Three Quotes That Inspire Me

First is this one by Joel Osteen: "You may have made a lot of wrong choices, but you've made a lot of choices that were right. Focus on your good qualities. Focus on your victories. Get off the treadmill of guilt."

Sometimes when I've been consumed with guilt, I've turned to that quote by Joel Osteen for strength. Today, I've committed it to memory, word for word, so that I can use it as a weapon to fight the feelings of guilt that torture me every now and then.

Second quote is this one by Maya Angelou: "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."

That quote by Maya Angelou has helped me see my writing journey in a new light. You see, when I began sharing stories early in this decade, I used to tell loads of lies. I also said some things that I later regretted saying. To this day, I cringe every time I think of some of the things I said in my stories.

But I've now resolved that should I again feel remorseful about some of the things I said, I will turn to that quote by Maya Angelou and remind myself that "I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better."

Last is this one by William Penn: "The secret of happiness is to count your blessings while others are adding up their troubles."

I've found myself remembering that quote several times recently, especially when feeling guilty. It has helped me put things into perspective.
