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.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time.
