It’s Friday the 13th and I am so superstitious. It’s been a stressful week in terms of a few things personally and professionally…. so naturally I’m convinced that everything that can go wrong will today. You better believe that I will be knocking on wood and avoiding cracks in the sidewalk all day long.
I wrote down this Oprah quotation in my Moleskine this week. I needed the reminder as I go through a roller coaster of emotions. One minute I’m over the moon with excitement and the next I’m hyperventilating in the back of a cab. (But actually.)
This quotation is the best reminder. It’s an adventure. With adventure comes risk and excitement and enjoyment and a healthy dose of fear. But it’s all worth it… hopefully, right? At the end of the day, I’d much rather be on an adventure and have some anxiety than be bored and just running through the motions. I prefer the risk.
I also just love this quote because it’s a great twist on my ever-favorite “Live Your Dreams.” I’ll take all the inspiration I can get, please.

I love this quote too! So inspirational!
My all time favorite quotes is by Mark Twain…
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Great backgrounds 🙂 Thanks!

Yay, so excited! I was thinking this morning that I needed a new desktop wall paper! This is so true, don't ever settle. 🙂
I love this reminder. I'm currently trying to summon the courage needed to go live the life of my dreams. Thanks so much for sharing!
Right now I'm really loving "If you don't like where you are, change it. You're not a tree." Such a great reminder that we all ultimately control our own happiness.
Love all our inspiring quotes and thoughts! This perfectly captures the adventure that I'm about to embark on and the risks (along with tons of fear) that I am about to take. I'm excited and nervous, but like you said, I rather take some risks than live a boring life. 🙂
'Hit Your Stride' I have the Kate Spade bracelet with it on the inside and wear it all the time. I just started running so I use it then and it works when I am facing panic at work too. It reminds me to keep going, that even though this moment is tough, I have the strength to get through it.
Lately I have been loving the quote "If you're your authentic self, you have no competition" -Scott Stratten!
Stress is healthy, but it's important to not overdo it, like all good things. Here's to hoping we all live our dreams.

Oh Oprah, always knows what to say! My favorite quote right now is "once a year, go someplace you've never been before" by the Dalai Lama. I've been on a traveling kick and made this one of my goals this year.

Love the new wallpaper! 😀
This quote has been inspiring me lately:
Life has no smooth road for any of us; and in the bracing atmosphere of a high aim the very roughness stimulates the climber to steadier steps, till the legend, over steep ways to the stars, fulfills itself.

I love it! I always experience some level of anxiety on a daily basis. Most of the time it's so minimal, but I know it's there. Probably from some undiagnosed anxiety disorder as a child… but I don't think I'd know how to function without it, if that makes sense. Life is definitely a ride!

Love it!
Thank you for this quote! I think I needed to see this (especially all that has been going on). This is very inspiring. 🙂
This was a much needed confidence boost for the hectic month I had. Definitely love knowing that I am doing everything I want to in life. Love the wallpaper and I might change the color to make it a little more manly for my phone 🙂
