I am a semi-pessimistic individual who struggles with negative thoughts from time to time. I want to change that. Quotes are a thing that typically give me perspective and guidance when all seems lost. And with all the turmoil and uncertainty swirling around us currently, I felt this might help to stir conversation and encourage my fellow man. I love all racing, and specifically moto. Having been on this board for a few years now, I know there are many different walks of life and some really good people who are active here. Take it for what it's worth, and feel free to add to this thread if you see fit. I would request that if this is too soft for you or you think I am a mamby-pamby for starting this, please keep it a thought, and not a post. Just remember, we are all not that different, and we are all in this together.

When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you … never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

--Harriet Beecher Stowe

Instead of the normal "have a nice day", i like
"Make your day great"

Take ownership of your mood, do not let others influence a negative vibe. Yep easier said than done, but yeah you can help yourself!

"You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."

I’m not superstitious, but I am a little stitious.

Not really a quote, but the cashier at my local convenience store says "you're perfect" instead of goodbye. Just seems weird.

It’s better to be a racer for a day, than a spectator for life

ATTITUDE

by

Charles Swindoll



"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes”
