Every once in a while, I’ll write a post with my favorite quotes because quotes are an integral part of my life.

Instead of just posting them on an Instagram quote card and calling it a day, I think of these words often, constantly, almost obsessively, and use them to guide my decision making.

Quotes are simultaneously the most and least useful tools on planet earth. They can go in one ear and out the other, or you can use them to change your life.

I tried to think of the quote that has inspired me most. This is like choosing your favorite child, but I know the one that just hits you right between the eyes.

It melts away your rationalizations. It forces you to face your life head-on and decide what to do next. It makes you think because it’s both terrifying and inspiring to think about.

You’ve probably seen this quote before — in my posts and in others. This time, think about the implications deeply enough that you actually do something with the words this time.

Someone once told me the definition of hell; on your last day on earth, the person you could have become will meet the person you became.” ― Anonymous.
