We all want to become the best version of ourselves, to be happy, to help others, to make a difference; we all want to "shine" in some way. Throughout our lives we cultivate dreams and aspirations, nurture hopes, make decisions. Along the way, we may come across just at the right time a profound thought or "wisdom pill" that helps us persevere through difficult times. Such a motto or phrase can determine the course of our existence.In this book we have collected 201 quotes that we hope will become words to treasure and draw inspiration from.
