“We live and breathe words.” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Prince
With a heartfelt thanks to Laduchessederat, the prompt for The Great Book of Lists for this week is written by yours truly. YES, me! ❤ ❤ ❤
And you know I am a quote junkie so you probably know what will happen next. 😀
So here are THE WORDS THAT INSPIRED ME TO:
START THIS BLOG
CONTINUE DREAMING
“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
SHOW COMPASSION
“When you’re struggling with something, look at all the people around you and realize that every single person you see is struggling with something, and to them, it’s just as hard as what you’re going through.” ― Nicholas Sparks, Dear John
BE YOURSELF
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” ― Steve Jobs
NOT FEAR DEATH
“Death ends a life, not a relationship.” ― Mitch Albom, Tuesdays with Morrie

Thank you for the letting me inspire and write this week’s prompt, Laduchessederat! ❤
It is my honor. ❤
P.S.

I hope those words touched you, too.

Good news! I’m done with E&P! 😀 It got really exciting half way through the read. But I’m disappointed that they didn’t get together. I’m disappointed in Eleanor. 😦 Poor Park. I wished he could forget her and move on.

I love that Steve Jobs quote. It’s so easy to get caught up in what we think people expect of us. I have to remind myself that I’m the one who has to live with me–not these other people I’m trying to please.
LikeLiked by 1 person
That is so true. It is somehow a human nature to seek approval and please other people. But that could be tiring because we cannot please everyone. So I guess that quote is a great reminder. 🙂
