A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. ~ David Brinkley

This is a quote that I hold true to, and one that has appeared many times in my own life. No matter what you want to do with your life, be it favorable or unfavorable, you will always have nay-sayers. Here is where the bricks are thrown. There are just some folks out there who’s whole life is based on the enjoyment that they get out of telling others that they ‘can’t do it’. This is where your will power, self preservation, and determination kick in.

No one can tell you what you cannot do. If there is something out there that you want to do, DO IT!! Take those bricks that those with ill will sent your way, and build the foundation to the steps or plan that will eventually leave you to success. Many times, those who criticized or down played your intentions are only left holding that brick in the end, because it’s all that they could hold on to.

What are some of your daily mottos?
