..It's amazing what a QUOTE can get you through..

"If you try to be like somebody else you can only be as good as them, but who knows how far you can go"

"Run on the road before you dance in the lights"

-Muhammed Ali

"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying"

-MJ

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"

"What the mind can conceive, the body can achieve"

-Coach Spencer

"Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen"

-MJ

And one of my absolute favorites that i read before every basketball game but I think applies just as well to life is:

"Remember that there is a little girl in the stands watching you and wanting to be just like you, don't let her down"

To me it wasn't so much that there really was a little girl in the stands watching my every move but also to remember me as a little girl watching all those older girls and just like it said, wanting to be just like them. I would remember me as a little girl dreaming of becoming something and somebody, it would be a reminder of how I can't let a day pass without giving 100% because that would be letting that little girl down. I still try to remember that in every day life.

Dream big and hold on.
