Thought it would be fun if people post their favorite inspirational quotes.

A dear friend in her 80's once told me:

"Sometimes a kick in the pants is a push in the right direction."

Love it!

And I have this one posted in my office:

"This is the true joy of life, being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clot of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy." George Bernard Shaw

LOVE the Shaw quote! This is exactly how I feel sometimes, and this really puts my self-centered nature in check. Thanks!

Here's one I like:
"Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by." - Carl Sandburg

It's so coincidental that Tim Russert's son read that same George Bernard Shaw quote today at his father's memorial service.

I love the Carl Sandburg one too! Gonna have to remember that one.

This is my favorite.... i try my best in following it, but right now being agoraphobic its really hard.

"Be Strong, be courageous, don't be afraid, and don't be discouraged. For the lord your god is with you whereever you go." Joshua 1:9
