Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week. Hope you find something that inspires you here:
Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Every single day you should wake up and commit yourself to becoming a better person.
It’s not about “having” time. It’s about making time.
Never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they make the most of everything that comes their way.
Never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it.

Look at your problems as problems & they'll continue to hold you down. See them as blessings in disguise & that's what they truly become.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Learn from the past, prepare for the future, and perform in the moment.
Remember, someone else is happy with less than what you have.
Successful people know the difference between patience & procrastination.
Great things never came from comfort zones.

When your passion and purpose are greater than your fears and excuses, you will find a way.
You learn a lot more from the lows because it makes you pay attention to what you're doing.
Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left you.
You will get what you want, when you stop making excuses on why you don’t have it.
Associate with those who make you better.
You've always got to be progressing and working and making yourself better.

In order to excel, you must be completely dedicated. - Willie Mays
