Confirming through my tears and snot, rage, fear, loneliness, doubt and incomprehension, and a burgeoning understanding, that I was on the right path, particularly when it didn't feel like that.
I took them to heart and they were my light, sometimes my only light in the tunnel of darkness. Here's hoping one of my favourite quotes in 2009 strikes a chord within you as well.
1 - Jim Rohn - If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much.
2 - Anne Sophie Swetchine - There are two ways of attaining an important end, force and perseverance; the silent power of the latter grows irresistible with time.
3 - James Allen - A man/woman should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of his thoughts.
It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which he has set before him.

Even if he fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for future power and triumph.
4 - Marie Curie - We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained.
5 - Abraham/Hicks - There is a tremendous skill in deliberately directing your own thoughts that will yield results that cannot be compared with results that mere action can provide.
6 - Mark Twain - Habit is habit, and not to be flung out of the window by any man, but coaxed downstairs a step at a time.
7 - Aristotle - We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act but a habit.
8 - Rumi - Love and love Alone 
that's all I've known in the beginning, the middle and to the end unknown someone is calling me I think it's my soul open the door answer the call.

Guilt is really a form of arrogance which makes life all about oneself; rather than just learning the lesson, correcting the mistake and moving on.
Forgiveness puts things in perspective and brings back innocence. It returns life to ease, flow and confidence.

Forgiveness is not a form of winning the competition while another fails. Nor is it about condescension or superiority. It is not deigning to grant the other mercy - which is really superiority (hidden judgement and over-compensation for guilt and feelings of inadequacy), and competition (distraction from success and fear of the next step).
10- Arthur Brisbane - Regret for time wasted can become a power for good in the time that remains, if we will only stop the waste and the idle, useless regretting.
11- Napoleon Hill - We begin to see, therefore, the importance of selecting our environment with the greatest of care; because environment is the mental feeding ground out of which the food that goes into our minds is extracted.
13- Peggy McColl - Once you believe that answers and resources can show up in your life, they will. The universe works to mirror your beliefs. It will prove you right every time.
14- Bob Proctor - There is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs.
But if you have a spare called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God. You will make it to a place called success.

15- Wallace D. Wattles - To receive, you must be active. Keep in mind your purpose. You will receive in direction proportion to: your clarity of vision, your definiteness of purpose, the steadiness of your faith, the depth of your gratitude.
16- Wayne Dyer - Infinite patience produces immediate results... the immediate result of your infinite patience is peace. You retreat in peace and let the universe handle the details.
17- Yaro Starak - ... spread your "risk" by building relationships with many partners, and never expect anything at any time; even if you are "owed" something based on the law of reciprocation...
Rather than continuing to explain to yourself that you can’t attract those people because your father didn’t pay enough attention to you.
Remember, your life is happening now, in the present moment.
19- Gilbert Keith Chesterton - How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.
20- A Chinese Proverb - Think of your own faults the first part of the night when you are awake, and of the faults of others the latter part of the night when you are asleep.
21- David Patchell-Evans - The health of your body influences what you experience in your mind. There is no split. If you can engage your whole spirit in the pursuit of total fitness - not just your intellect, not just your emotions - but instead everything inside you that is truly you, you'll discover what it is to be a whole person.
22- DailyOM - By affirming the true source of our self-worth, we feel confident and empowered about our contributions to the world.
23- DailyOM - Once we understand that our worth comes from who we are; our unique qualities, and our connection to the divine, it becomes easier to stop looking outward for validation.

29- Wallace D. Wattles - Because all people have contributed to your advancement you should include all people in your gratitude.
31- Wallace D. Wattles - Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude.
32- Oprah Winfrey - The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
33- Walter Anderson - I am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life. Bad things do happen.
How I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.
