Quotes to Inspire

I'm a big believer in the philosophy of "everything happens for a reason". You might not know at the time of x event but looking back a week, a month, or a year later, I find you can always pinpoint a reason as to why x had to happen or y couldn't have. I keep a board on Pinterest (follow me here) with all my favorite quotes. I was reading through them the other day and noticed they all kind of followed the theme of "everything happens for a reason". I also noticed I seem to pin a lot of self-motivating quotes, I think this is because I am a big believer that nothing is handed to us and with hard work, you can achieve anything. Beyond all that and most importantly, I am a huge believer in never taking a day for granted and appreciating small moments. I have rounded up a few of my favorite quotes from Pinterest to share with you today. All images can be found on my "quotes to inspire" board, here.  What is your favorite quote?
