I n s p i r e
Lance Wubbels is one of my favorite authors. I discovered him through a short book full of inspirational quotes titled, I Wish For You Gentle Reminders to Follow Your Heart. My parents gave me this book when I was 17 after a childhood friend of mine committed suicide. It was definitely a rough time for me so I made a point to read at least one quote each morning before I started my day. I figured I could do the same for you with a selection of my favorite quotes from the book. The pictures in the book are beautiful as well, but all of the photos on this are my own.
I wish for you...
dreams so big that you have to grow into them.
I hope...
that you will always feel fearlessly free to be you.
May your...
greatest joys not be in toys,
may your best things not be things,
and may your riches always be
in the treasury of your heart.
May you...
see sunshine where others see shadows and
opportunities where others see obstacles.
May your...
failures and mistakes be merely steps of learning
on your path to better tomorrows.
I hope...
that you live with the sense of wonder
and openness
and trust
and forgiveness
of a child.
May you...
realize that all great achievements take time,
and when you achieve great things, I hope you
stay humble in heart.
I wish for you...
the inner clarity of light that never allows
a small worry to cast a big shadow.
May you...
always find the sparkle that's hidden in the dreariest of days.
I hope you...
take time to shut your eyes so you can see beyond what you can see.
I hope you...
never allow the music in your soul to fade into silence.
I wish that...
you remain young at heart for as long as you live.
I hope you...
realize that your life is truly your life... it belongs to you.
It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line,
write it well.
