As I ponder our nomadic life the past two years, I reflect on how often I searched for good quotes to inspire our LingoHut audience, motivate ourselves to do something risky, or inspire us to try something new.
Are you adventurous? Are you willing to take risks? Do you like to try new things? Do you explore ideas when presented?
A quote can center us when our motivation drifts. Sometimes we need a little push and some fuel to realign our thoughts and actions. Motivational quotes can be a great spring to get us back on track.
