living the PRESENT. "Live in the moment!" --Scott Holloway

EDUCATION, to me, is a vehicle that can help transform lives; therefore every time I have faced adversity in my life I sought more education so I would be better equipped to face the challenge the next time! Through this process I leveraged TIME and CHANGE to give me power over life's many situations!--- Ronald Claiborne

We lose the beauty of our PRESENT when we stay stuck in our past. You stay in the same place, not because your past keeps you there, but because YOU continue to LIVE your present in the memory of your past, instead of letting your present be what it is! If you live in the glorious abundance of your present, when your present becomes your past, you will then have a memory of nothing but abundance! ---Raschelle Jackson

The power to CHANGE lies within us all. When your pain seems too much, that's when you must buckle down and push through. Don't stop or give in to emotional pain. Tell yourself, "I am winning this time, not FEAR or PAIN!!" Giving into your fear or pain will only make things worse. If you fall, get up. If you have to start over, START OVER! If you have to start over again, start over again! -Robert Bruton

The daily challenges will always be there. That is part of life. But these challenges are truly much deeper in MEANING and PURPOSE than you may realize. Instead of looking at each CHALLENGES as acts of evil, unfair, or simply a pain in your neck; look at them as lessons learned. LESSONS that strengthen who you are as a person! --Nancy Horton (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

With each new day, you have an open window to MOVE FORWARD in life in a positive direction. Yes, life's daily challenges may find you down emotionally, mentally, physically, and perhaps even spiritually. However, your deepest, most inner being is a part of you that can never be touched by any of that turmoil. The goodness in life will ALWAYS outweigh any negative challenges!--Nancy Horton

We all need to decide whether to 'PLAY IT SAFE' in life and worry about the downside, or instead take a chance, by being who we really are and living the life our heart desires. Which choice are you making?" ---Charlie Badenhop

Realize that the past is GONE! Understand that you are a wonderful person because of all the things that have happened to you, GOOD and BAD. Moments in our life are just that, moments. You've had millions of moments and you will have a million more. You have lived through the hardships and you are STRONG. Focus on the moments that will be. Try to see the GOOD that has come of your past! ---Davina G

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." --Nelson Mandela

If there were ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, it is now. Not for any grand cause, necessarily, but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your aspiration, something that's your dream. You owe it to yourself to make your days here count. Have fun. Dig deep. Stretch. Dream big.--Macintosh computer ad, 1991

I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life-specifically the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and I have gone ahead despite the pounding in my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you'll die if you venture too far!--- Erica Jong

Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong! There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage!-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!)

"Realize That Your Past Does Not Determine Your Future. It is to easy to let what has happened in the past influence what you do in the future, but You could truthfully say, "I choose to learn from my past!" My past taught me what NOT to do. My past challenges and trials made me stronger so I can face the real world today. I went through what I did so I can help others!"---Unknown

Sometimes, "blowing it" can make you realize what your priorities and values are and that's valuable insight you probably couldn't have got any other way. This knowledge not only makes you more comfortable with yourself, it also helps you move forwards in a more confident way. Keep moving forward!!—Unknown

People don't notice our mistakes nor judge us anywhere near as much as we think they do. And, if you gain something from it, why let the fear of what someone else "might" think stop you? You can never know what someone else is really thinking anyway. They might really be impressed at your willingness to take a chance and to try things--Unknown

Be who you are. Trust in yourself. It will come back to you in amazing ways. Don't be so focused on achieving one particular outcome that you miss all kinds of wonderful opportunities because you fear making mistakes. Mistakes are good things. Forgive yourself when you make a mistake. Or even better, celebrate. You've probably just learned a better way to do something!--Unknown

"LIFE is simply what YOU make it, NEVER compromise what you believe in for ANYONE! Live your LIFE to the fullest, always believe that YOU can be WHATEVER you want to be! If you find something in life that you LOVE, STICK with it; don't GIVE it up! Last but not least, don't let anyone STEAL your JOY because it's YOURS AFTER ALL!"---LaTonya Bowie (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

"The greatest pleasure in LIFE is being able to do what SOMEONE else told you you'd FAIL at! I'm a STRONG enough person to ACCEPT failure, but I'm not strong enough to HANDLE NOT TRYING!"--Author Unknown (DON'T GIVE UP!!)

"When you put a DATE on your DREAM, it becomes a GOAL! When you AIM for the goal, it becomes a CHALLENGE! When you BEAT the challenge, the REWARD is success! To have success... you FIRST must put a date on that DREAM!"--Raja Akhtar (WILL YOU MAKE THAT "DREAM" DATE TODAY?)

"FORGET about the consequences of FAILURE! Failure is only a temporary CHANGE in direction to set YOU straight for your next SUCCESS!"--Author Unknown (DON'T GIVE UP!!)

