I want to share with you some inspiring posts I have bookmarked in my Google Reader the past few weeks

From CD Muckosky:

It really is the truth. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to “keep up” depending on what our life holds; to keep up with consistent posts on blog(s), to keep up with the other mom who volunteers 4 times a week and always puts on the coolest parties, to have the kids running to x number of activities like their friends, and be sure to send out the right amount of Christmas cards and complete x number of Christmas projects. This doesn’t all apply to me, I have always tried my best to keep in my vision what matters most, but some of it does, and I see it in so many others that I care about.

why do we do this?

For a long time I have kept this quote framed somewhere in my home and held dear these words:
” One Hundred Years From Now
It will not matter what kind of car I drove,
what kind of house I lived in,
How much money I had in my bank account,
Nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a little better
because I was important in the life of a child.”
-Forest Witcraft

From Caryl:

Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. This applies to play as well as work. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much by making a slight change in your routine. No more busy work. No more hiding from success. Leave time, leave space, to grow. Now. Now! Not tomorrow! ~ Og Mandino

And finally this quote by Sharon (KSharonK):

Sometimes you just have to take the leap
and build your wings on the way down.
(Yobi Yamada)

I think I need to scrap that quote. It will be my quote for this year

Take risks.
Leap of faith.
FLY.
