Most excellent.. great reminders of why we need to take time to think of what we really want and then say YES to the right ones. Thank you!
Thanks for visiting and commenting, Kristen.
Gosh, it’s hard to pick just one, but I think Henry Ford’s comment resonates with me the most. We are what we think, feel, believe and say we are.
Thanks, Jackie for stopping by and commenting.
I love the quotes, Sabrina. I have quite a few that resonate with me. One is F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “Vitality shows in not only the ability to persist but the ability to start over.”
Sabrina, a wonderful selection of quotes. My favorite is the Picasso one – “I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” It comes in handy when I’m frustrated by the newest project.
Thanks Joyce for stopping by and commenting.
All great quotes and depending on where I am mentally, different ones resonate at different times. One I love to share with clients is Henry Ford’s quote “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right. It always, always starts with your mindset.
I totally agree, Lisa. Thanks for contributing to the conversation.
“Learn to say ‘no’ to the good so you can say ‘yes’ to the best.” is very relevant to me right now. I had to turn down a great opportunity because it was going to take away my focus from my main objectives.
I had that happen this week too, Janet. It’s scary but will be worth it in the end. Thanks for contributing to the conversation.
Especially loved the “Everything you want is on the other side of fear.” I’d never heard that quote before, and it really resonated with me. Another quote I heard once regarding fear was “Knowledge is the antidote for fear.” I am a lover of quotes; I simply never tire of them. And they always manage to pick me up – kind of like when I look at art. Thank you.
I totally agree, Joan. Thanks for commenting.
Hi Sabrina 🙂
Love these quotes! So inspirational! It really does make a huge difference in your day when you can read something and feel so empowered, thank you 🙂
Two of these quotes really speak to me Sabrina! The first one “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow” by Mary Anne Radmacher, really speaks to having tenacity and persistence in life. I know this very well, especially relating to my health challenges and climbing back up from what appeared to be impossible odds. The second one is, “I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it.” by Pablo Picasso. This quote for me at least, speaks to being daring to challenge yourself to live and think outside the box. These are all amazing and inspiring quotes and I enjoyed reading how they impacted you in your own life. We all can use some inspiration in our daily lives and like you, I enjoy it when a quote from someone I admire is just the thing I need to hear at the moment I read or hear it.
I agree, Beverley. Thank you for contributing to the conversation.
Hi Sabrina,
I, too, love quotes!
The very first one is the most appropriate for me. Just this week I decided that I need to say ‘no’ more (even to myself with all of my interests) to build my business.
We all have priorities that we deem important. We all have strengths and abilities suited for specific tasks and responsibilities, and the people who love us and accept that we prioritize our life differently will understand. We don’t need to justify our answer or explain our life. This is our one life to live, so live how we feel called to live, not accordint to other people.
Well said, Rachel. Thanks for participating in the conversation.
Boy, did I need these this morning! Having one of those slogging times. And the Einstein quote just resonated deeply: ““It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer. ”
Thanks, Sabrina!
I’m glad you enjoyed the post, Susan Mary. Thanks for contributing to the conversation.
I love all of these quotes but one of my personal favorites is “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford. Self-fulfilling prophecy is powerful. Mindset is so important. There’s nothing more defeating than a negative attitude and nothing more helpful than a positive one.
I totally agree, Beth. Where are mind is, is where we are. Staying positive is so important. We are powerful humans and we must remember where our focus lays. Thanks for joining the conversation. =)
The quote that resonates best for me is: “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying ‘I will try again tomorrow.” – Mary Anne Radmacher. I am often stumped by technology or not remembering something I’ve been taught. I’ve learned not to give up & I do try again & again, often with success.
I love that quote to, Roslyn. Thanks for sharing in the conversation. =)
