“Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength - carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying doesn't empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength.” - Corrie Ten Boom

I didn’t have the time ~ but I made the time. I didn’t have the knowledge ~ but I did what I knew. I didn’t have the support ~ but I learned to support myself. I didn’t have the confidence ~ but the confidence came with results. I had a lot going against me ~ but I had enough going for me. I had plenty of excuses ~ but I chose not to use any of them.

We are the girls with anxiety disorders, filled appointment books, five-year plans. We take ourselves very, very seriously. We are the peacemakers, the do-gooders, the givers, the savers. We are on time, overly prepared, well read, and witty, intellectually curious, always moving … We pride ourselves on getting as little sleep as possible and thrive on self-deprivation. We drink coffee, a lot of it. We are on birth control, Prozac, and multivitamins … We are relentless, judgmental with ourselves, and forgiving to others. We never want to be as passive-aggressive are our mothers, never want to marry men as uninspired as our fathers … We are the daughters of the feminists who said, “You can be anything,” and we heard, “You have to be everything.”

There is a time for being ahead, a time for being behind; a time for being in motion, a time for being at rest; a time for being vigorous, a time for being exhausted; a time for being safe, a time for being in danger.

You are not Atlas carrying the world on your shoulder. It is good to remember that the planet is carrying you.

There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there will be no limits.

Let's think the unthinkable, let's do the undoable. Let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

It’s so so so

hard sometimes to study and work hard for your goals. Every day. And again. And again. Wake up, study, never quit. It’s hard. You are alone. No audience, never.

It gets boring. You become boring. You don’t know if you will succeed. You try to motivate yourself day after day, you fill your mind with encouraging thoughts but then comes a boiling point and you go aaahhhh!

You know what? Keep going. Keep. Going.

Is it hard? Do you ask yourself why? what for? Keep going.

“Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle.” (Napoleon Hill)

You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.

It’s not what you are that holds you back, it’s what you think you are not.
