Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. #<Author:0x00007efcc250ff08>

GRATITUDE

Talk to yourself like you would to someone you love. #<Author:0x00007efcc24ee308>

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Gratitude is the beginning of civility, of decency and goodness, of a recognition that we cannot afford to be arrogant. We should walk with the knowledge that we will need help every step of the way. #<Author:0x00007efcc256e530>

CIVILITY

Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. #<Author:0x00007efcc254ebe0>

HOPE

Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow. #<Author:0x00007efcc2527220>

CONFIDENCE

Being thankful is not always experienced as a natural state of existence, we must work at it, akin to a type of strength training for the heart. #<Author:0x00007efcc25a2538>

GRATITUDE

Loyalty is a decision, a resolution of the soul. #<Author:0x00007efcc2588b88>

LOYALTY

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

#<Author:0x00007efcc25eb918>

RESPECT

Attempt the impossible in order to improve your work. #<Author:0x00007efcc25d83b8>

HARD WORK

To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater. #<Author:0x00007efcc26c20a8>

RESPECT

Being inclusive is having a human connection without placing judgments before it. #<Author:0x00007efcc2612ae0>

INCLUSION

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. #<Author:0x00007efcc271b2c0>

LEARNING

Watch the sunrise at least once a year, put a lot of marshmallows in your hot chocolate, lie on your back and look at the stars, never buy a coffee table you can't put your feet on, never pass up a chance to jump on a trampoline, don't overlook life's small joys while searching for the big ones. #<Author:0x00007efcc26f62e0>

JOY

There are no mistakes in life, only lessons. There is no such thing as a negative experience, only opportunities to grow, learn and advance along the road of self-mastery. #<Author:0x00007efcc26dad10>

LEARNING

An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. #<Author:0x00007efcc2753788>

CREATIVITY

If you get, give. If you learn, teach. #<Author:0x00007efcc272b148>
