I have a love affair with words. Words in any form. Words, written, spoken or sung. Words matter. They can start the fire of creative inspiration, or douse it. They can lift you on top of the world and render you untouchable, and they can bring you crashing down. They can make you fall in love, or break your heart into a million pieces. They can define you, even if the words that define you change daily.

For these reasons, I tend to surround myself with positive, inspirational words as much as I possibly can.That could mean scrolling through my Facebook feed to see what bits of wisdom are there to be discovered, listening to my favorite songs, or actively searching for a specific quote to describe the feeling I am desperate to achieve.

Each week I’ll be sharing some of these precious words. The ones that touch me and help me keep my head in a more positive, forward-moving, space. I hope you enjoy them, and I invite you to share with me your favorite inspirational quotes in the comments.

“Be fearless in the pursuit of what sets your soul on fire.”

Jennifer Lee

“Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”

Dalai Lama

“You are enough just as you are.”

“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.’ You must do the thing you think you cannot do.”

Eleanor Roosevelt
