Obstacles don't have to stop you.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up.

Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

The brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people – Dr. Randy Pausch, The Last Lecture

When you come to the edge of all the light you know,

and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,

faith is knowing one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid to stand on,

or you will be taught how to fly.

Barbara J. Winter

You’ve got to say, "I think that if I keep working at this and

want it badly enough I can have it." It’s called perseverance.

Perseverance is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the hard work you already did.  ~Newt Gingrich

He whom endures, conquers.  ~Persius

Answer 4

Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, hey girl, magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no - I want magenta!

-John Mayer

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
