As I woke up to the sound of rain, I decided to sit in bed and just be still for a few minutes this morning. The continuous sounds of the smoothing rain cleared my mind and as my feet touched the floor I decided to come up with some motivational / inspirational quotes to illuminate your day.
After you read these motivational quotes, I’d be honored to hear which one inspired, encouraged, or caused you to think the most.
My hope is that you will be energized and be able to take one step today towards turning your ideas into a reality.
