Short and Sweet!

Below are a few quotes that have meant a lot to me over the years and I thought I would share them with you! Thanks for reading!

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, everyday, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity. Christopher Morley
(1890-1957, American Novelist, Journalist, Poet)

Most of us are pretty good at keeping promises to others and pretty bad at keeping promises to ourselves. Lawrence LeShan

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do, in order to have what you want. Margaret Young(American Author)

I've believed ever since that living on the edge, living in and through your fear, is the summit of life, and that people who refuse to take that dare condemn themselves to a life of living death. John H. Johnson(American Businessman, Founder of Johnson Publishing)

Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality. Les Brown(1945-, American Speaker, Author, Trainer, Motivator Lecturer)

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals. Larry Bird
(American Basketball Player, Coach)

Hope these quotes might spark something in you today to do something that will move you in the right direction! Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!
