"It's easy to be negative and unmotivated, but it takes some work to be positive and motivated. While there's no off button for those relentless "tapes," there are things that you can do to turn down the volume and shift your focus from the negative to the positive."

-Donna Cardillo, R.N.

Speaker, entrepreneur, humorist, master motivator.

Your perspective is everything.

Have a great weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday

You are the average of the 5 people you spend 
the most time with.

-Jim Rohn (Self-made millionaire & author)

Look around you, are the 5 people you spend the most time with positive? Driven? Motivated? Are they a reflection of who you want to be? Are they helping you or are they hurting you?

Have a great weekend!

Come to the edge, He said.
They said: We are afraid.
Come to the edge, He said.
They came. He pushed them,
And they flew...

Favorite Quote Friday

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise. 

-Maya Angelou

Have a great weekend!!

Favorite Quote Friday

If we all did the things we are capable of doing,

we would literally astound ourselves.

-Thomas Edison

In the previous College I attended I remember I was in a class and we were working in groups of 2. I remember telling my partner that I was going to change the world. And she laughed. She said it was impossible. And I believed her. I let her bring about doubt in my mind and I therefore doubted my abilities. It's something I will never let happen again. 

I sometimes live and never look beyond what I can see or touch. But what power I would have if my view was limitless and I believed in what I could not see or touch. That's power. I am capable of whatever my mind desires. Because I believe in myself.


Have a great weekend.

I’m a quote fanatic. I am forever jotting down quotes I adore from books, movies, signs, or lyrics in the most random places. On receipts, homework, my hand, seriously: everywhere! I must have at least 10 word documents saved on my computer that have collections of quotes that I live by. I love reflecting on them and wanted to share them with you all every Friday, in what I’m calling:

Favorite Quote Friday!

Drumroll please………

To everything there is a season, and a

time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a

time to plant, and a time to pluck up

that which is planted…

A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a

time to mourn, and a time to dance

                                Ecclesiastes 3: I-2, 4


I enjoy this quote because all too often I want to rush through life, to "get to the good stuff". But what I have slowly come to realize is that I have to experience all that life throws at me, allow it to have its time and then move on. You can't rush life, all you can do is prepare yourself for the ride.

Have a great weekend!

I am the decisive element

I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.

It is my personal approach that creates the climate.

It is my daily mood that makes the weather.

I possess tremendous power to make life miserable or joyous.

I can be a tool of torture or an instrument of inspiration.

I can humiliate or humour, hurt or heal.

In all situations it is my response that decides whether a crisis is escalated or de-escalated, and a person is humanized or de-humanized.

If we treat people as they are we make them worse.

If we treat them as they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming.

-Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
