God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the things that cannot be changed, courage
to change the things which should be changed,
and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let me tell you something you already know.
The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows.
It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees
and keep you there permanently if you let it.
You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life.
But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit,
and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward.
That's how winning is done.
Now, if you know what you're worth,
then go out and get what you're worth.
But you gotta be willing to take the hit,
and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are
because of him, or her, or anybody.
Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
