As we head into a new year, many of us look towards a fresh start and reflect on the year that was. I’m personally feeling optimistic for 2022. Hopeful for the world and for my own next steps along the path.
And honestly, whenever I read quotes I feel inspired, more positive, and determined to live life to the fullest!
As we rest, spend time with family and friends and reflect on how we want to make changes in our lives, here are a mixture of quotes from past and present to stay positive in these changing times.
