"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself." - William Faulkner
I like the last part of this quote a great deal. I think how I want to apply this quote to my life would be that you should not try and be better than others, simply better than yourself. It goes right in with self satisfaction and self pride/worth. I think silt motivation is very important and something that along with a positive attitude, can have a great influence on my life. And I think what I've done so far with this project and a more positive mindset is already becoming a nice beginning for 2012.
All that being said - I'm running out of quotes. At least ones that I like. ...and that are "positive" in their subject. Pretty soon I'm going to have to expand and figure out what else to write about (not just my day because well... thats boring). But I think goals would be a great next step on this journey. Like I've said I'm proud I've come this far and while the past few sick days have fallen short -- I still managed to commit and work on forming this positive routine. All because I'm trying to become better than myself :)
