This Week's Random Quote

I'm starting law school this week. And, to say the least, I'm terrified. [Lol] This is probably the hugest challenge that I've decidely taken on in my little 23 years of life. I don't know what I'm afraid of. I know that I'm more than capable of succeeding. So, today, I am making a public declaration of my God-given power. I know that I am prepared for this task and I will take it on with all that I have. Today may very well be the beginning of the rest of my life.

I found a quote in the September issue of O Magazine that spoke so clearly to my new endeavor. [[I know, I know. I may be young, but Oprah is the truth! Lol.]] This is the quote. It motivated me and perhaps it will motivate you, my readers, my loves...<333

"The magnitude and reach of your power is up to you. You must be prepared. You must commit the time, energy and effort required to achieve. Be persistent. The passion you exhibit for your ideas and ideals will further enhance your power. All of this requires COURAGE: the courage of your convictions, the courage to get started, the courage to keep going."
-Shirley Ann Jackson
