Initially picked this out to collect stuff for work purposes... but it ended up being something else.
Nonetheless, some of my favourite picks that resonated with me, or I felt would be useful for everyone :)

Finding the way

• Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
• Don’t ask yourself what the world needs, ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive. –Howard Thurman
• If you only do what you’ve always done, you’ll only get what you’ve always had.
• Stay authentic.
• You will find you have more energy if you put yourself in situations that require your energy. If you sit and worry, on the other hand, you will always feel lethargic.
• The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you. BB King

• You are braver than you believe, stronger then you seem, and smarter than you think. –A.A. Milne

The Empowered Heart
• We are not held back by the love we didn’t receive in the past, but by the love we’re not extending in the present.- Marianne Williamson
• Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.- Henry David Thoreau
Empowerment at Work
• The more things you do, the more you can do.- Lucille Ball
• If you don’t occasionally bite off more than you can chew, you will always feel a little hungry.
• Would you hire yourself?
• Don’t fall for the spin- neither the spin others tell you, nor the spin you tell yourself.
The Guides
• I’m tough, I’m ambitious and I know exactly what I want. If that makes me a bitch, okay.- Madonna
• Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.- Seneca the Younger
• Life is just a chance to grow a soul. A. Powell Davies
• As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. – Marianne Williamson
• Ste your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realise that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.- Eileen Caddy
The Power of Laughter
• Be like a postage stamp-stick to one thing until you get there.- Josh Billings
• I’m sick of following my dreams. I’m just going to ask them where they’re goin’ and hook up with them later. –Mitch Hedberg
