book of inspiration

when steve & i were dating, i made him a little book of inspiration [with the core of the book ordered from a shop on etsy]. its since become a joke between us because i went on to make him a handful of little books. obviously more of a girl thing than a guy thing. what can i say, i love me some good quotes and didn't realize how carried away i got ;o). i came across the book recently and was happy to note that the little book of inspiration was quite inspiring! here are a few favorites...and i didn't record all authors so please comment if you know who they belong to.

CAT'S LET NOTHING DARKEN THEIR ROAR.

CREATIVITY IS A DRUG I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT. -cecil b. demille

SEE YOURSELF AS ORIGINAL. INSPIRED. IMAGINATIVE. THEN UNLEASH THE CREATIVITY WITHIN YOU.

TO LIVE A CREATIVE LIFE, WE MUST LOSE OUR FEAR OF BEING WRONG. -joseph chilton pearce

BOLDNESS HAS GENIUS MAGIC AND POWER IN IT. -goethe

THE WHOLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSTRUCTION AND CREATION IS EXACTLY THIS: THAT A THING CONSTRUCTED CAN ONLY BE LOVED AFTER IT IS CONSTRUCTED, BUT A THING CREATED IS LOVED BEFORE IT EXISTS. -charles dickens

THE SUCCESS YOU SEEK IS A REALITY THAT ALREADY EXISTS WITHIN YOU.

ACHIEVEMENT IS FOLLOWING THE DESIRES OF YOUR MOST AUTHENTIC SELF.

DIVE INTO THE PURE JOY OF BEING YOU. FOR THERE IS SO VERY MUCH YOU ARE ABLE TO BE AND TO GIVE.

FILL YOUR MOMENTS WITH SINCERE EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE, GRATITUDE, AND CREATIVITY. GIVE YOUR POWER TO THE VERY BEST THINGS YOU CAN IMAGINE.

THERE IS AN INNATE AND ELEGANT BEAUTY IN EVEN THE MOST ORDINARY OF THINGS.

BY CHOOSING YOUR FOCUS, YOU CHOOSE YOUR LIFESTYLE, THE WORLD AROUND YOU, AND YOUR FUTURE. FOCUS ON WHAT IS TRULY GOOD AND RIGHT FOR YOU AND YOU WILL BE GLORIOUSLY IMMERSED IN THAT GOODNESS.

TRUE PURPOSE HAS NO TIME LIMIT. TRUE PURPOSE HAS NO DEADLINE.

THE CREATION OF SOMETHING NEW IS NOT ACCOMPLISHED BY THE INTELLECT BUT BY THE PLAY INSTINCT ACTING FROM INNER NECESSITY. THE CREATIVE MIND PLAYS WITH THE OBJECTS IT LOVES. -carl jung

ABUNDANCE IS NOT SOMETHING WE ACQUIRE. IT IS SOMETHING WE TUNE INTO.

ONCE WE BELIEVE IN OURSELVES, WE CAN RISK CURIOSITY, WONDER, SPONTANEOUS DELIGHT, OR ANY EXPERIENCE THAT REVEALS THE HUMAN SPIRIT. -e.e. cummings

THE MORE THINGS YOU SEE, THE MORE IDEAS YOU HAVE.

do you have any to add to the list?
