Quotes To Live By...

I find that surrounding myself with people that are more successful than myself, proves beneficial.  I learn something; iron sharpens iron.  I also adopt quotes from successful people as a source of inspiration.  Learning that motivation is something that is set and not something that just happens, is the first step to achieving one's goals and dreams.  Here is a quote that has rededicated my focus this week: 

"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right."
