Mission Statement

It's my birthday today so I'm posting a couple of my favorite quotes. :)  This one I've adopted as my own personal mission statement.

"My face is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my guide is reliable, my mission is clear.  I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, diluted, or delayed.  I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate...at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in a maze of mediocrity.  I will not give up, shut up, let up, or slow up."
--Robert Moorehead

Fairy Tale

"Every man's life is a fairy tale written by God's fingers"
--Hans Christian Andersen

.Don't let your fire go out!

This quote reminds you not to be just content with where you are.  You can achieve your dreams, you just have to go out and do it!

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all.  Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach.  Check your road and the nature of your battle.  The world you desire can be won.  It exists.  It is real.  It is possible.  It is yours."
--Ayn Rand

Step Forward!

These next quotes are ones I try to think of whenever I'm too afraid to take a chance!

"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it.  If you don't ask, the answer is always no.  If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."
--Nora Roberts

Who's Happier?

"So we shall let the reader answer this question for himself: who is the happier man, he who braved the storm of life and lived or he who has stayed securely on the shore and merely existed?"
--Hunter S. Thompson

Surprise yourself

If everyone were able to do all of the things listed in this next quote, I think they could consider their year very successful.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.  I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art--write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.  And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

--Neil Gaiman
