Good Quotes about Living Life Fully and Pursuing Your Dreams
Feb 6, 2008
Creating a vision board, daily journal, or file of inspirational quotations is one of the best ways to pursue your dreams and achieve your goals. Inspirations for women are like guided imagery or visualization - they propel you in the right direction. Inspirations for women are about positive energy, having faith, and never giving up on your dreams.
Inspiration from an Unknown Woman in History
For instance, consider this inspirational quotation: “Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming “WOO HOO - what a ride!” (If you know who said this - or if you created this inspirational quotation - please email me so I can give you credit!).
Doesn’t that just make you want to live life fully and deeply, and create the life you really want?
Inspirational Quotation from Dolly Parton
Or how about this quotation for women: “Find out who you are and do it on purpose,” said Dolly Parton. It doesn’t matter if you’re a secretary, doctor, social worker or stay at home mom – be who you are. Not who people expect, but your authentic self.
Inspirational Quotation from Shirley Valentine
“I used to be The Wife. I used to be The Mother. But now I’m Shirley Valentine again,” she says to her husband, who went to Greece to collect her (she left him in pursuit of adventure). “Would you like to join me for a drink?”
In the movie Shirley Valentine, Shirley talked about her dreams and goals, which got lost inside her. What’s the point of having dreams if you don’t do anything about them? “Unused life” is how she describes what happened to her. Don’t get caught up in an unused life.
Inspirational Quotation from Another Unknown Woman in History
“Be free to not stay in the old story. To not stay where sorrow always looks backward, where worry always looks around to see what else might go awry – instead, look up, take the leap, see a fresh new world, and see a sky filled with nature and with God and the mountains and the roar of something greater.” (This is from a 2001 issue of Oprah magazine, but I unfortunately didn’t write down the author. If you know who wrote this, please email me).
Inspirational Quotation from Rachel Naomi Remen
“Joy seems to be part of an unconditional wish to live, not holding back because life may not meet our preferences and expectations. Joy seems to be a function of the willingness to accept the whole, and to show up to meet with whatever there is,” writes Remen in Kitchen Table Wisdom. “Rather than the warrior who fights toward a specific outcome and therefore is haunted by the specter of failure and disappointment, it is the lover drunk with the opportunity to love despite the possibility of loss, the player for whom playing has become more important that winning or losing.”
