" A happy and meaningful life requires our continuous input and creativity. It does not happen by chance. It happens because of our choices and actions. And each day we are given new opportunities to choose and act and, in doing so, we create our own unique journey. Keep going..."

about this new Lounge thread: After talking with our wonderful Social Director, I am able to bring to you, a Motivational Quote each day that I can. I am trying to stay away from Religion/Religious quotations because we have many different faiths, Religions and beliefs on this board. Some days it might be a funny quote, sometimes a deep meaning quote...but all will have a positive them to it.
It is there for you to read, to discuss, to respond, to whatever you wish... food for thought, something to make you smile or something to make you think. It is there for whatever reason you want it to be. You need not post if you don't want to, as some quotes may just be completely random and bring a smile. Or like the one above, a discussion could occur.
The reason I asked to do this, is a combination of reasons.
I see so many people hurting, angry, hopeless and down on their luck these days.... a positive quotation might help, it might not. But there's no harm in trying.
Me: my selfish reason... during my chronic depression, reading motivational quotes helps me. So I would like to think it would help others, but, since I have nothing really else to do, this gives me a responsibility (to myself really) to post this thread.
***These quotes are random, by no one author in specific, and if you'd like to see any of your favorite motivational quotes posted, please PM them to me. These daily MQ's are not meant to have other MQ's added to the thread, as we don't want to have them all in one post. We need to spread out the positive thoughts in this great time of struggle and negativity.***
At the end of a week or 2, I will post a poll asking if this is something you would like to see continue at TCS
