My Obsession - Quotes

There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why. - William Barclay

I started with my new series My Obsession two days ago. I have the need to show you more about me because of all your support in the past weeks. Maybe you recognized that I always put a quote at the end of nearly every post I make. And also for those who follow me on Instagram, they might have seen the quotes in the caption below my Instagram pictures.

I believe that quotes are very powerful and are able to send deep messages to your soul with just a few words. I feel like quotes push the human race forward.

I do not have my top 10 quotes because I havent seen them all. There are always quotes which I didnt read yet but still fascinating me in my way like nothing else could impress me.

I chose 5 different topics to structure the quotes better because there are so many good ones and I need to classify

them

LIFE

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. - Buddha

This one is very important to understand because the meaning of it is life changing! People use to think, talk and act in the past. But it makes no sense because you can not change what happened in the past. Stay focused for the present and also for the future. Also an important aspect is to focus on the future but to live in the present!

If you never stopped pushing yourself forward and do your best every day, there is no way for blaming yourself because you already did everything you could!

I truly believe in this quote! Everything happens for a reason but 90% is how you react to it!

Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best. - St. Jerome

As you maybe recognized, this is the quote from my bio here on Steemit. I love pushing myself further and grow everyday. But I wouldnt make any progress if I wouldnt give my best from day to day....

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. - Og Mandino

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. - Colin Powell

I love this one a lot! It shows that failure belongs to make any progress. Its like a reset button with all the good informations in your mind!

Nature

So many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen very well. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don't let anything stand in my way. - Chantal Sutherland

Actually this one speaks out of my soul!
