Feel Inspired

Inspirational quotes. You can get them on mugs, coasters, key rings, bookmarks, almost anywhere these days. Personally, I’m getting a bit bored of “You only live once” and “Happiness is wanting what you have, not having what you want”. With that in mind, I asked a bunch of people what the best advice they’ve ever received was, or what advice they would give to someone if they needed it. So take a look at the responses, you might be inspired. “You only live once” after all:

“Let it go and be happier, treat yourself well so you can do the same to others.” Yliana Paolini
