I love finding new quotes that brighten my day!

"Why Am I Not Worthless?

?As long as I have something to contribute to the well-being of myself and others, I am not worthless.
?As long as what I do can have a positive effect, I am not worthless.
?As long as my being alive makes a difference to even one person, I am not worthless (and this one person can be me if necessary).
?If giving love, understanding, companionship, encouragement, sociability, counsel, solace means anything, I am not worthless.
?If I can respect my opinions, my intelligence, I am not worthless. If others also respect me, that is a bonus.
?If I have self-respect and dignity l, I am not worthless.
?If helping to contribute to the livelihood of my employees' families is a plus, I am not worthless.
?If I do my best to help my customers and vendors through my productivity and creativity, I am not worthless.
?If my presence in this milieu does make a difference to others, I am not worthless.
?I am not worthless. I am eminently worthwhile!" - Feeling Good by David D. Burns, M. D.

I've always been partial to the Invictuspoem myself.

"Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley"

I love this idea. Thank you for starting this. What do you all think of a positive quote area for both members and listeners? It could just be at the top of the dashboard. We'd change out the quote on a daily basis. We could fill it with these quotes and others that we capture to start.

YES, people always want to feel validated, and if they find quotes that make them feel like some one understands them then that person knows they are not alone :)

"The night is darkest just before the dawn. And I promise you, the dawn is coming." - Harvey Dent- The Dark Knight

"I don't regret the things I've done, I regret the things I didn't do when I had the chance."-unkown

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. It is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkess, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that otherpeople wont feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."- Coach Carter

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step"- Lao Tzu

"Do not be afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."- William Shakespeare
