65 Quotes That Will Dare You to Do Great Things (Part 1 - 1 to 22)
 If we are to do great things, we must always be motivated to take bold risks. If you feel uncertain, find inspiration to do what you are meant to do
At some point in life we're all faced with a decision of whether to take a risk. Whether it's leaving a miserable job, moving to a different position that stretches you, starting your own business, or even taking on a tricky new assignment, greatness requires risk.
Whether you succeed or fail, the act of taking a risk will stretch you and give you faith in yourself--and the confidence to do even more. Maybe we're meant to do things that scare us so we can build greatness in ourselves.
Allow these amazing quotes to dare you:
1. "Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great." --Mark Twain
2. "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." --Lao Tzu
3. "Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go." --T. S. Eliot
4. "Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at." --Unknown
5. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." --Robert Frost
6. "Unless you choose to do great things with it, it makes no difference how much you are rewarded, or how much power you have." --Oprah Winfrey
7. "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten." --Tony Robbins
8. "If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary." --Jim Rohn
9. "If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on." --Sheryl Sandberg
10. "People who don't take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year. People who do take risks generally make about two big mistakes a year." --Peter F. Drucker
11. "Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit." --e. e. cummings
12. "If you're going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big." --Donald Trump
13. "Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore." --Andre Gide
14. "The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open." --Chuck Palahniuk
15. "You can't outwit fate by trying to stand on the sidelines and place little side bets about the outcome of life. Either you wade in and risk everything to play the game, or you don't play at all. And if you don't play, you can't win." --Judith McNaught
16. "If things seem under control, you are just not going fast enough." --Mario Andretti
17. "Everyone has a 'risk muscle.' You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don't, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day." --Roger von Oech
18. "Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it." --Oprah Winfrey
19. "The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live." --Leo F. Buscaglia
20. "Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing." --Denis Waitley
21. "You can measure opportunity with the same yardstick that measures the risk involved. They go together." --Earl Nightingale
22. "The universe has no restrictions. You place restrictions on the universe with your expectations." --Deepak Chopra

DID YOU KNOW???
Oatmeal
 When I was a young child, my dad worked a very early shift. He used to wake me up in the wee hours of the morning and welcome me to the table with a steamy bowl of oatmeal. I never knew or cared about what time it was, I only knew that it was dark outside and that I was going to be surrounded by a dish of warmth. To this day, when I'm stressed or I'm just in the mood for a hug from my plate, I know I can count on the comfort of this guilt-free food that somehow feels indulgent. Breakfast With Benefits if you're not eating oatmeal, here's why you oat-to: - Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber. Soluble fibers form a viscous gel that helps to lower cholesterol and stabilize blood glucose levels. The insoluble fiber in oats helps provide a "moving" experience by curtailing constipation and improving intestinal health. What a delicious way to make your heart and colon smile.
- Oats make an easy, balanced breakfast. One cup of cooked oatmeal contains about 150 calories, four grams of fiber (about half soluble and half insoluble), and six grams of protein. To boost protein further, my favorite way to eat oatmeal is with a swirl of almond butter nestled within. This powerful combo will keep you away from that mid-morning visit to the vending machine.
- Oats provide important minerals. Nutrient-rich oatmeal contains thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese, selenium, and iron.
- Oats are naturally gluten-free, but check with manufacturers to ensure that their products are not made using the same equipment as other potentially contaminating grains. (Always purchase gluten-free products from reputable companies and read food labels carefully.)
- Oats could help you control your weight by keeping you feeling fuller longer. Sadly, carbs are often shunned and feared by those looking to drop a few pounds, yet choosing whole grains could squash hunger and simultaneously provide that pleasant "ahhhh" feeling carb-lovers crave. But, as with any other food, be mindful of portion sizes.
Foods that bring back comforting memories are precious and should be savored slowly. But proceed with caution when it comes to what I call "Ratatouille impersonators." Those are foods that remind you of a past experience, but taste nothing like the original dish. For example, let's say you noticed an apple strudel in a box on the supermarket shelf and it made you remember the way your grandmother baked this recipe. If you purchased it, tasted it, and it didn't taste like grandma's ... then hopefully, you ditched it! These impostors usually come with a side of angst, leading to discomfort instead of comfort.

Here's your "QuoteAction" for this issue:
"One of the most lasting pleasures you can experience is the feeling that comes over you when you forgive an enemy - whether he knows it or not."
Author, O.A. Battista Your action for today is to think of someone who has hurt you and see if you can forgive them.
Have an extraordinary day!
