It’s been a number of months since my previous “quotes” post, so I decided it’s time for another one. What better way to enter this new year than with the encouraging words of those who have been coined in history’s book of memorable declarations?
I often find the quotes of others to be very inspirational and some of my favorites lead me to unanticipated opportunities and successes.

Take these to heart, use them mindfully, and allow these beautiful words of wisdom to launch you into a fresh new year with hope, excitement, and possibility!
