I recently discovered the book, "Brave Enough," by Cheryl Strayed, and let me tell you, it's a must-have. If you don't know who she is, Cheryl Strayed is an American memoirist, novelist and essayist and is the author of, "Wild," "Tiny Beautiful Things," "Torch" and "Brave Enough." (I haven't check out the other three yet, but they are definitely on my list.) "Brave Enough" is not your typical novel, but rather a book of quotes that Cheryl has collected over the years. Seriously, if you're a quote lover like I am, you need this book; it's amazing! I absolutely love having quotes to read whenever I want, and that's exactly why I bought this book. It's tiny and lightweight, so you can carry it with you wherever you go. To show you all how wonderful this book is, I've decided to pick 11 of my favorite quotes, which definitely wasn't easy with more than 100 to choose from. You'll definitely want to purchase this book after reading these quotes, so I'll attach the link at the bottom. Enjoy!

1. "Nobody's going to do your life for you. You have to do it yourself, whether you're rich or poor, out of money or raking it in, the beneficiary of ridiculous fortune or terrible injustice. And you have to do it no matter what is true. No matter what is hard. No matter what unjust, sad, sucky things have befallen you. Self-pity is a dead-end road. You make the choice to drive down it. It's up to you to decide to stay parked there or to turn around and drive out."

2. "I considered my options. There was only one, I knew. There was always only one. To keep walking."

3. "You will learn a lot from yourself if you stretch in the direction of goodness, of bigness, of kindness, of forgiveness, of emotional bravery. Be a warrior for love."

4. "Ask yourself: What is the best I can do? And then do that."

5. "How wild it was, to let it be."

6. "Every last one of us can do better than give up."

7. "Love is our essential nutrient. Without it, life has little meaning. It's the best thing we have to give and the most valuable thing we receive. It's worthy of all the hullabaloo."

8. "I'll never know and neither will you about the life you didn't choose. We'll only know that whatever that sister life was, it was important and beautiful and not ours. It was the ghost ship that didn't carry us. There's nothing to do but salute it from the shore."

9. "Vulnerability is strength."

10. "This is not how your story ends. It's simply where it takes a turn you didn't expect."

11. "Be about ten times more magnanimous than you believe yourself capable of being. Your life will be a hundred times better for it."
