Several quotes to get you through your day - episode 229

“Limitations only exist if you let them.” In this episode I am sharing a handful of quotes that will hopefully help inspire you and motivate you to get through your day. I share how it can be easy to let the negative stuff and thoughts get us down. I mention that we need to make an effort to find the positive stuff. I remind you that the good and positive are there just as much as the negative. The quotes I share and comment on are about change, limitations and relying on our Savior. If you need a little pick me up, there might be one of these quotes or thoughts that will get you through the day.

Themes I Reflect On

Growth often feels uncomfortable before it feels empowering
Learning new things can feel humbling — and that’s okay
Faith requires effort, not perfection
Our brains default to fear unless we gently redirect them
Validation from the world is unreliable; Christ is constant
Small daily choices shape who we become

Personal Reflections

Doing hard workouts and noticing how motivation spills into other areas of life
Learning something new (like voice acting) and feeling awkward before feeling capable
Watching my kids prepare for independence and questioning myself as a parent
Recognizing how often fear shows up disguised as “realism”
Choosing to practice faith, optimism, and effort anyway

Invitation

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or discouraged, I invite you to find one quote — just one — that helps you take your next step. You don’t need a full plan or a burst of motivation. Sometimes the smallest encouragement is enough to keep going.
