Motivation Monday! Quotes to inspire, enlighten, and empower you...

No matter where we are in our walk of life, sometimes the "right words" can help us deal with difficult times, encourage us to greater heights, or simply cause us to have a more positive outlook on our journey.   In fact, the "Good Book" tells us that: "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver."


Which is why I'd like to dedicate today as Motivation Monday, folks!
The following quotes can be used to get you through a hectic week ahead, or even serve as a writing "prompt" to stir the creative juices.

Are you stuck on how to start the intro to your next creative piece? Finding tax time to be "taxing"?
Has a recent rejection from an editor got you singing the blues?

If so, no doubt you'll find a quote or two that empowers you and inspires a smile.

These sage sayings address a wide array of themes and things to ponder.
As they were assembled from different sources, I am not certain as to the origin or (all) respective authors.

Hope you enjoy!
