My Mantra: everything happens for a reason and everything is in God's hand... since there are things that are beyond our control, it's easier for me to accept both negative and positive things!

"Some days you're the dog and some days you're the hydrant"

"Can't cure stupid". Yeah, you're gonna see this one a lot.

"If not me, then who..." 1st Lt. Travis Manion, USMC

I heard this over the summer while on staff with a youth baseball leadership camp at the Naval Academy and I feel it applies to many aspects of the profession - the 'shortage', patient care / advocacy, etc. This was also the closing line of my personal statement essay in my application.

"Stand up for what is right even if you're standing alone". I try.

My mantra at work: I can do anything for 12 hrs.

"The minute you think of giving up, think of the reason why you held on so long."

"Listen more, talk less."

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss

"Always be a little kinder than necessary." J.M. Barrie

"No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another." Charles Dickens

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." Bill Cosby

"Do what you feel in your heart to be right--for you'll be criticized anyway." Eleanor Roosevelt

"Don't stumble over something behind you."

I know that's a lot, but sometimes you need a different one for each day.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun come shining through
For you.
Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
If you just smile

The Jedi Mantra
Emotion, yet peace
Ignorance, yet knowledge
Passion, yet serenity
Chaos, yet harmony
Death, yet the Force

I'm always telling myself, "Fake it til you make it!"

If that is too small to read, one of my favorite mantras is
"ATTITUDE IS 90% of EVERYTHING!!"


Others favorites include great quotes about perservance.

I personally believe, more than anything else,
our own attitude, and our perseverance, matter most.
