With Labor Day approaching, I want to share my collection of quotations that have helped me over the years whenever there was a work or personal challenge that was difficult to overcome. The quotations have given me a sense of perspective and self worth.

I hope you enjoy these and please pick some that might help you with your work or personal challenges.

Enjoy!

NEVER NEVER NEVER GIVE UP

YOU CANNOT MAKE YOUR SUCCESS CONTINGENT ON SOMEONE ELSE’S REACTION

ANYTHING WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING POORLY AT FIRST, AND OFTEN WORTH DOING POORLY SEVERAL TIMES

SEE YOURSELF IN EVERYONE YOU ENCOUNTER

A MAN IS A SUCCESS WHO HAS LIVED WELL, LAUGHED OFTEN AND LOVED MUCH

OUTRAGEOUS FAILURE CAN BE JUST AS VALUABLE AS SILENT SUCCESS

IF YOU INVEST IN BEAUTY, IT WILL REMAIN WITH YOU ALL THE DAYS OF YOUR LIFE

STAY TRUE TO YOURSELF

ACT WITH INTEGRITY AND KINDNESS

BEGINNINGS ARE OFTEN DISGUISED AS PAINFUL ENDINGS

NOTHING CAN BRING YOU PEACE BUT YOURSELF

LIVE AN AUTHENTIC LIFE, NOT A SAFE LIFE

YOUR CURRENT PROBLEM HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU TO TEACH YOU VALUABLE LESSONS FOR SUCCESS AND HAPPINESS

ANGER SURRENDERS YOUR POWER TO OTHERS

RESOLVE TO BE AN UNSHAKEABLE OPTIMIST

BE UNCOMMON

THINGS WILL UNFOLD IN THEIR OWN TIME

RATHER LIVE ONE DAY AS A LION THAN ONE HUNDRED AS A LAMB

TREAT EVERYDAY LIKE IT’S A FRIDAY

EVERYONE WANTS TO FEEL IMPORTANT

LIKE A PALM TREE, WHEN DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY COMES ALONG, RESIST BROKENNESS BY BENDING

TRUST IN YOUR OWN GREATNESS
