How often do we come across a passage in a book, magazine or even on a blog that we find touches us in someway? If you don’t have a place to write, type, pin (as in Pinterest) or copy those quotes, start today. Every so often, take a look at the quotes that inspired you at one time. It could be just the jolt you need to think in a new more positive direction.
This past week, I’ve been working on a 1930s project with a group of school children. While reading about Eleanor Roosevelt, I couldn’t help but be impressed not only with her life, but also her wisdom. Two quotes that struck me were:
About the only value the story my life may have is to show that one can, even without particular gifts, overcome obstacles that seem insurmountable if one is willing to face the fact that they must be overcome; that, in spite of timidity and fear, in spite of a lack of special talents, once can find a way to live widely and fully.”
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
