I collect quotes like some people collect coins or stamps or shoes. LOL I love positive affirmations and words of wisdom. Here’s a short list of some of the quotes that have lifted me up recently. I hope these ideas lift you up too.

Never let a bad day make you feel like you have a bad life.

Most people merely exist; to truly LIVE is an extraordinary thing.

If you want to fly, you have to unload the stuff that weighs you down.

Mountains are moved by the carrying away of small stones.

Clear your mind of CAN’T.

In yourself, you can find your worst enemy or your best friend.

Live each day as if your life has just begun.

Don’t worry about failing; worry about the chances you miss when you don’t try.

We become what we think about.

Ask yourself what is important and have the courage to build your life around your answer.

Dare To Be Different

Be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons.

Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

There are two types of people in the world…you and everyone else.

Be among the few who dare to follow their dreams.

Don’t take yourself too seriously; no one gets out alive.

You can’t always wait for the perfect time; sometimes you must dare to jump.

Aspire to inspire before you expire.

If you’re always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be.

Embrace your weirdness.

Dare to be different.

I dare you!
