inspiration in quotes

i've been going through some major changes these last six month. most of them have been excruciatingly painful but necessary. i wouldn't change a thing; in fact, i'd even say i'm thankful for these experiences. they are waking me up, bringing me back to myself to realise what i am (or not) doing to get where i want and need to be.

i've had quite a few dark hours where the negative got to me, scaring me into submisssion by way of doing nothing. during those moments of weakness, i actually turned to something: quotes. quotes from famous people, unknown people, business gurus, doctors and anonymous people. here is a collection of a few that have helped to make that dark brighten just a little.

i'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. i make mistakes, i'm out of control and at times, hard to handle. but if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