"LIFE is a series of experiences, EACH one of which MAKES us bigger, even though sometimes it is HARD to realize this! For the world was BUILT to develop character, and we must LEARN that the SETBACKS and griefs, which WE endure, HELP us in our marching on!"---Henry Ford (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

"When you feel you've pushed your LIFE to the limit, and you can't go any FURTHER, give that obstacle ONE last PUSH because that MIGHT be the one that gets YOU through that HEAVY door to SUCCESS! If you don't TRY that one last time, you may NEVER know! GO FOR IT!"--Sarah Margaret Bradbury (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

The THING that matters in LIFE is whether you are doing BETTER than your PAST or NOT! Not what you HAVE done previously, because NOBDOY can change the past, but can we take a LESSON from the PAST and utilize the experience for the betterment OF our FUTURE!-- Deepak Dagar (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

"LIFE is like a BOOK with many different CHAPTERS, some tell of tragedy and others of triumph. Some chapter are dull and ordinary, others intense and exciting! The KEY to being a SUCCESS in LIFE is to never STOP on a difficult page, to never QUIT on a tough chapter! YOU have the courage to KEEP turning the pages because YOU know a better chapter lies AHEAD!"--Author Unknown

"NO ONE was born intellectual, smart or successful! We MAKE ourselves that way! You can do ANYTHING you put your mind to- through HARD work and dedication anything's POSSIBLE! Out of hard work comes SUCCESS! Never belittle YOUR standards to achieve your GOAL, always FIGHT your way through; the HARDER the battle the sweeter the VICTORY!"---Ricardo Bailey

"YOUR PAST is an experience! YOUR PRESENT is an experiment! YOUR FUTURE is expectations! USE your experience in your experiment to ACHIEVE your expectations!"--Author Unknown (KEEP MOVING FORWARD!!)

It is extremely HARD to be effective in all facets of YOUR LIFE while under the constraints of constant FEAR! The things we FEAR become LARGER the more we FOCUS on them!

Make that determination and you've won the game!-Brian J

"LIFE is a game of CHANCES! The ones you don't TAKE are the ones you MISS out on! The chances you DO take, even if you lose in the END, you learn more from MISTAKES and misfortunes, than not taking the chance to BEGIN with! So who is to say you lost in that game of CHANCE? Who is to say, to take a chance is to LOSE? There is only one person who can make that choice...IS YOU!"---Ross Janson

"When we fall down in LIFE, we must TRY as much as we can to RISE up!

It is greatly linked to how we treat and love others in our LIFE!"---Michelle W. Seamons

THIS very moment is the only one YOU know you have for sure!"---Oprah Winfrey

"People come into your LIFE for a reason; the negative people usually are there to teach you what you don't want to BECOME, treat you how you don't want to be TREATED, and to show you what you don't DESERVE. Embrace them, let them teach you, and then let them go!"---Roxanne Hoffner

Vicious cycle in Education: So many students fail to realize their potential because a simple grade tells them they have none!

"Whatever YOU do, someone will criticize you! You will be blamed if you ACT and even if you DON'T act; if you SPEAK, or don't speak! You can't keep pleasing EVERYONE!

If not, then thank them and MOVE ON!"---Sri Ravishankar

"If you're not experiencing FAILURE, you're not RISKING enough! True SUCCESS is pushing your vision past the safe to the dangerous! Anyone can accomplish the EASY task, but it takes a PIONEER to risk everything in the pursuit of the divine purpose!

"Try to feel that LIFE'S difficulties and troubles are not intended to ARREST your progress, but to TEST your strength and to increase your determination to KEEP GOING!

God's strength will always be there, waiting for you to use it. --- Author Unknown

Shine for the world to see and light the way for others!"-Michelle W. Seamons

"Expect the BEST! Convert problems into OPPORTUNITIES! Be dissatisfied with the status quo. Focus on where YOU want to go, instead of where you're COMING from! And most important, decide to be HAPPY, knowing it's an attitude, a habit gained from daily PRACTICE, and not a result or payoff!"---Denis Waitley

"HOPE. It's a strange word isn't it? How can we have hope when everything is gone? How can we believe that things will get better when we've lost not just ourselves, but others too? The reason is because HOPE forces US to refuse to give up! It gives the infinite power to NEVER stop TRYING. Hope is the undying power that drives us to achieve any goal, anywhere, anytime. Never stop believing in HOPE! --Samuel K. Aidoo

Go B.I.G. (Go Believing In God)"We all have decisions in life, some big, some small, but the decision that outweighs them all is whether or not we choose to Go B.I.G!

\---Author Unknown

We need to enjoy EVERYTHING, not suffer. Let's be STRONG!!!! Let's be BETTER!!! Always, always remember this!!!!"---Gabriela Ferrara

"When YOU let go of your DREAMS it can take the better part of a lifetime to CATCH them again! It makes more sense to NEVER let them go in the first place! Even If they eventually pass away, at least they were YOURS to hold onto all the while. BETTER is one day with an impossible dream planted firmly in your heart, than a thousand days spent in REGRET over the one you gave up on!"---Ray Basile (DON'T GIVE UP!!)

