Positive thinking.

Constructive thinking.

Creative thinking.

Expecting success.

Optimism.

Motivation to accomplish your goals.

Being inspired.

Choosing happiness.

Not giving up.

Do you ever feel like giving up? Giving up on your goals, your dreams, or even life itself? I think we have all felt that way at some point. By Nea Justice

There are those times in life when you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. These dark moments can seem so unbearable, so unbelievably hopeless, that you feel like giving up.

When faced with suffering that’s more than you can endure, do exactly what you think you cannot do. Instead of giving up, prove yourself wrong.

If you feel like you can’t keep moving, take just one more step. If you feel like you can no longer hold on, hold on another millisecond.

Here is a list of donations pledged, but not received as of yet. I just got an email from Heidi in Dean's office and no pledges have been received. If there is a problem, or you have just sent it, send me a pm to let me know the status...Jan
