I think everybody needs a life verse. It is something that defines you - something that charges and re-charges you - something that keeps you on course.
A personal mission statement could do the same thing. So could a personalized motto for your life.
Companies spend millions of dollars coming up with just the right statement or slogan so you will ultimately memorize it, remember it, and connect their products to it.
Some of my favorites are:
KFC - It's Finger-Lickin' Good.
IMAX - Think Big.
Volkswagon - Think Small.
Harley-Davidson - American By Birth. Rebel By Choice.
United Negro College Fund - A Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Waste.
Disneyland - The Happiest Place on Earth.
Ajax - Stronger Than Dirt.
Yellow Pages - Let Your Fingers Do the Walking.
Kodak - Share Moments. Share Life.
Hallmark - When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best.
Maxwell House - Good to the Last Drop.
M&Ms - Melts in Your Mouth, Not in Your Hands.
L'Oreal - Because You're Worth It.
Energizer - Keeps Going and Going and Going.
Those are some great slogans. They don't give you courage or hope or joy though. They're just slogans. Life verses keep you going forward when you're tempted to quit. Here's mine.
"When David had served God's purposes in his own generation, he fell asleep." (Acts 13:36)
That pretty much says it for me.
What's yours?
And be blessed.

This is the very first thing that came to mind.
There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?
Robert Kennedy
I often do things "out of the box", but I don't dream big enough. I'm often so inspired by minds greater than mine. The only thing I can say is be yourself, no matter what the world says.
