It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.

Change is like to surfing. You can't just paddle into life, stand still and expect to stay on top of your board. The waves of change will knock you off and drag you under. You have to shift on your surfboard, bend your knees and balance yourself, depending on which way the waves take you.

Some people even think changes are fun!

You are where you are because you want to be there. If you want to be somewhere else, you'll need to change.

Not trying to threadjack, just have a comment about inspirational quotes that I had to share.

When I was in junior high, in health class we had to keep these journals in class. They all had to start out with that day's quote of the day as the topic of sorts, and I kid you not, we had the Serenity Prayer at least 5 times that year. The first time I heard it outside of that classroom was as an adult, and I cringed when I heard it and this person looked at me knowingly, and automatically assumed I was a recovering alcoholic (I was in my early 20s, for heavens sake! Even if I'd had a drinking problem, I wouldn't have admitted it! LOL) So anyway, later I found out the reason for the look, and this story has been one of my favorites ever since.
If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove.

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours.
They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge.
If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour.
What will you do with this priceless treasure?

To accomplish great things,
we must not only act, but also dream,
not only plan, but also believe.

It is not the place, nor the condition, but the mind alone that can make anyone happy or miserable.

The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them ...

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.
