I love quotes, who doesn’t?
Personally, I like the deep, dark and philosophical kind that gets me thinking about the possibilities and pitfalls of life.
I have so many quotes across my note-taking apps that I could probably publish a book just full of them. Most of these end up in an edition of my weekly newsletter at some point.
Here’s 10 that I like to share often ⬇️
“True happiness beats in your chest. Work out what you like to do best and try to do more of that. Don’t torture yourself pondering the purpose of life. It’s here, it’s now & it won’t last forever, so enjoy it.”
An old mentor
