I love quotes that inspire me or make me laugh. My daughter keeps a quotation journal with a list of all of her favorite quotes and adds to it whenever she finds a new one. I think that is a beautiful idea and it is one I keep meaning to adopt.
A quotation journal can be any journal that inspires you and in which you enjoy writing your quotes. I have linked to a few on Amazon and, as a disclaimer, they are my affiliate links, so if you decide to make a purchase, I will get a small commission, but there is no additional cost to you.
Now, on to the quotes!

I love quotes. I have them all on my walls. Sometimes I use it as affirmations.
Somehow, just I few days ago, I learn about neuro programming. And the way we say affirmation are not as effective as we think.
The best way is to turn the quotes or affirmations. Rather than saying, I am successful, ask yourself. Why I think I am successful. Its game changing.
Anyway, I love that most of the quotes you share here. My favorite one is
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.- Henry David Thoreau, Walden

Love the quotes, I guess I like some of the harsher or less motivational ones because it’s easy to get lost in the positive message. Maybe that’s a quote in itself…”read more negative quotes to make you stronger” 🙂
