Favorite quote (from a person, from a book, etc.) and why you love it.
(Sidenote from yours truly: I could probably talk about 50 million quotes, but these are some of my recent favorites.)
About Work
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. - Steve Jobs
Why I love this quote: It's totally accurate! You should really be able to enjoy your job and not stress or panic or get depressed when you wake up in the morning. I have had so many jobs where the basic thought of having to get ready for work would leave me looking like the saddest sack of potatoes. Fortunately, I went to school for a degree in what I love, and I am content where I am in my career.
About Life
It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are. - E. E. Cummings
Why I love this quote: When I was growing up, I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. Just crawling with shame, sadness, anger, and guilt. I was strong enough to face my biggest fears at a pretty young age (compared to most), and I have been given the unconditional love and support to find out who I am. Not everyone gets that opportunity!
She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. - Proverbs 31:2
Why I love this quote: It's absolutely beautiful. This is a verse in the Bible that I try to remember on a daily basis. One day I will live this verse. Until then...
God's "no" is not a rejection, it's a redirection. - Unknown
Why I love this quote: I just do! God gives you what you can handle, he would never do anything to hurt you or hinder your potential. Most wrong-doings in my life were because I was not doing God's will, I was doing my own. This quote simply reminds me that just because I don't get things my way doesn't mean the right thing won't happen!
About Love
I love her and that's the beginning and end of everything. - F. Scott Fitzgerald
Why I love this quote: F. Scott Fitzgerald was a literary genius and a hot mess. His passion for writing and love are just astounding. I have a weird admiration for him. He was an alcoholic that would've easily won my heart had we been in the same time period. I pity his depression, I shake my head at his ego, and I swoon at his writing. Pretty much how I fall for men (in a nutshell).
