I feel the need to continue to find ways to inspire myself...

If the things I really love —
water, the sun, love —
could be bought,
I’d have been ruined long ago.
~ Picasso


The only dream worth having is to dream that you will live while you are alive, and die only when you are dead. To love, to be loved. To never forget your own insignificance. To never get used to the unspeakable violence and vulgar disparity of the life around you. To seek joy in the saddest places. To pursue beauty to its lair. To never simplify what is complicated or complicate what is simple. To respect strength, never power. Above all to watch. To try and understand. To never look away. And never, never to forget.
~ Arundhati Roy

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, So what. That’s one of my favourite things to say. So what. 

~ Andy Warhol

You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space.
~ Johnny Cash

Remember to take time for yourself. Remove that pressure to be everything to everyone. Remember that you’re only one person and can only accomplish certain things. It's especially crucial that you carve out some “me time” because if you run yourself into the ground, you’re not going to be much help to yourself, let alone to the people around you.
~ Lessons Learned In Life

You are a being of Light with such infinite worth to the entire Universe. Your life did not begin on this planet or in this dimension for that matter. Before you were conceived the Universe knew you, loved you, honored you. You are here on purpose, you are a powerful creator and your destiney is still being written. You are not stuck in any way. You have the power within you to transform your entire life. You are soo amazing!!!

~ K. Allen K

Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life.

~ BKS Iyengar

Run from what’s comfortable. Forget safety. Live where you fear to live. Destroy your reputation. Be notorious.
~ Rumi

Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
~ Lao Tzu

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
~ Henry David Thoreau
