Dont ever give up on yourself...

Everyday is a gift.  No really it is. Sometimes its hard to get through the day, hell its hard to get up in the morning.  I am constantly reminding myself that all this hard work and all this sacrifice will pay off in the end.  I know this and its not just something your parents always say to you when you are having a hard time in algebra.  Its true.  So no matter what you are facing, whether its weight to lose, a marathon you are training for or being overloaded at work, you will survive and if you want to end up on top that's entirely up to you.  You deserve the best so accept nothing but that.  I remember coming home from school with my report card and getting straight A's and my mother saying to me, "you only got an A?" Boy did that piss me off.  But i get it now, 20 years later.  Don't ever sell yourself short, you are capable of more than you even know.
