Who Said That?

From the old wives tales that our grandparents taught us, to a business mantra that is tossed around the boardroom, we all know one or two quotes that have inspired us.


For me, a motivational quote can be used to boost my own self esteem, or passed on to one of my holistic clients.  Enhancing well-being and inspiring someone to succeed can be as simple as passing on a brief sentence.

We all know that words can harm or heal, I choose to live my life on the healing path and as such I pass on the inspirational quotes and mantras that I've collected over the years.


 
Thanks to Weight Watchers for this one
I wanted to share some of my favourite affirmations with you.  I hope you like them as much as I do and can use them to fill your day with a sense of purpose, a smile or to feel uplifted.  Enjoy x

"Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures" - H.Jackson Brown

      Thanks Julia, Goethe' s quote is a good one. It was very hard to only list a few, I could probably wallpaper my house with the amount I have collected ;-)

    Interestingly the quotes you have picked have been the ones I have been chucking Ian's way for his new journey in Monday. :-) At this rate I might get the support from him to open a coffee shop if his job his well. ;-) Keep inspiring xx

    What an inspiring post Shelly. I've just read your fabulous book How I Changed My Life. Wonderfully humorous, easy to read, and again so inspiring.
