"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
~ Goethe
The quote above is what inspired me to open my Etsy shop. It's kind of amazing what a inspirational quote can do for you. The "dream you can" part of that quote is what really did it for me. I remember thinking, "Well, I don't know if I can do it and be successful, but I can dream it."
That dream was good enough to begin it. And I'm so glad I did.
Now, I'm not the kind of person who looks in the mirror and speaks affirmations to herself. (Ok, well, I may have tried it once or twice but I found it to be ineffective and sort of weird.) But I do find that a great quote written or painted in a beautiful type can do wonders for my attitude. Here are some of my faves...

| "Joy" by Katie Daisy |

| "Let It Be" by Fresh Words Market and, of course, The Beatles |

I also came across an awesome Etsy treasury today, which is totally brilliant, and is good advice for everyone. See it here.
So tell me, do you have a favorite quote? Words that changed you forever or helped make your dreams come true?

ReplyDeleteLovin' it...totally missed you, btw...the treasury is cool! I think I should follow the Unplugged more, though... :( eek! Once the kiddos are in bed I shouldn't get so excited to get online, but alas, how would I connect with dear ol' sis? My fav quote today was from P, "I will try to hold onto the happy, mommy." Too cute after the rough day we had ;)
