Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week.  Hope you find something that inspires you here:

Talk about your blessings more than you talk about your problems.

Hope is wishing something would happen. Faith is believing it will happen. Courage is making it happen.

Surround yourself with those who see greatness in you, even when you don't see it in yourself.

Either you use an experience to help build you and make you better, or the experience breaks you.

Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't.

Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to produce uncommon results.

Be about the cause, not the applause....Be about the game, not the fame....

There's no room for excuses when chasing a dream.

It's not just about working hard, it's about working together. You have to care more about the team than you do about yourself.

Make sure your worst enemy doesn't live between your own two ears.

Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words.

A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.

Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way.

Impossible isn't a fact, it's an opinion.

It is better to look ahead and prepare than to look back and regret.

The 4 A's of Success:
  1)  Academics.
  2)  Athletics.
  3)  Attitude.
  4)  Achievement.

What do you do with a mistake: recognize it, admit it, learn from it.

A team will always appreciate a great individual if he's willing to sacrifice for the group.

Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.

You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.

Competitors take bad breaks and use them to drive themselves. Quitters take bad breaks & use them as reasons to give up.
