This month we’ve been talking about success, failure, setting goals and dreaming big. We should all have big dreams to pursue, life should be interesting and more than just clocking in and clocking out. What is the point of life if not to try to reach for the stars?
Reaching for the stars can be scary sometimes. As a psychotherapist in San Francisco, I see on a fairly regular basis individuals and couples who are reaching for the stars, but get stuck sometimes and need a little extra motivation. These inspiring quotes for when you need a little motivation can be just the thing to keep you on track or get you fired up about your dreams. If you have any you’d like to share feel free to do so in the comments.
