Inspiration for the Underachieving

Who needs some motivation? I was just watching Coach Carter and was reminded of this great quote. I'll also put another one of my favorites under it.

Our Deepest Fear

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually who are we not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

- Marianne Williamson


This one is on the Air Jordan shoe commercial. But I love it

It's not about the shoes.
It's about knowing where you're going,
Not forgetting where you started.
It's about having the courage to fail,
Not breaking when you are broken.
Taking everything you've been given and making something better.
It's about work before glory.
And what's inside of you.
It's doing what they say you can't.
It's not about the shoes, It's what you do in them.
It's about being who you were born to be.
Become Legendary.

There you go. There is your pick me up for the day
