12 Quotes to inspire, motivate and move you!

I love inspirational quotes! Not only are they filled with incredible wisdom but they also have the ability to immediately shift your focus and thinking.

However that alone is not enough to change your life. You need to also change your behaviours.  Without taking action to do things differently and show up differently, they really then are not that useful.

My challenge to you is to not only read the following quotes but identify which resonate with you the most and then make a decision to consciously and consistently change your actions and behaviors accordingly.

To support you in this process I have created a a question in response to each quote. My hope it that these questions will direct you towards your next best action and as a result help you move closer to achieving what you most want in your life.

In no particular order, here are, what I believe, 12 very impactful quotes:
