Where are my fellow inspirational quote lovers? I am one of those people who live and die by quotes and uplifting reminders! I start almost every day reading poetry, quotes, or a page in a self-help book. This practice starts my day on a positive note and gives me helpful tools that I implement into my life. 

For quotes specifically, I love when they uplift me, understand me, and inspire me in just a few lines. Others can be dry and humorous – yet even they feel transformational for me. You might be thinking is she really talking about quotes? Yes, and while they mean a lot to me, they might not mean the same for you. So today, I thought I’d share the simple ones that I feel are universal winners.
