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

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.
