Now... on to me. My goal in life is to be interesting. I want to try new things. I want to be someone who says yes. I don't want to live in fear. To do this, there are two quotes that I repeat to myself every day.
"Life is lived outside your comfort zone." That's what I repeat to myself, although I believe that the original quote is by Neal Donald Walsch: "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone."
"I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're gonna do. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia." -Looking For Alaska by John Green.
What quotes have you chosen to help define how you live?

Great quotes! I love John Lennon's quote that life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. Helps keep me focused on today instead of worrying about tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteThis is one of my absolute most favorite quotes that I think sums up how I try to live my life.
ReplyDelete"She doesn't want an amusing story, she wants change, a break, not anecdotes. Her life has been stuffed with anecdotes, an endless string of the bastards, now she wants something to go right for once. She wants success, or at least the hope of it." - One Day by David Nicholls
P.S. I LOVED the text you sent me the other day! So Jealous!!!
Great quotes, Steph! This may sound silly, but Dead Poet's Society came out when I was a tween, and pretty much every quote from that movie inspires me. When Robin Williams said "But only in their dreams can men be truly free. 'Twas always thus, and always thus will be.", it gave me shivers. Okay, I'm off to suck out all the marrow of life!
ReplyDeletePlease, please tell me you've seen Dead Poet's Society, Steph!
