tell me what your favorite motivational and inspirational quotes are!!! mine is:
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
- nelson mandela

After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning,
And company doesn’t mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises;
And you begin to accept your defeats
With you head up and your eyes open
With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans,
And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
That even sunshine burns if you get too much.
So you plant your garden and decorate your soul,
Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers,
And you learn that you really can endure…
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.
And you learn and you learn…
With every goodbye you learn.
Author is unknown, although some have sought to take credit.
Also:
It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out where the strong man stumbled, or where a doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, and who comes up short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause. The man who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement and who, at worst, if he fails, fails while daring greatly, so that his place will never be with those cold timid souls who never knew victory or defeat."

My renditions of reality
Call it bad or good,wrong or right
Believe in me
Believe in me and I’ll believe in you
–twiztid-rendition of reality
Thinking, how am I gonna change the world today
I’m staring at the roaches sitting in the ashtray
Giving up ain’t the way, I can guarantee
If you apply yourself to life like silly putty
Everybody, even if you ugly You got a chance in this mutherf*cker to be somebody Don’t let nobody stand in the way of what you want And stop believing all the lies and the sh*t you’ve been taught Even if you try, you can say you did Instead of living your life always wondering what would happen You can be the captain of your own enterprise - USS Realize
It’s up to you, to make the change but you don’t
And I can’t figure out why you won’t
And I don’t recognize or comprehend the word quit
Because it’s not in my vocabulary, I don’t understand that shit
And even if it all went bad We’d pick up the pieces and continue the way we always had Cause life is a situation test Whether you pass or fail, gotta always do your best
–twiztid-cnt
Let the vibes blow like the ocean breeze
Mamma always told me there’d be days like these
Keep your head right, just do as you please
Never interfere with an evil man’s schemes
Keep your heart pure, conceive your own dreams
Respect your fellow man, the earth with the trees
The air that we breathe and the highest mountain peak
Bring truth from your soul to your mouth when you speak No need to get loud .. messin with others, stressin’ your brother, it’s time to uncover
Time to choose another path you see
Cause the road most traveled’s negativity
Put your fist down throw your hands in the air
Respect yourself, be somebody who cares
Don’t let life get you down, don’t feel abused
Keep a positive view unto yourself be true
–kottonmouthkings positive vibes
There’s no need to get down on yourself
There’s no need for peeps to scream and yell
So why you always gotta be that dude
Puttin other people down, that don’t make you cool
You simply look like a fool, put your foot in your mouth Upliftin one another thats what we’re talkin about I stay up ’cause there’s no holdin’ me down
I keep my feet on the ground I keep my friends all around
–daddy x get up
i kno theyre all song lyrics but they keep me goin on n stayin positive sorry to write a whole book here lol
