Surprise yourself

If everyone were able to do all of the things listed in this next quote, I think they could consider their year very successful.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness.  I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art--write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can.  And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

--Neil Gaiman

Audrey

In honor of Women's Week, my next quote is by Audrey Hepburn, one of the classiest women I can think of.

"I believe in pink.  I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot.  I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong.  I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.  I believe that tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles."
--Audrey Hepburn

Really Live!

I just sent out a message in a bottle.  It was one of those things I wanted to do before I died, and now I can check it off my bucket list!  My message was about really living life and not letting silly things like "well where am I going to find a cork for my message in a bottle" get in the way of things that you really want to do.  This next quote has a similar message.

"Life is short, break the rules. Forgive quickly, kiss SLOWLY. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably, and never regret ANYTHING that makes you smile."
--Mark Twain

Why Grow up?

Sometimes we need to ignore people when they tell us what is and is not possible.  Don't give up your imagination!

"Don't you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand? Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don't expect to see."
—Douglas Adams

Keep trying

This next quote goes along with last week's quote.  Sometimes we need to realize that we really can do anything we put our minds too, we just need the courage, motivation and willpower, as well as the realization that we may fail sometimes, but lucky for us we can always choose to try again!

"If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."
--Thomas Edison
  

Get out of your way!

Sometimes you are your own worst enemy.  Sometimes you are the one getting in your way and blocking your path.  
"Our doubts are traitors, and makes us lose the good we might oft win, by fearing to attempt."

--William Shakespeare

Life is Adventure!

Sometimes when life starts looking mundane, and the day to day routine starts wearing me down, this next quote helps me remember it's all about how you look at it.

"One way to get the most out of life is to look upon it as an adventure."
--William Feather
