"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, because what the world needs is for you to be alive." -Jason Russell.

This is one of my absolute favorite quotes. To me, it means that you need to find what you're passionate about. Screw what the rest of the world says about what you should do. Do what you know will make you come alive!! In the end, that will do so much more for humanity than something that you half-ass because you feel like you need to do it.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!" - Rocky

"Im gonna show you how great I am" - Muhammed Ali

Eh I live by these !
destiny is for losers. it's just a stupid reason to wait for things to happen instead of making them happen. | nothing is impossible. | don't wait for the perfect moment, take a moment and make it perfect. | Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. | note to self: stop expecting | never regret anything because at one time it was exactly what you wanted. | everyday of your life is a page of your history | if you're lucky enough to be different, don't ever change | learn from today, live for tomorrow, never look back |

[Koharuchan]

This is a special one to me.

"Everyone is different in some way, but for those of us who are more different we have to put more effort into convincing the less different that we can do the same thing they can, just differently."

I was always bullied and treated badly for being different, so this one really speaks to me.

You have two choices when you wake up.
- Sleep again and dream.
or
- wake up and chase your dream.


and then there's this one,
No matter how you feel; get up, dress up, and show up.

I got a lot of them I live by, but these are two of my favorites.

[Tynan]

There are a few I live by

"I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not."

"We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers."

[Cabron]

"We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, it's to create something that will."
-Chuck Palahniuk

I love this quote. A lot of the time I feel like I don't matter as a person and that I won't ever do anything noteworthy with my life. The first time I read this quote it just sorta clicked. I may not be the most influential person there ever was, but I have the power to create something that will live on well after I do. It could be a book, a poem, even something I said. If it sticks in at least one person's mind, that's enough for me.

I like these three quotes

"You are today what yesterday's choices have made you." and "If you don't create a future you'll never have a present" -Jessie Duplantis

And...
"You cannot fulfill all the expectations of everyone you know, so you might as well go ahead and disappoint them and get it over with." -Joyce Meyer

I just can't go without these.. They are so true and needful for everyday. Also good for reality checks. It makes you realize that where you are today is from the choices you made yesterday and ... well you can read them for yourself

[Kate*]

"Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right" I don't remember who came up with that one

"You don't say you can't, you say I'll try" my self defense instructor Master Mike
" Think different Live different" also Master Mike

[Soliloquy]

"Collect as precious pearls the words of the wise and the virtuous."
~Abd-el-Kadar

"I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do."
~Edward Everett Hale

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear."
~Ambrose Redmoon

"Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things."
~Unknown

These are ones I live by.

"Be the change you wish to see in the world" Gandhi.

"Love the life you live, and live the life you love."
"What is life without a purpose, and what is purpose without love?"

[OMFG!You'reActuallySmart!]

"Knowledge is limited power; knowledge and confidence is unlimited power" - my karate/self-defense/judo instructor
He always reminds us of this because if you have confidence, you won't be afraid to show your full power and won't back away when faced with a roadblock.

"Live life, don't over-live life" - my grandfather
His meaning of this is do what you need through whatever routes to succeed in accomplishing the goals of that particular day (live life) but don't become too wound because the successes cannot be enjoyed, you need to always relax but still move forward (over-live life).

I found this portrait at a garage sale http://www.wesellart.com/product_ima...70723_zoom.jpg. The words are kind of small in the picture but they read, "RISK. Do not follow the common path. Go where there is no path and leave a trail".
To me, it means embrace stepping outside your comfort zone and be your own leader, not someone's follower.
