Happy New Years!

The beginning of a new year brings enlightenment and promises of a new start; resolutions will be made with the best of intentions. Maybe they will be kept, and maybe they won’t. Changing your lifestyle is not for the faint of heart, but for the strong-willed and determined. Here are some of my favorite inspirational quotes that help remind me as to what I really want to accomplish in life. Enjoy!

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” – Vince Lombardi  (Come on, you know I HAD to use a Green Bay Packer coach for at least one quote!)

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”  – Gandhi

“Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.” – Harriet Beecher Stowe
