Inspirations

For this last post of the year, I thought I would share with you 10 quotes that inspired me this year or that spoke to things that have been happening in my life.  If you were so inclined, I would love it if you would share with me quotes that inspired you (please use the comment section).

Enjoy!

1- Work is love made visible.
—Kahlil Gibran

2- The more efficient you are at doing the wrong thing, the wronger you become.

4- The truly free man has no choice, he simply does what must be done.

6- 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.

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won’t feel insecure around you.

It is not just in some of us: it is in everyone,
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
—Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love.
