There are two great days in a person's life - the day we are born and the day we discover why. - William Barclay
I started with my new series My Obsession two days ago. I have the need to show you more about me because of all your support in the past weeks. Maybe you recognized that I always put a quote at the end of nearly every post I make. And also for those who follow me on Instagram, they might have seen the quotes in the caption below my Instagram pictures.
I believe that quotes are very powerful and are able to send deep messages to your soul with just a few words. I feel like quotes push the human race forward.
I do not have my top 10 quotes because I havent seen them all. There are always quotes which I didnt read yet but still fascinating me in my way like nothing else could impress me.
I chose 5 different topics to structure the quotes better because there are so many good ones and I need to classify
them
LIFE
Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. - Buddha
This one is very important to understand because the meaning of it is life changing! People use to think, talk and act in the past. But it makes no sense because you can not change what happened in the past. Stay focused for the present and also for the future. Also an important aspect is to focus on the future but to live in the present!
My life motto is 'Do my best, so that I can't blame myself for anything. - Magdalena Neuner
If you never stopped pushing yourself forward and do your best every day, there is no way for blaming yourself because you already did everything you could!
Live life to the fullest, and focus on the positive. - Matt Cameron
Negativity just holds you back from reaching your goals!
Motivational
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me. - Carol Burnett
Enough said.
Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. - Charles R. Swindoll
I truly believe in this quote! Everything happens for a reason but 90% is how you react to it!
Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best. - St. Jerome
As you maybe recognized, this is the quote from my bio here on Steemit. I love pushing myself further and grow everyday. But I wouldnt make any progress if I wouldnt give my best from day to day....
Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. - Og Mandino

Failure
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. - Colin Powell
No one was born with all the information in his/hers head. We need to do mistakes in order to learn from it and grow!
Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness. - Oprah Winfrey
Enough said.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently. - Henry Ford
I love this one a lot! It shows that failure belongs to make any progress. Its like a reset button with all the good informations in your mind!
Nature
Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. - Albert Einstein
Take a moment and really take a deep look into nature.
Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. - Anthony J. D'Angelo
Weather shouldnt ever be an excuse of your bad mood. You can always bring your own sunshine!
So many times, people told me I can't do this or can't do that. My nature is that I don't listen very well. I'm very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don't let anything stand in my way. - Chantal Sutherland
Actually this one speaks out of my soul!
Wisdom

Everything in life starts with the first step!
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see. - Henry David Thoreau
