I believe in the power of quotations. During middle and high school (pre-facebook), I used to carry around decorative, collage inserts in my notebooks to remind me of my favorite quotes. When facebook arrived, I strategically thought through the quotations I would include on my page. Throughout my collegiate career, there were varying moments of quotation-based facebook status updates and IM away messages that I would painstakingly consider as accurate representations of my feelings at the time. Since I've entered the working world, I still have a few quotes laying around to remind me of some ideologies, but, mainly, I choose to mentally carry those ideas. And, perhaps, my all-time favorite quote is as follows:
"Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It know it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle...when the sun comes up, you'd better be running."--Source Unknown
So, my friends, I ask you the question: Are you the Lion or Gazelle?
Whatever you choose to do, choose to do it with fervor. :)
Happy Sunday!
