Hi Everyone,
Happy May, and Happy Mother's Day this weekend to all the mothers, grandmothers, great-grandmothers and aunts out there.
I thought I'd list some of the motivational quotes that I put into my workbook for kids. I think they can work for adults, too, and maybe you'll see one that clicks with you and helps you with your journey. Authors of the quotes are listed when known.

Throughout life we are constantly working on maturing in six areas: personally, emotionally, physically, socially, intellectually and ethically. I tried to find at least one quote that spoke to each of those areas. Do you have a motivational quote that you already refer to from time to time? I'd love to hear what it is. Take good care!
