You can go on many a websites and find some wonderful quotes..
Sometimes just a few words can really effect how you live your life..
They can make a light bulb go off in your head that changes your whole
way of thinking..
Though there are libraries upon libraries of "self help" books
I have found a good quote can bring me to the same conclusions..
Words to live by..
A good quote doesn't always come from revered authors, poets, or religious leaders..
Sometimes it's the few words a friend says, or a respected family member..
There are many quotes I love but want to share one in particuliar today..
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent"
Eleanor Roosevelt
I have often called on and remember these words.
When someone has tried to make me feel down with insults, or when I am looking at the world around me to for acceptance.
This quote reminds me of the importance of how I absorb things and allow them to effect me..That it really is a matter of "allowing"Do you have a favorite quote that you feel has improved your life in some way?

I love quotes and inspirational words, infact I have made my own book with quotes, poems, stories etc and I use it when I am sad or just need a bit of inspiration. Many of those quotes have helped me and some has had an impact on my life. There are so many great ones, it is hard to choose just a few, but here are a few of my favourite ones:
Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else, you are the one who gets burned.
Don't worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.
