Andy Andrews quotes about
Do battle with the challenges of your present, and you will unlock the prizes of your future.
When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape.
Everyone has a worst time in their life. There's always a worse time. We are all either in a crisis, coming to one or coming out of one.
Everybody wants to reach the top of the mountain, but there is no growth at the peak. It is in the valley that we slog through the lush grass and rich soil, learning and becoming what enables us to summit life's next peak.
It's time to stop letting your history control your destiny.

He gave battle plans to Gideon in a dream. Joan of Arc, Jacob, George Washington, Marie Curie, and the apostle Paul were all guided by their dreams.
If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs. If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights.
When I was 19 years old, both of my parents died in the same year; my mom of cancer and my dad in a car accident. Through the next two or three years and a series of bad decisions - all my own, I might add - I ended up literally homeless, before that was even a word. I even slept occasionally under a pier on the Gulf Coast.
I am a teacher and the reason I'm a teacher is because I'm learning as hard as I can. I'm not any different from anybody else. I am searching and having some success finding answers.
After all, the seeds of depression cannot take root in a grateful heart.
