• Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things befall you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out.

• Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.

  Ayn Rand

• God is bigger than time,
  dates, and appointments.
  He wants you to move
  through this day with a quiet heart,
  an inward assurance that
  He is in control, a peaceful certainty
  that your life is in His hands,
  a deep trust in His plan and purposes,
  and a thankful disposition,
  toward all that He allows.
  He wants you to put your faith in Him,
  not in a timetable.
  He wants you to wait on Him
  and wait for Him.
  In His perfect way He will put everything
  together, see to every detail...
  arrange every circumstance...
  and order every step to bring
  to pass what He has for you.
