It’s no secret, I have a thing for reading fairy tales. The most inspirational quotes come from the most legendary fairy tale and adventure writers of all time. So, while I was sitting around today I decided to gather my favorite motivational quotes to provide you with food for thought in your upcoming year.
Whatever dreams you have, whatever challenges you face, none are achieved or conquered unless you take a leap of faith. -me
Before I get on with it I want to give you a little inspiration of my own. I don’t know you and you know little if anything at all about me, but for what it’s worth I would like you to know… You have a choice in life to follow a path to happiness.
I had the most unlikely hand of cards to land me on the path that I am on. I chose this path. After divorce, after being a single mother, with student loans and waiting tables. I knew what I wanted, I knew where my happiness lived. I cut the shit, took the plunge, and found not only happiness in my career, but opportunities I never knew existed.
For some people, to travel is to take a plunge. Maybe you can’t afford it, maybe you can’t figure out how to be away from commitments… Believe me when I tell you, where there is a will there is always a way. If you are willing to start something new but have commitments that are getting in your way, like school essays, you can delegate to Edujungles and follow your dream. Never give up. Always push the limits. Love your dream, breathe it, and you will have it.
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the people in my life who have held my hand, inspired me, and given me the encouragement to pursue my dreams (you know who you are). I wish success for every one of them. I am by no means at the top of this mountain. Bring it on!

Laughter is timeless, imagination had no age, and dreams are forever. -Walt Disney
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -Jonathan Swift
May you live every day of your life. -Jonathan Swift
Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes, but when you look back everything is different? -C.S. Lewis

The most important thing is this: to be ready at any moment to sacrifice what you are for what you could become. –Charles Dickens

To travel is to live. -Hans Christian Andersen

I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then. -Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. -C.S. Lewis
Everything you look at can become a fairy tale and you can get a story from everything you touch. -Hans Christian Andersen

I’ll admit that I’m sometimes curmudgeonly about sayings that seem like trite aphorisms, but some of these quotes definitely resonated for me. There’s probably at least one that will strike a chord with someone. Happy New Year. Write on!
Awesome thanks Suzanne!
Old favorites and found some new! Beautifully done!

“It is something that grows over time. A true friendship, a feeling in the heart that grows even stronger over time. The passion of friendship will soon blossom into a righteous power, and through it you will know which way to go.” – Sheik,
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The flow of time is always cruel… its speed seems different for each person, but no one can change it… A thing that does not change with time is a memory of younger days…” – Sheik
Time passes, people move. Like a river’s flow, it never ends. A childish mind will turn to noble ambition. Young love will become deep affection. The clear water’s surface reflects growth – Sheik
The Legend of Zelda series is by far the greatest video game series of all time. It has some of the most philosophical and inspirational quotes. I recommend people to check it out on youtube, or play some of the game themselves for a true high-fantasy adventure!
EEEEK!!! I love this! Thank you! I used to play Zelda. I’m that old. xox
