Accepted Readers,
Today is day 4 of the 31 Day Blogging Challenge. I was inspired by a fellow blogger, Cindy Jones Lantier, to share a few words of wisdom and quotes with you. I encourage you to click her name so you can see her video, my source of inspiration.
Words are a powerful weapon. They can encourage and enlighten when used correctly. They can be embarrassing and hurtful when used in spite. They can tug at your every emotion. I try to be mindful of the words that escape my lips, but sometimes I say things I regret. Nobody is perfect and mistakes are meant to be forgiven.
Here is a list of quotes that reassure me in my times of doubt and uplift me when I have fallen. I hope they can become your ammo against dreary days.
"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up." -- Jesse Jackson

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." -- Excerpt from the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost
"It's not enough to speak, but to speak true."

"It is a happiness to wonder, -- it is a happiness to dream."

“We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that
you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know
that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something
that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have
something better.”

“Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.” --
