Words of encouragement

I thought that I would share with you the affirmations posted throughout my apartment in the form of fortune cookie fortunes, cut-outs from magazines and greeting cards. Maybe they can inspire you as well:

Fortunes posted on my bathroom mirror:

"In great attempts it is glorious even to fail."
"Be tactful: do not overlook your own opportunity."

Cut-outs on the fridge:

"The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself."
"First say to yourself what you would be; then do what you have to do."

Cards in my room:

"Sometimes life takes sudden turns... without using its turn signal. Hang on and hang in there!"
"Success takes... perseverance, ambition, passion, courage, heart, humor and talent. You've proven you've got what it takes to meet challenges, overcome obstacles and pursue excellence to fulfill a dream."

Other cut-outs on my bedroom door:

"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone."
"Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, it empties today of its strength."
"Breathing in, I calm my body. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is a wonderful moment."
"It's only by starting in a place of peace that we find our purpose and power."
"Be the heroine of your life, not the victim."
"A good time to laugh is anytime you can."
"The best way out is always through." <<< One of my favorites.
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out just how far one can go."
"Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise."
