CARLEY'S WORDS OF WISDOM
- Motivation is the desire or willingness of someone to do something.
- If your motivated in your life, you will have a better chance to succeed.
- Greatness doesn't come sitting still.
- You have to move forward even if your taking baby steps.
- The greatest motivation comes from yourself. As you get older you have to motivate yourself. You can do this by reinforcing positive quotes to yourself.
- The road to success is paid by your intentions, so make your intentions noble.
- You don't have to be great to start, you have to start to be great.
- If it's important to you, you will find a way. If not you will find an excuse.
