Inspired Thinkers

I have always loved thought-provoking quotes. Read at the right time, they arrest our thinking in the most interesting ways. They can spur us toward a different way of considering our own life circumstances. Powerful quotes can feel as if they have come from our deepest selves.  

Here are just a few of my personal favorites for your consideration. Take a few minutes to reproduce the one(s) that really resonate with you place them where you will see them often.

Maybe the ones that jump out at you are actually calling you toward something vitally important in your own journey.
