Excellence

"We judge ourselves by what we feel capable of doing, while others judge us by what we have already done."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Don't stress about what you're not doing...focus on what you have done!

I don't know why, but I like Winston Churchill a lot. He always seems to be right on things, and inspiring.

"It's not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what's required."
-Sir Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

This quote is so inspirational. I love Helen Keller. . . she's the perfect example of never giving up! I found it on http://www.quotationspage.com/.

"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar."
-Helen Keller (1880-1968)

Proud to be an American

Here's one last quote from my brother-in-law. It's hard core...

“The crisis we are facing today requires our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds . . . After all, why shouldn’t we believe that? We are Americans.”
- President Ronald Reagan

Here's so more inspiration from my brother-in-law. . .

"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do."
-Eleanor Roosevelt

I really like this quote because my husband always says that if you're afraid of something, you have to do whatever it is you're afraid of so that you're not afraid of it anymore. I think that is excellent advice, and this quote goes so well with it.
