It's the first week of a new year and that thought alone excites me. I love New Years because it's like a clean slate. Last year's events are all behind me and there's a road of endless possibilities ahead. I'm also a sucker for quotes, because nobody can resist a good quote. So I'm combining my two favorite things. Here are (#) quotes to take with you into page 1 of 365, that is your story for 2017.
1. 12 new chapters, 365 new chances.
2. "Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties." - Helen Keller

7. "Do not let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway; we might as well just put that passing time to the best use." -Earl Nightingale
8. "I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something. So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make new mistakes. Make glorious amazing mistakes. Make mistake nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life. Whatever it is you're scared of doing, do it. Make your mistakes, next year and forever." - Neil Gailman
