Please share what inspires you, has touched you or is in some way memorable for you. I'm very fond of quotes by writers that give me a peek inside their skulls, like this one. :)

Life is for living.

 

Though it's nice to watch quietly sometimes too, when you need a break. You can miss some sweet things otherwise...

what gets me inspired the most is when i see people in my age group doing great things. it's like a really big deal to me and it makes me want to do greater things. The only down side to this is that i don't have the means. My favorite quote is "I'm gonna be famous!!!!!"

Good for you!

What matters is believing in yourself and keeping those positive thoughts rolling, Kayla. Leave it up to the Universe to find a way to make things happen. You don't always have to see the road ahead to know there's something fantastic around the corner! :)

A very timely reminder, Sean. December usually passes in a flash with so much going on. I think we need to pause and reflect at least once every day or so.

What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it. -Alexander Graham Bell

Inspiration exists, but it has to find us working.

Ha! Very good, Sean. You reminded me of the famous Abraham Lincoln quote "The key to success lies under our alarm clock".

There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth…not going all the way, and not starting. -Buddha

 

Same goes for writing! :)

Now that scribbler is absolutely true.

 

You climb a mountain one step at a time, you eat an elephant one bite at a time, you drink an ocean one sip at a time and you write a book one page at a time.

This is a collection and a hash of lots of different quotes but is something from my last adventure so I will attribute it to Tweezel the Weasel.

Now this I fully subscribe to. An excellent one. Over the festive period slow things down a little, quality not quantity.
