20 Quotes for 2017: What’s Your Habit?

Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2017!

Are you ready for the adventures 2017 will bring?  I am.  No matter what the new year throws at you, remember two things:

1.  Today you are alive.
2.  Today you can start something.

Of the two things above, one you must be thankful for and the other should be done.  Start something.  Or keep doing something right.  If nothing comes to mind easily, why not consider starting a new habit?

Habit of Thankfulness:

1. “If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness.  It will change your life mightily.” – Gerald Good
2. “Make it a habit to tell people thank you.  To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return.  Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you.  Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.” – Ralph Marston
3. “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” – Melody Beattie
4. “Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining – it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn’t solve any problems.” – Zig Ziglar

 

Habit of Letting Go:

1. “In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.” – Deepak Chopra
2. “To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.” – Jack Kornfield
3. “Don’t dwell on what went wrong.  Instead, focus on what to do next.  Spend your energy moving forward together towards an answer.” – Denis Waitley
4. “Renew, release, let go.  Yesterday’s gone.  There’s nothing you can do to bring it back.  You can’t “should’ve” done something.  You can only DO something.  Renew yourself. Release that attachment.  Today is a new day!” – Steve Maraboli

Habit of Financial Wisdom:

1.  “Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don’t want..to impress people that they don’t like.” – Will Rogers
2. “Financial peace isn’t the acquisition of stuff.  It’s learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest.  You can’t win until you do this.” – Dave Ramsey
3. “How many millionaires do you know who have become wealthy by investing in savings accounts?  I rest my case.” – Robert G. Allen
