Get Inspired!

Inspiration can come from anywhere – a unique period in history, an artist or author, a moving blog post, or a friend! Here’s a quick sample of some things that have inspired me recently.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” – Howard Thurman

“I desire that there may be as many persons in the world as possible; but I would have each one be very careful to find out and pursue his own way and not his father’s or his mother’s or his neighbor’s instead . . .  – Henry David Thoreau”

“Opportunity dances with those already on the dance floor.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr.

“Without adequate study there cannot be adequate reflection; without adequate reflection there cannot be adequate discussions; without adequate discussion there cannot be that fruitful interchange of minds which is indispensable to thoughtful, unhurried decision and its formulation in learned and impressive opinions.” – Felix Frankfurter, Supreme Court Justice

Life isn’t about finding yourself.  Life is about creating yourself. – George Bernard Shaw

Some of my favorite books include:
