I love quotes. I have a large collection in a couple different files on my computer, and several I’ve handwritten on post-its and stuck above my desk. So I’ll share:

• A year from now you may wish you had started today–Karen Lamb
• It’s not who you are that holds you back, it’s who you think you’re not
• Boldness comes from the strength of your convictions; arrogance comes from a feeling of entitlement (this one has been above my desk for months, and I thought of it often during the Democratic Presidential Primary season)
• Everything you want is on the other side of fear (I love this one)
• dream in detail
• Doing anything is better than doing nothing
• There’s never a good reason to do the wrong thing
• Grace is what makes it okay to not be perfect (and hoooooboy, do I ever have issues with perfectionism)
• Never complain about what you permit
• The problem that infuriates you the most is the problem God has assigned you to solve
• The who unlock your compassion are those to whom you are called
• The secret of your future lies hidden in your daily routine (really? WHERE?)
• When you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done

There are more, but those are the ones I look at, and are inspired by, the most.

Have a great weekend.
