Reach for the Stars

“When you reach for the stars, you are reaching for the farthest thing out there. When you reach deep into yourself, it is the same thing, but in the opposite direction. If you reach in both directions, you will have spanned the universe.”

― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

        To achieve your full potential, you must first believe in a future of limitless possibilities and have the drive to never stop reaching for the stars. In the same vein, you must harness that same drive to reach deep inside yourself in search of the better version of you. Self-care and self-discovery are just as important as chasing external goals.

Give Your All

“You read and write and sing and experience, thinking that one day these things will build the character you admire to live as. You love and lose and bleed best you can, to the extreme, hoping that one day the world will read you like the poem you want to be.”

― Charlotte Eriksson

         Give your all to everything you do in this life. Lay your heart and soul bare on the table holding nothing back. Let the world truly see you for who you are and for all you have to give. For you deserve to shine as bright as the stars lighting up the night sky. Be confident, be bold, and let the world hear your song.

The Journey of Today

“The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.”

― Steve Maraboli,
Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

           To move forward in life, you must close the door on yesterday’s regrets. For in order to fully embrace what today has to offer, you must free yourself of the chains tying you to your past. Open your heart and mind to new opportunities and new beginnings.

Live Your Potential

“I want to live my life to its fullest potential. I want to embrace my own purpose, however large or small it may be. I want to find my own Nehru moments and take positive steps toward becoming the person I am meant to be. The journey will undoubtedly be a winding one, filled with surprises and setbacks as well as gifts. But I’m ready to embrace it fully, wherever it may take me.”

― Mallika Chopra, Living with Intent: My Somewhat Messy Journey to Purpose, Peace, and Joy

         To truly live means to give your all and hold nothing back. It means figuring out who you are and what your purpose is. It means not settling into a mediocre existence when you were destined for an extraordinary life. And the incredible thing is that what direction your life takes is up to you. You have the choice to simply exist or to truly embrace life and learn what it means to live.

The Choice is Yours

“You don’t have to live with whatever life throws you–or whatever you’ve gotten yourself into…
You can choose to Change Your Story!”

― Kirstin Leigh

        At any moment you can decide that this isn’t how your story will end. You have control over what direction your life goes in. You can choose to accept what life throws at you or you can choose to be proactive to change your story. The choice is always yours.

Starting Over

“Starting over is an acceptance of a past we can’t change, an unrelenting conviction that the future can be different, and the stubborn wisdom to use the past to make the future what the past was not.”

― Craig D. Lounsbrough

        Life is all about learning that you can’t change the past and that it’s okay to start over, to try again. For your past is meant to be a way to learn and grow so that you don’t repeat the same mistakes.

Start Anew

“We grow up with such an idealistic view on how our life should be; love, friendships, a career or even the place we will live ~ only to age and realise none of it is what you expected & reality is a little disheartening, when you’ve reached that realisation; you have learnt the gift of all, any new beginning can start now and if you want anything bad enough you’ll find the courage to pursue it with all you have. The past doesn’t have to be the future, stop making it so.”

― Nikki Rowe

         Change is scary. But, the key is to never let fear or disenchantment prevent you from pursuing the life you want. You can start anew at any point in your life…it is never too late to change the ending of your story!! Find the courage and strength within yourself to go after what truly matters most to you.

Leave Your Comfort Zone

“You’ll reach a comfort zone in your life and start to wonder how you got there, how did you miss the sign posts that directed your real inner truth? Don’t feel so guilty, you know when your meant to know and I guess that’s the thing they don’t teach you; when growing up, pain is inevitable but staying the same is a choice. Don’t question why your feeling ready for something new, question why you stayed the same for so long.”

― Nikki Rowe

         Know when it is time to move on…to stop holding onto what is safe or comfortable. For at some point, you’re going to have to be courageous enough to lose sight of the shore so that you can truly experience all that life has to offer.

Choose to Act

“The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward.”

– Amelia Earhart

        Sometimes in life you have to take a leap of faith into the unknown without knowing what awaits you on the other side. You have to take chances in order to move forward to create the life you desire. So, don’t be afraid to take the untrodden path and don’t look back from whence you came, for you aren’t going in that direction any longer.

Reach for the Stars

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

– Harriet Tubman

         Never let anyone or anything prevent you from pursuing your dreams with an unbridled passion. For you are strong enough and courageous enough to achieve the impossible. The only person preventing you from chasing the stars is you. So, choose to believe in yourself and go after what you want most in this life.
