Here are some other inspiring quotes you might like.
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination. #<Author:0x00007f356ca85a40>
DETERMINATION
Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character. #<Author:0x00007f356cabfb78>
CHARACTER
At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished… It's about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It's about what you've given back. #<Author:0x00007f356caeda78>
GIVING BACK
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything--all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure--these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. #<Author:0x00007f356cb22368>
MINDFULNESS
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:0x00007f356cb51d70>
RESPECT
Anyone can look for fashion in a boutique or history in a museum. The creative explorer looks for history in a hardware store and fashion in an airport. #<Author:0x00007f356cb8f260>
CREATIVITY
If you don't stick to your values when they are being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies. #<Author:0x00007f356cbc4b40>
INTEGRITY
Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience. #<Author:0x00007f356cc07508>
MINDFULNESS
I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence but it comes from within. It is there all the time. #<Author:0x00007f356cc28b68>
CONFIDENCE
Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals. #<Author:0x00007f356cc55a28>
LISTENING
The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but to reveal to him his own. #<Author:0x00007f356cc85f98>
GIVING BACK
Life is short but there is always time enough for courtesy. #<Author:0x00007f356ccbbcb0>
COURTESY
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches, but to reveal to him his own. #<Author:0x00007f356ccdac00>
ENCOURAGEMENT
Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off. But never, ever, ever give up. #<Author:0x00007f356cd16e80>
DRIVE
We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing. #<Author:0x00007f356cd4bc98>
BELIEVE
Don’t ever let a soul in the world tell you that you can’t be exactly who you are. #<Author:0x00007f356cd6c8f8>
