Our Greatest Weakness
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
Understand Who You Are
“Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.”
What Are You Encouraging?
“Weeds don’t need any encouragement to grow. Much like our negative and repetitive thoughts they have a force and will of their own. This seems to be a function of our minds left over from the days of old when life was a lot more dangerous and difficult. Advertisers, news media outlets and propagandists seem to know this quite well and aim to play on our unfounded fears. These fears are nebulous and detached from any real threat, and because they are unfounded in reality, any slight mention of negativity will give these fears something to attach to and help justify themselves, though unnecessary. But, in the modern times we need not focus on the negative things so intensely seeing as the world has improved immensely, though not perfect. Let us give more attention to the positive and productive use of our miraculous and powerful minds. Only by doing so can we ever realize a reality in which we pay more attention to what is going right, rather than what is going wrong. When you focus on what you don’t want. you tend to get more of that and vice-versa. Our thoughts tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies. Let them fulfill something desirable”
-R.B. Royal
Who Are You?

Know Yourself
“Nobody is so miserable as he who longs to be somebody else and something other than the person he is in body and mind.”
Keep Your Light On
“Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
Don’t Wait
“Don’t be afraid of getting started, be afraid of never starting.”
-E.R. Hughes
Hold On To The Vision
“Never surrender to the doubts that cloud your mind. Never retreat from who you are. Know what you’re fighting for.”
