I have a cork board above my desk with pictures and quotes that I stare at whenever my mind starts to wander, or when I’m on the phone, or thinking about what I might type next. I stare at it a lot. I think quotes are useful (obviously, as I post them frequently) as a reminder of my purpose and a tool of encouragement. Maybe one day I’ll have my own quote that others will quote. That would be nice. I came upon a quotes site and within a few short minutes found a handful I wanted to repost everywhere and figured I should just share the page. The reason I went to the page was because of this one — http://www.livelifehappy.com/

I encourage you to find a few (but don’t waste too much time surfing) that you can put on the fridge or near your computer to remind you of why you are doing what you are doing, or encourage you in your endeavors, or escape your restrictions, whatever it is that you need to do what you want. I even have a couple from a Dove chocolate square and a fortune cookie, but they spoke to me. I have two that I love that contain great messages and helpful tips for something I was once guilty of —
Never Apologize For Your Art!
Your Work Is Not You!
Have a great, productive weekend and best of luck!!
Nice… I have the same at my desk and find it inspires me when I’m simply gazing. Gumby is also among my quotes; a reminder to be flexible 🙂

That’s a good idea! I have a lot of landscapes and castles. I think as writers we need something visual to stimulate our vivid imaginations. Blank walls will never do.
