Most people live their life by words they have heard. “Sayings” they’ve picked up – quotes that are repeated to them often even if paraphrased…
When the words, the sayings, the quotes are expansive, uplifting, empowering… you can see it in the persons eye, for it ignites the spirited flame within.
You can see it in the way they focus on what is important to them. You can hear it in the story they are telling about their life and the possibilities they are embracing. You know because they are willing their inner spirited woman come out to play…
What are the sayings, the repeated quotes, the words that you let play in your head and color your life?
I pick three quotes each quarter of the year to inspire me, remind me, empower me to clarity and a renewed sense of what matters to me. I put them on a nice card in my car, on my computer, on the cover of my little note pad I always carry with me.
They are my touch stone that lets me reset my thoughts and tell my story the way I want to so my life unfolds in the direction that I choose.
Here are the three quotes I have chosen for this quarter.
“Look under your feet. the great opportunity is where you are. Every place is under the stars. every place is the center of the universe…” ~ John Burroughs
“If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.” ~ Henry Ford
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
