In life, it is easy to get stuck.  We get stuck in our comfort zones, stuck in our routines…stuck in traffic.  We may never take the leap of faith in order to chase our wildest dreams, go after that guy you’ve been eyeing in the gym, apply for that promotion at work, take that trip around the world that’s been on your bucket list for the past decade…because we are afraid of the unknown, failure, and the what ifs.  Well, here are 10 quotes that I found that might give you the push that you needed for some time.  Here we go:

Quote #1

Quote #2

“For what it’s worth:  It’s never too late to be whoever you want to be.  I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start over.”  -F. Scott Fitzgerald

I think I saved the best for last…Quote #10

“It’s the oldest story in the world.  One day you’re seventeen and planning for someday.  And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today.  And that someday is yesterday.  And this is your life.  We spend so much time wanting, pursuing, wishing – but ambition is good, chasing things with integrity is good, dreaming.  If you had a friend you knew you’d never see again, what what you say?  If you could do one last thing for someone you love, what would it be?  Say it, do it.  Don’t wait.  Nothing lasts forever.  Make a wish, place it in your heart.  Anything you want, everything you want.  Do you have it?  Good, now believe it can come true.  You never know where the next miracle is going to come from, the next memory, the next smile, the next wish come true.  But, if you believe it’s right around the corner, and you open your heard and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you wished for.  The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it.  So make your wish, do you have it? Good.  Now believe in it with all your heart.”  -Unknown
