Welcome back to Renew Inspiration! Let’s welcome August in with a focus on improving our mind, body, and spirit. Today, I want to discuss the importance of reading life changing quotes with a purpose.

I don’t know about you, but I love to encourage myself by not only reading quotes, but also reciting the words during difficult times. If you allow the words to resonate in your spirit, you will become the words that you read and speak. Sometimes it is important to read and recite the quotes over and over. Many people like to memorize quotes as well just like scripture. What’s important is that you find what works for you and do it on a regular basis to receive life changing results which is your purpose.

I am present within myself. I can center myself with the ease of my breath. I feel grounded, confident, worthy, and whole. – Unknown Author
