Resilience: "Today is never too late to be brand new"

So I listened to Taylor Swift's CD all night while I did homework and fell in love with "Never Grow Up". It's so good. But it made me want to cry. I don't know why I felt the need to tell you that. But listen to it!!

This is something my motivational quote site sent me:

We all have IT.
It grabs us by throat and paralyzes the body.
It stands on the way to what we REALLY WANT.
It prevents us from achieving success in life.
It doesn't allow us to become the better version of us.

The FEAR.

Stuff we don't even allow ourselves to consciously think about.
So we put it somewhere in the back of our minds.
We cover it up with smiles and "thanks-i'm-greats".
We mask it with hundreds of excuses why we haven't yet achieved what we dream about every night.

But it's still here.
With us.
With YOU.
WITHIN.

Think of your most precious dream, of your most cherished goal you want to achieve.
For a minute put all outside excuses aside.
Think what's stopping you WITHIN from living the life you want.
What's your most terrifying fear? What's your deepest frustration?
In order to accomplish your goal you need to smash it. You have to face it and destroy it with determination.

Step 1: Face it.
Look directly at it and describe it vividly.
FEEL it. Acknowledge it.
You can't destroy the enemy you haven't
even seen.

Step 2: Act.
What the average person doesn't know is that
a fear is actually our friend. It's hard to believe, I know. But it shows you what you should do.
So list all the action steps you could take that will beat your fear and clear your path to success.

Random and kind of intense but I kinda like it.
Here's some pretty pictures that make me happy:
