This was hard to narrow down because I love quotes and have collected them my whole life so I picked two that I love.  Here is the first:

“Perhaps the most important accomplishments of your life may go unnoticed but that’s all right.  You didn’t do them to be appreciated.  You did them for God from the goodness of your heart, to brighten other people’s lives or to make the world a better place to live in.” –Joshua in the Holy Land


That quote was from a rip of calendar my Mom or Dad owned.  I got it in high school a very pivotal time in my life where I was starting to stand out for my athletic ability and I was a part of some really good teams with talented young ladies.  This quote helped put things in perspective for me.  My athletic ability was a gift and I had to treasure that gift and use it to my best ability to help out my team.  This quote now pertains to many aspects of my life and I carry it with me daily.

The second one is from my girl Mother Theresa who was an astonishing person and is one of my role models.  The quote goes like this:

“Let no one come to you without leaving happier or better.”


Imagine if we all took that quote to heart how much better the world would be?  We would think twice about what we say to people and how we treat them.  It always goes back to the golden rule “treat others the way you would want to be treated.”
