I assume you're attempting snark, but I honestly get idiotic songs like this stuck in my head when I do need encouragement. If nothing else they are distracting.

No, I'm not trying to be snarky. This song helps me when I feel stuck. You know, just do it... stop stalling and take action. It doesn't hurt that it has an awesome beat and you can dance to it.

Shit that is killing me makes me weaker. And I am pretty strong.

At the time sure, but after a period of difficulty many people find that they have been shaped and strengthened by the things they have gone through.

Some of my favorite quotes are:

"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear" ~no idea who said this, all credit to the original speaker once I figure out who it is/was

"Doing the best thing at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." ~Oprah

"You can do anything for 15 minutes" ~ my mom

"Duty, Honor, Country" ~West Point (more of a motto than an inspirational quote, but it encompasses much of the philosophy by which I try to live my life)

"Integrity is everything" ~my dad (see comment RE previous quote)

You don't win friends with salad.

Well, one of you great minds botched the citation.

Because they are just empty platitudes? Yeah, I'm with you on that, PPP.

Down to the second. It's a miracle.
