11 Quotes to Ignite a Fire in Your Soul
Creative Mornings

I have been on fire lately and wanting to make my mark in the world. Here are some quotes that help inspire me. I hope they do the same for you.

1. "You need to go from wanting to change your life to deciding to change your life. If you want to live a life you've never lived, you have to do things you've never done." - Jen Sincero

Quoted from her book, "You are a Badass," Jen Sincero brings on some hardcore inspiration.

2. "The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall." - Nelson Mandela

Such a true statement on the importance to keep carrying on.

3. "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." - Desmond Tutu

I absolutely love this quote. An eloquent expression of the importance of taking action and not being a bystander.

4. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?" - Marianne Williamson

One of the most inspirational quotes of all time.

5. "Change your thoughts, and you change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale

Real change starts with the self and comes from within.

6. “If we wait until we're ready, we'll be waiting for the rest of our lives.” - Lemony Snicket

The time for action is NOW.

7. "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." - Gloria Steinem

A fiery quote from a fiery woman.

8. Work hard, know your shit, show your shit, and then feel entitled." -Mindy Kaling

From her book "Why Not Me?" Some of the best confidence advice I have received.

9. "F.E.A.R. has two meanings - Forget everything and run OR Face everything and rise. The choice is yours." - Zig Zigler

You can let it control you, or you can control yourself.

10. "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept. " - Angela Davis

Angela Davis uses her words to show us the importance of taking actions based on our core values.

11. "The best way to predict the future is to create it." - Peter Drucker

One person can change the world.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
