Any parent that loves their own, knows this to be true, there is no greater love, brighter inspiration, higher motivation or moment to moment, day to day affirmation, than a child.
These Inspirations, Motivations, Affirmations,and Life Lessons below are what (beyond which my own Chisana Boy and Alaska Chick-let) have changed me. My life. My hopes and dreams. My future. Made me a better me, than before I found them.
Knowing this to be true, maybe sharing them with you, here, will help you be a little stronger, for whatever the day brings you, for whoever may cross paths with you today.
Maybe, something here will remind you that you are not alone.
If you have never heard this before, I will say right now, right here, to you... “You are not alone.”

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.

"When we are debating an issue, loyalty means giving me your honest opinion, whether you think I'll like it or not. Disagreement, at this state, stimulates me. But once a decision is made, the debate ends. From that point on, loyalty means executing the decision as if it were your own." ~General Colin Powell

“Love is friendship caught on fire. It is quiet mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good times and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and allows for human weaknesses. Love is content with the present, hopes for the future, and does not brood over the past” – Laura Hendricks
“There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” ~Winston Churchill
“When the solution is simple, God is answering.” – Albert Einstein

“Adventure is a path. Real adventure – self-determined, self-motivated, often risky – forces you to have firsthand encounters with the world. The world the way it is, not the way you imagine it. Your body will collide with the earth and you will bear witness. In this way you will be compelled to grapple with the limitless kindness and bottomless cruelty of humankind – and perhaps realize that you yourself are capable of both. This will change you. Nothing will ever again be black-and-white.” ~Mark Jenkins

The Two Rules I Live By (posted on November 12, 2011) by Marjorie Clayman
“When you come right down to it, my life is guided by two principles.
1. Do no harm to others.
2. Do not sit in silence while others meet harm.
There are no reasonable exceptions to either rule. Whether it is your friend or your enemy, and whether that person is on the receiving end or the giving end, do no harm to others and do not sit idly by while others meet harm.
That is all.”
Life doesn’t always give rewards, there are no prizes for despair or tragedy or loss or courage. There is just more or the same. And now and then, some small flower peeking through the snow, to spur you on, and give you hope and remind you of better days. To remind you that one day, after the winter, there would be spring, and eventually summer. ~Danielle Steele
Great things are done when men and mountains meet. This is not done by jostling in the street. ~William Blake
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful,committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has–Margaret Mead
How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” ~Henry David Thoreau
“The only way to change your world is to change your mindset stop blaming a lack of resources. Become resourceful.” - John Falchetto
“The thing is, we still live in a world that’s filled with opportunity. In fact, we have more than an opportunity — we have an obligation. An obligation to spend our time doing great things. To find ideas that matter and to share them. To push ourselves and the people around us to demonstrate gratitude, insight, and inspiration. To take risks and to make the world better by being amazing.” ~Seth Godin
"The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is." ~Winston Churchill
“No shortcuts” ~ John Falchetto
STAY THE PATH
"Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist, you will be successful." ~ Brian Tracy
Kaizen, which is the relentless pursuit of finding a better way.
