“Hope is the most powerful force in the universe.
Hope that, in the very worst of times we could rise above the pain, agony and disappointment.
We each have the ability to carry on and not only to survive but also to inspire others..
Sometimes all it takes is one person to make a difference.
We will all find ourselves neck deep in mud someday.
That is the time to sing loudly, to smile broadly, to lift up those around you and give them hope that tomorrow will be a better day.”
― Admiral William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

“Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present.
But those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential.
Without pushing your limits, without daring and taking risks, you will never know what is truly possible in your life.
If you want to change the world, sometimes you have to slide down the obstacle headfirst.”
― Admiral William H. McRaven, Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life...And Maybe the World

“Start each day with a task completed. Find someone to help you through life. Respect everyone. Know that life is not fair and that you will fail often, but if you take some risks, step up when the times are toughest, face down the bullies, lift up the downtrodden, You will SUCCEED and never, ever give up.”

“Our goals in life will give us courage.
Nothing and nobody can stand in your way.
Without it, others will define your path forward.
With it, you can accomplish any goal.
So, have courage to pursue your goals.”
