Quotes and Affirmations

In case you can’t tell from my Wisdom Wednesdays, I like quotes and affirmations. Many people use different ones to either help them get through a challenging time, to assist with changing their perspective or to help them to stay focused on goals. I use quotes and affirmations for all of the above. What is the difference between the two? Let’s see what Miriam Webster has to say!

QUOTE- to speak or write (a passage) from another usually with credit acknowledgment.

AFFIRMATION-the act of affirming; a positive assertion.

Below are some of my favorite quotes and affirmations. I have given credit to the creator when I know who it is. Often times, the internet is wrong about who said what!!

I keep a list of quotes and affirmations in my phone and sometimes I write them in a journal. Do you have any particular affirmations or quotes that are meaningful to you? Do any of mine resonate with you?
