@ dreaming by dusk
I thought I’d take it easy this week with one of my favourite things in the world to do. A roundup of some of my favourite quotes.
Since I’ve been focusing on other projects in my life outside of this blog, I’ve been reading up on a lot of content that will inspire confidence, determination and self-love.
These are feelings I want to evoke every day as I work to achieve everything I set my eyes on, in all areas of my life.
So, I’m back again with collection of deep and meaningful quotes. The ones I’ve collected all evoke different ideas of loving yourself, going after your dreams, and gaining self-confidence.
Stay here to read a diverse range of inspiring, motivational quotes. I challenge you to pick your favourite and make it your affirmation for a day, a week, or a month in 2020.
