Words of inspiration

You can use many of these as affirmations. Print them out and stick them where you will see them often (over your mirror, cooker, front door, bedside lamp). One per page in big font will be more memorable. 

I believe in my dreams

If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams and endeavors to lead a life which they have imagined they will meet with a success unexpected in common hours - Henry David Thoreau

I am becoming the person I want to be

I define my own success

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. (Albert Einstein)

What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing.

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? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. we are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. (Marianne Williamson - Return to Love)

The exploration of the highest reaches of human nature and of its ultimate possibilities... has involved for me the continuous destruction of cherished axioms, the perpetual coping with seeming paradoxes, contradictions and vagueness, and the occasional collapse around my ears of long-established, firmly believed in, and seemingly unassailable laws of psychology. (Abraham Maslow - Toward a psychology of being)

I give myself time for me

There never was in the world two opinions alike, no more than two
hairs or two grains; the most universal quality is diversity. - Michel de Montaigne  (1533 - 1592)
