The strength which every being holds. To motivate and to inspire. My design is all about making it to the next level of achieving your dreams.

That sucks.

awesome design but a close up would be good i think

an obstacle is often a stepping stone? that's what it says, right? good design though

As with many designs in the running I see, I like the concept, but you've not not polished it up enough.
There is no need for the black splotches near the text. I can barely read the text; I couldn't actually make out what it said until I saw Matt's post.
I think that's a lion, am I correct? It looks similar to a bear as well, try to make it more distinguished. A different view of it would probably be better. If it is a lion, you could try making the swirls more mane-like.
The outline on the light blue actually detracts from the rest of the design.

If you polished it up some more, I would buy it.

it's good but it could be a lot better

thanks for the comments...and advice
