Transformation is a process and as life happens there are tons of ups and downs Its a journey of discovery - there are moments on mountaintops and moments in deep valleys of despair (Rick Warren)

We are at our very best and we are happiest when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal weve established for ourselves It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep It makes everything else in life so wonderful so worthwhile (Earl Nightingale)

When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress We cannot take more than one step at a time (Orison Swett Marden)

I believe that God breathed life into every person and that every person is made in the image of God and you have to accept them as they are on their journey (Joel Osteen)

I try to be grateful for the abundance of the blessings that I have for the journey that Im on and to relish each day as a gift (James McGreevey)

We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey (Kenji Miyazawa)

The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised (Henri Nouwen)

lsquoWhoever wants to follow my path must look outside of themselves and accept the need to make sacrifices For if you spend your life focused on yourself you will miss so much ndash indeed life will pass you by But if you look out for others live by love your life will be fullrsquo (Jesus)
