Well, every chick needs some inspiration in her life.  And if she is going to follow her dream, then she's gonna need lots!   Here is some of my favourite quotes from 2 of my favourite books, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein.



"There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure." The Alchemist


"In his pursuit of the dream he was being constantly subjected to tests of his persistence and courage.  So he could not be hasty, nor impateient.  If he pushed forward impulsively, he would fail to see the signs and omens left by God along his path." The Alchemist

"That which we manifest is before us." The Art of Racing in the Rain

"I know this much about racing in the rain.  I know it's about balance.  It is about anticipation and patients...[it is also] about the mind! It is about owning one's body...It is about believing that you are not you; you are everything. And everything is you." The Art of Racing in the Rain

"There is no dishonour in losing the race.  There is only dishounour in not racing because you are afraid to lose."  The Art of Racing in the Rain


Cheers
Chick
