Quotes are such an important part of my life. I have a huge canvas in my room of quotes that I stare at everyday. I also have a couple of little ones on my dresser that I read. Someone once gave me a book of quotes to live by that I read from time to time. Most of the quotes that I have come to love are from music, books, television shows, or just ones that I have come across over the years. I wanted to put together a list of some of the quotes in my life that mean something to “me. If I wasn’t so scared of needles, I would consider tattooing one of these on myself but my fear of needles is far too great!

Here is my List:

1. “Embrace The Glorious Mess That You Are.” -Elizabeth Gilbert. I think I found this quote on google when I was looking for something else, it struck a cord with me. To me, it means that you should embrace every part of yourself even the messy parts. I love this quote because of how relatable and real it is.
2. “Roll all your windows down, Randall, crank up the music, grow out that fro, and let someone else make your bed.”-William, This is Us. SO many quotes on this show have left me sobbing on my couch, this one tops them all. This quote reminds you to live your life. Life is too short to worry about things, go out and live it.
3. “A happy soul is the best shield for a cruel world.” -Atticus This one speaks volumes as the world can seem like such a cruel and unloving place at times, this is a good reminder to be happy.
4. “You are enough”-unknown. It has taken me almost my whole life to actually believe this quote. Now that I do, I live a fuller and better life. I am enough. Believe it.
5. “Though she be but little, she is fierce”-William Shakespeare - I relate to this quote because even though I am short, I can be fierce when needed! I love this quote so much.
6. “She Believed she could, so she did”- R.S. Grey I used this quote for my graduation cap when I graduated college. It really summed up my entire college experience throughout all of the good and bad times, I was able to succeed.

These are just some of the many quotes that I live by. They all have struck such a cord with me and I hope that it will happen for you too.
