So I was having a bad day a while ago and my sister started finding me inspirational/motivational quotes and would put them in the bathroom so I would see them first thing in the morning. Since I don't go in my room anymore except to find clothes, I took all the quotes down and separated them by 'meaningful to me' and 'doesn't apply to me.' Allow me to share (with anything Jackie's added in italics).
Inspirational Message #1 "Let yourself be silently drawn by the pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray." -Rumi (this is the quote behind one of Billie Joe Armstrong's tattoos; 'be silently drawn' is written over his heart.)
"People will stare. Make it worth their while." -Harry Winston
"Whatever you are, be a good one." -Abraham Lincoln (Vampire Hunter-jk-he was a president.)
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." -Maya Angelou
"It's a nice day! Put on your favorite clothes, a good soundtrack, and go show the world who's boss (it's you)." -Liam Dryden
"Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them." -A.A. Milne
"Once in a while, it really hits people that they don't have to experience the world in the way they have been told to." -Alan Keightly
"A party without cake is just a meeting." -Julia Child
"I believe there's a common ground in what all gifted writers write. It has to do with their wish to turn darkness into light." -Mandy Patinkin
"Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people." -Carl Jung
There are more, but that's all I want to type right now. But I will leave you with one more that really resounded with me.
"When you stop doing things for fun, you might as well be dead." -Ernest Hemingway
