..."I do not try to dance better than anyone else. I only try to to dance better than myself." Mikhail Baryshnikov Hi Monica, in fact the more you concentrate on your own success rather than comparing yourself to others, the more 'at peace' you are. (JOY)

Thanks Joy, that is by far one of the most important lessons I learned in my late 30's : )

Yes I forgot to mention your Lama quote Ian. Very nice. My favorite of DL quote is "Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck." I think I could write an amazing book on never getting what I wanted and now having everything I never knew I wanted : )

...What are your favorite motivational quotes (good or bad)? Hi Monica, it's interesting that even though you opened this thread to both "good" and "bad" motivational quotes, no "bad" ones have been aired. Perhaps there aren't any! Or perhaps in life 'good' always overrides 'bad' ?? (JOY)

How about:
"No matter how good you are there is always someone better"?
"The race is not always to the swift, or the battle to the strong. But that's the way to bet"
"Money can't buy you happiness"
"Everyone has their appointed place"
"It's not what you know it's who you know"
"If you're a pessimist you are never disappointed"
I would go on, but I feel the urge for a tub of triple chocolate ice cream and an action movie.

Or:
"If you teach a man to fish you can sell him graphite rods, special lures, hooks, different strengths of line, a fishing licence...."
