I read this quote about five years ago and at the time I thought what a great quote by an exceptional man, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. the 26th American President.
I found that at that point in my life I was yearning for a change but like most people change is hard and as humans we are creatures of habit so we tend to stick with what we know. I couldn’t stop thinking about this quote however and I found an image on the internet with Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and the quote. I printed it out and laminated it.
I must have read it a thousand times and finally it sunk in and I began to change aspects of my life through actually going out and putting myself in the “Arena”. Fail or succeed I was going to pursue my dreams, goals and design my own lifestyle.
The laminated quote sits on my bed side table, it even travels overseas with me and reminds me daily that you deserve only what your’e willing to fight for, fail or succeed it doesn’t matter.
I hope you find this as motivating or inspiring as I have and I hope that it may resonate with one or more of your readers and help them change their life.
