Why continue on while to listening to the snickering of those who belittle and don't believe in you; who judge because it's such an easier thing to do. Easier and less dangerous than trying to understand and contribute and participate...

This is a Motivational Quote I keep with me when I need answer to the question,

" Why the hell am I doing this?"

• "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who actually is in the arena, who's face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat"

"The Man in the Arena" Speech given by Theodore Roosevelt in 1910

Hope this gives you the surge of energy you need to pick up your chin and get back in there. I know it puts a little testosterone back into my step...

Not looking for any votes, hell, they're not even my words. But I do believe in them and they help me get through those times when the skies are dark and all seems to be falling apart.

Print it out, Put in on your desk or where ever you go to create, and never fear to step into the middle of the action...

Thanks for checking this out.
