I’ve been on a bit of a quote kick lately if you’ve been following me on Facebook or Twitter. Something about an inspirational quote just seems to make me stop and think for a moment. It makes me smile and encourages me almost instantly. I have also found that I prefer short quotes because they are easier for me to remember so that I can repeat them to myself during the day.
All these quotes are Pinterest Ready so that you can pin them to your favorite board.
Be willing to be a beginner every single morning. -Meister Eckhart
Somewhere along the way, it became “uncool” to say that you don’t know something. Somewhere along the way, everyone decided that they needed to be an expert on day 1. There are several flaws with that thinking. For starters, you LEARN more when you come with an empty cup. It’s ok to not know everything. Learning is a lifelong process. Additionally, when you start with the attitude of being a beginner it keeps you humble. No one likes a know-it-all.
You will find that people have much more respect when you let your accomplishments do the talking and when you let others do the bragging. Waking up with the attitude of being a beginner every single morning allows you room to take advantage of opportunities for growth. This short inspirational quote may very well find it’s way to my freebie library in the form of a backdrop for both of us.

Do One Thing Every Day That Scares You. -Eleanor Roosevelt
Of all the short inspirational quotes in the collection, this one is probably the most difficult for me to do and the bravest one. It can be hard to do something that scares you. New things are intimidating and getting out of your comfort zone can seem daunting. However, when you start doing things that scare you, that’s when you start growing. The more you stretch your comfort zone, the more success you will find yourself having. That in turn, builds up your confidence.
