We all have dreams and sometimes, maybe even often, it's easy to get de-railed off our paths.
Maybe we feel pressured and bogged down by the things that don't (in the whole scheme of things) really matter so much, or perhaps we are just lacking inspiration and need to take some timeout and reboot.
Well, this post marks my 75th post since I started the blog back in September 2012 and I have definitely needed inspiration along the way to keep me going with it! The journey has been well worth it though, and I continue to enjoy and learn so much from doing it, which makes it all worthwhile.
Below are 20 quotes that I hope help reboot your inspiration.
When it comes to your dreams remember “Forget all the reasons it won’t work and believe the one reason that it will.” and in the wise words of Paulo Coelho “It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
You get one shot at life, live it - LOVE it, and keep dreaming.
“When you look at yourself from a universal standpoint, something inside always reminds or informs you that there are bigger and better things to worry about.” (Albert Einstein)
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. (Frank Outlaw)
The Dalai Lama was asked what surprised him the most; he said, "Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money.
Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.
And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived."
