My (current) top 25 quotes

Posted 23 Dec 2010 in Articles

I love quotes.  They motivate, inspire, and help get me going when I need a little push.

I have pages and pages of quotes that I refer to often. I like to pick a quote each morning and use it as my mantra for the day. I put them up on my fridge, the mirror in my bathroom, on the wall next to my desk; anywhere that I will see them frequently. I will say them to clients during a session, or email them at random times during the day just to help get their mind right. Here is my current “top 25″ list. This is a list that changes on a weekly basis.

Use them  and share them often.
