A Dose of Inspiration: Obstacles

Posted February 12, 2010

“When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.”

– Mary Kay Ash, founder of Mary Kay Cosmetics
