Sometimes simple is better. I believe today is one of those days.
I believe every day can be one of those days if we allow them to be!
Today, I simply want to share with you ten quotes from movies that I have come across over the last few years.
These are offered to you in no particular order. Each of them has struck me and inspired me for different reasons and at different levels.
Enjoy and be inspired:

Good stuff – some of it strikes me right in the heart.
While I appreciate all of them on different levels, I feel obligated to let you know that Edna Mode was in The Incredibles. Don’t get me wrong, she is fierce and would have also made a great boxing coach. But, I know my Disney now (thank you 3-yr-old daughter) and would hate for you to lead any faithful followers astray. All that said, keep up the great work!
