What Inspires You? (A Few of My Favourite Quotes)

Hey everyone!


There are a few things that inspire and uplift me when I'm feeling down like: music, inspirational speakers, the Bible, influential people and quotes. Today I thought I would share a few of my favourite quotes. I have this journal, that I don't use as a journal because I never really saw the big deal about journalling and writing your thoughts on paper... I always had this saying: Don't write on paper what you don't want read... I suppose the same applies for the internet as well.. Instead of using it as a journal, I write quotes I like and lyrics from songs that have a lot of meaning for me. Basically it's a catch all for every random thing I find interesting.


I think I'll go with 20 quotes... (I have quite a few, and it's hard to narrow them down ha ha)

What inspires you??

You should always do what inspires and makes you happy and never let anyone tell you that you can't, my dad always says that the only obstacles we have in life are the ones we create in our own mind. It's hard not to compare yourself to others but there is no race in life, everyone has their own road to follow and their own purpose and the only person we should try to be better than, is the person we were yesterday.
