Words to Win By

To be honest, most of the time I find mantra's or inspirational quotes a little trite and obvious. More often than not they result in an eye roll rather than uplifted spirits. Because I don't need a mantra to lift me up, I need it to cut right through the bullshit and speak to the very core of what I need to hear.  I need words to win by. So when I find something that resonates with me, I write it down, I carry it on my heart, and I pass it on to others whenever possible.