"WHY do we try to go through a closed door, when there's an OPEN DOOR in front of us? There's a reason why that door is shut and closed because GOD is steering you in the RIGHT direction.

In all things, ALWAYS remember to give THANKS. YOU might not be where you want to be, but neither are YOU where you USED to be! If it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen! Remember a delay is not a denial from GOD; at his own time, he will make all things beautiful!"---Author Unknown

DON'T give your mind permission to get disturbed! A disturbed mind is easily influenced! Learn to maintain your peace by freeing yourself from attachments.

I realize there comes a time in a person's LIFE that they must take TOTAL responsibility for their FUTURE!

God has given YOU the imagination and freedom to create YOUR life and YOUR future! --Dr. Sheely (CREATE IT NOW!!)

"STOP being afraid of rocking the boat; go ahead rock a little! Take an uncalculated RISK, own a life long dream! Don't map it out or plan your reasoning's of how or why, JUST DO IT!

Education is an American issue that affects us all. Jobs are leaving this country and American employers say that students today lack the basic skills to do even the simplest jobs. Without dramatic changes, the U.S. economy will continue to suffer, crime will go up and our children won't be able to find a job or afford a house. Education is an issue that affects our national strength and security. If we do not create dramatically new opportunities to educate our youth, our standard of living will decline, our democracy will be at risk and we will continue to fall behind as other countries far surpass us.--The Broad Foundation

About Tanya Knight

O riginally from Brooklyn, NY, education-extraordinaire Tanya Knight spent most of her life growing up in Orlando, FL. Throughout her childhood, Tanya was plagued with the notion that she could not excel academically—a perception that can greatly affect one's progress, and one that continues to negatively affect students of all ages today. As a result, Tanya didn't take her classes seriously and received poor grades. It wasn't until after high school that she realized her dreams—dreams to do bigger and better things with her life. Obtaining a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration, with an emphasis in Marketing and Management from Columbia College, a virtual institution, Tanya realized she had a passion for education. With her ambition as her guide, she went on to complete her MBA in Leadership from Grand Canyon University, and is currently completing a Doctorate in Education Leadership, with a focus on Retention, from the same institution. Today, Tanya is recognized as "America's Education Coach" and uses her flagship organization, Tanya Knight International, to aid students of all ages through the higher education process, focusing on the entire educational experience as a whole.

For Tanya, education isn't about grades; it's about a desire to become someone better than you are. She learned firsthand that higher education is invaluable; it affords us many opportunities, and stays with us for the rest of our life. With a passion for success and a love for others, Tanya Knight is not only an expert in her field—but a source of inspiration for her students. With past positions as Senior Admissions Officer, Director of Admission and Director of Corporate Development and ten years of education and human services experience behind her, Tanya not only provides the necessary resources for college matriculation, but more importantly, the incentive to get there. As an expert in student retention and college recruitment and admissions, with an extensive knowledge of a wide range of universities, Tanya leads a variety of unique workshops, presentations, private coaching sessions and tele-courses that will guide you through the entire educational experience—from admission, to classroom learning, to success upon graduation. Having completed 100% of her degrees online, while balancing a demanding career, Tanya is a product of hard work and dedication, and understands the obstacles students need to overcome to reach their full potential. Once a poor student herself, Tanya specializes in working with struggling academic students and "adult learners"—parents, soldiers, teachers, executives and working professionals in pursuit of higher education—encouraging them to never give up. With her motto "keep moving forward," Tanya encourages her students to overcome their obstacles—believing that past failure does not determine our future.

A beacon of motivation for her own accomplishments, Tanya has developed a resume of credentials that more than speaks for her success. Besides being a regular contributor for Education.com, Jacksonville.com, Yahoo.com, Hopeforwomenmag.com, Playgrounddad.com and The College World Reporter Magazine, Tanya was named as one of "17 Distance Learning Experts Worth Knowing About" by The Knowledge Maven. A published author, her motivational book Who Says You Can't Go To College? gives parents and students the inspiration and resources necessary for college matriculation. She has helped several colleges and business increase retention, enrollment and bottom line numbers, and as a result, has nurtured lasting relationships between universities, school districts and Fortune 500 companies throughout the United States. When she's not in the classroom, Tanya actively fights to raise awareness about the importance of education, and her website, www.theeducationcoach.com, has become a one-stop education resource center. Furthermore, she recently founded "The Education Excellence Event"—a seminar created to guide parents and students through the entire enrollment process, from preparing for college to selecting schools, scholarships, financial aid and more—with dates to be released soon. Amongst these achievements, Tanya's greatest accomplishment to date is the lasting impact she's left on her students. She understands that daily life events can affect our ability to stay in school, and provides daily inspirational messages and quotes to motivate students and "adult learners" to attend school with confidence. For Tanya, education is the key to success. As she constantly reminds her students, "Tangible items can be taken away—but no one can ever take away your education."
