It's this that drives and keeps one wanting more.
St Leonards School
Chase Love.
Chase Gentleness.
Chase Truth.
Above all, Chase the Light.

Chase the Light that leads you home.
Chase it with every step you take.
Merchiston Castle School
We can't attain success in leadership by giving everyone who has an opinion emotional access to our lives.
Go with your gut.
Lead with your heart.
Listen and learn from people who are doing it better than you.
Take constructive criticism and move forward.
Even if 10 people tell you to do something in a certain way, but you know in your heart what you should do - Go With That. Always.
The Mary Erskine School
Time is the wisest counselor of all.
Time is like a teacher, the best way to learn, is to wait and allow time to teach.
At some point our physical bodies stop growing, however; our minds will always grow in knowledge through experience and the mistakes we made.
Time is a great force that can show us what really matters and teach us what we truly value.
Loretto School
Life is an open road.
Embrace the detours.
Enjoy the journey.
It's your road, and yours only.

Lomond School
It's not about perfection.
It's not about comparing yourself to everyone else.

Clifton Hall School
I've never been the strongest.
I've never been the fastest.
I've never been the most skilled.
But I'll be dammed if I'm not the one working the hardest.
Because success isn't given to you. It's earned. Every. Single. Damn. Day.

You've got this. Tomorrow is a new day. And it's all yours.
Silcoates School
We forget the purpose of transforming our lives.
It's not about getting to a finish line.
There is no finish line - it's perseverance through this thing called life, transforming inside & out - emotionally & mentally.
Transforming is about learning to love yourself through all stages.
Learning to be fearless, work your ass off & stay focused through all trials and always be more human.

Just START.
Today. Happy Thursday.

Kilquhanity School
When we talk about bravery, it's not always about incredible feats of glory.
Sometimes bravery is having the will to overcome a hard day, to have a difficult conversation with a loved one or to simply be willing to accept yourself as you are.
So do you. Be unseen brave, be everyday brave, be brave in your own way. Just please show up and give it your all.
Keil School
Do Better. Be Better. Hustle Harder.
In all you do, strive to be better than the person you were yesterday.
Know you can do anything you want to, you just have to give it all you've got.
Oak Bank School Leighton Buzzard

I want to push back and make room in the area between I can't and I can.
Blairmore School
People say that you only live once, but I disagree. I think you only die once but you have the chance to live everyday.
And if you aren't living every goddamn day like it's the best day of your life, then what's wrong?
And what are you going to do about it?
Abbots Bromley School, Staffordshire
You won't see serious improvements in your life until you make serious moves.
Cut your energy suckers and tap into your energy givers.
If you can't see your vision, who can?
Victoria College, Belfast
What happens in the beginning of your life isn't near as important as how it ends.
You may not get to determine what has happened to you, but only YOU get to decide the outcome.
Royal School Dungannon
Don't change your journey so that it matches someone else's.
We need to walk different paths so the whole world can be explored.
Revel in the differences.
And enjoy where you are, in this moment.
The Royal School, Armagh
If you don't make food and nutrition a priority, you won't reach your goals.
Food is fuel. Food is life.
It can either help you grow and succeed, or food can destroy you. Literally.
But it's how you choose your relationship with food that'll determine your results.
Rockport School
Some of the best fitness tips I ever got:

Campbell College
Not every week will be solid.
Not every day will be weightless.
Training takes on every form, the good and the bad.
But, come race day, confidence from training is all that matters.
It's better to be 10% undertrained than 1% overtrained.

Most misunderstandings in the world could be avoided if people would simply take the time to ask - What else could this mean? - Shannon L. Alder.
1985 HONDA CR-X
You either get bitter or you get better. It's that simple.
You either take what has been dealt to you and allow it to make you a better person or you allow it to tear you down.
The choice does not belong to fate, it belongs to you.
VOLKSWAGEN SP2
Your life is controlled by what you focus on.
You can choose to focus on the negative or you can choose to focus on the positive.
You can choose to focus on what's going wrong or what's going right.
The choice is yours.
Not Fatherless
He truly understands, so we don't need to explain.
He has a compassionate heart, so we don't need to be uncertain of His goodness.
And because He knows the end from the beginning, we know His timing is perfect.
In God We Trust
The Lord longs to be gracious to you. Even when we have trusted in lesser things, God still holds out His hand to help us return to Him. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
I trust You, God. Please help me to always rely on You because You're always Faithful!
Not Rushing Prayer
Make no mistake - God hears our prayers, whether they're quick or slow. But often the pace of our lives mimics the pace of our hearts, and we need to allow ample time for God to speak into not only our lives but the lives of those around us. How many life-giving moments have we missed by rushing, saying Amen and being done with it?
We're often impatient with everything from slow people to the slow lane in traffic. Yet, I believed God in His kindness says - Be still. Breath in and out. Go slow, and remember that I am God, your refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.
To do so is to know that God is God. To do so is to trust. To do so is to live.
Father, thank You for being my ever-present help in good times an bad. Give me the grace to be still and know that You're' God.
The Secret Of Contentment
We all face different challenges throughout our days; and we all can look to Jesus moment by moment for help, strength and peace. He will help us to hold back from snapping at our loved ones; He will give us the courage to do the next hard thing. Look to Him and find contentment.
Saving Christ, thank You for giving me courage and hope. When I feel weak, help me to find strength in You.
