Some of my favorite things in the entire world are gerber daisies, music, cars & quotes (many more but I can't give them all away in one blog post, duh). It's important to me that I stay inspired while consistently growing & learning through life. Actions speak louder than words, but sometimes words can be unspeakably powerful.
I gather these quotes from things I hear, interviews/speeches I watch, podcasts I listen to, lyrics to my favorite songs & the amazing people in my life that I am constantly learning from.
Need some inspiration in your life? Here is a taste of my collection...
1. The title of this blog post: "the dream is free but the journey isn't"
2." Things that can be done at anytime are usually done with no time"
3. change happens at the speed of your decisions".
4. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results"
5. Someone once said this to me: "If change were easy everyone would do it, but it's not so that's why only a few find the courage to try something different".
6. "You can't have a rainbow without a little rain".
7. "If you want to make God laugh, tell him you have plans".
8. "There has to be a middle. Without it, nothing can ever truly be whole. Because it is not just the space between, but also what holds everything together". - Sarah Dessen, Just Listen
9. "You, and only you are responsible for your happiness"
10. You can't always control what happens in life, but you can control your reaction to what occurs. a little perspective can change anything.
(something i like to say to myself, positivity is key people)
11. "comparison is the thief of joy" - theodore roosevelt.
12. "creativity is intelligence having fun" - albert einstein.
13. Of course I have to end on my favorite number...thirteen! This is something
my Grandpa Ron says that has had ,& continues to have, a huge impact on my life
(shoutout to you grandpa: hope you're reading this...you and grandma are the best ;)....
"The only constant in life is change".
