Themes

I have always been a thinker.  Which means more that I get stuck on a thought in my head and can't quite get past it.  Sometimes this is good but often it leads to needless worrying.  When I get these thoughts out, usually through talking to trusted people in my life, my brain clears somewhat.  Somehow after these refreshing and reenergizing conversations I always seem to stumble upon quotes that other people have gathered or that I somewhere found and liked.  This year has been full of many repeating thoughts and definitely full of themes.  These are a few quotes that give me energy, seem to summarize the themes of my thoughts or are motivating me behind the scenes. 

"You must do the thing you think you cannot do." 

~Eleanor Roosevelt

‎"Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

~Isaiah 40:30-31

"So this is the part where I'm supposed to tell you it's not scary.  Well it is.  But fear is natural, fear is good--it just means you're growing." 

"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours- it is an amazing journey and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins."

-Bob Moawad

"We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities."  

~Ralph Waldo Emerson (Isn't he just the smartest man??)
