positive

I discovered this quote recently from a very inspiring talk... It's funny how certain things find you just when you need them.

Be careful what you think
For what you think becomes what you say...
Be careful what you say
For what you say becomes what you do...
Be careful what you do...
For what you do becomes your character...
Be careful of your character
For your character becomes your destiny.

It's adapted from this quote.

As a habitual worrier previously, I'm switching to this thought process, especially when it comes to my creative journey.

What positive words & quotes do you hold close to you? Or have helped you in your creative process?

Please share with us today.

I love this post! It speaks to me directly!

A quote I love that really helps me is "Don't let comparison steal your joy." (I can't remember where I saw it)
"Worrying does not empty tomorrow of it's troubles, it empties today of it's strength." ~ Corrie Ten Boom

"God gave me photography so that I could pray with my eyes." ~ Dewitt Jones

I shared this on my Facebook page a few days ago as a reminder to myself as well as to my clients. :)

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

“Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything that is beautiful; for beauty is God’s handwriting- a wayside sacrament. Welcome it in every fair face, in every fair sky, in every fair flower, and thank God for it as a cup of blessing.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
