I stumbled across a couple quotes today and I just want to share them with y’all 
When you change everything, everything changes.
The first drink is the worst drink.
I can’t, We can.
Every day may not be great but there is something great in every day
@Singtone referenced this one a couple months ago and it has become my favorite!
“No matter how far down the road we go, we are always the same distance from the gutter”
I think it’s humbling, cautious, and realistic.
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s decision of your life; define yourself.” -Harvey Fierstein
“We’re all born naked; and the rest is drag” -Rupaul
“Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands?” - Ernest J. Gaines
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I’m changing the things I cannot accept.” -Angela Davis
Everyday is a chance at a fresh start
Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind
Nothing changes if nothing changes
Good days give you happiness. Bad days give you experience
Life has no remote get up and change it yourself
Keep away from people who belittle your ambitions , small people always do that but the really great make you feel that you too can become great
Mark twain
“I used to be disgusted,
Now I try to be amused”. - Elvis Costello
The album “My Aim is True” brings back fond high school memories. I had a girlfriend who said “Angels Want to Wear My Red Shoes” always reminded her of me.
Not a happy one, but important in my opinion.
Everything is only for a day, both that which remembers and that which is remembered.
"Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the universe loves nothing so much as to change things which are and to make new things like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the seed of that which will be.
“Marcus Aurelius
Never accept criticism from someone you wouldn’t go to for advice.
The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones." -Confucius
“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” -James Baldwin
Nothing is written.
The precious moments of life are too rare, too valuable to be forgotten when they have passed; we should hoard them as a miser hoards his gold, and bring them to light and rejoice over them often. We should all of us have a treasury of happy memories to sustain us when life is unbearably cruel, to brighten the gloom a little, to be stars shining through the darkness.
Alfred Wainwright
You were made to soar, to crash to earth, then to rise and soar again.
Alfred Wainwright again.
The man knew things 
Paraphrasing something a therapist told me:
Every “should” is an echo of someone else’s expectations.
Some others I like:
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
J R R Tolkien
It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it’s called Life.
Terry Pratchett
“The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.”

Heard on podcast and when I look it up in seems to have no OG person that said that so it says unknown…
What I get from this is that you can’t wait to feel motivated or great or even good to do something. You have to push through the uncomfortable feelings sometimes and once you gain momentum then the motivation or endurance comes later. Sometimes you have to work for the good dopamine feelings and they don’t come right away but they do come.
Also looking back on my life a lot of my anxiety or problems came from not doing the things in my life that I needed to do.. especially if it was difficult tasks or things I considered not fun then these unfinished tasks would pile up and turn into bigger problems.
Another thing I get from this quote or how I can compare to my life is that some of the songs I recorded or paintings/ writings I did or anything like that some of my favorite pieces or things Im the most proud about are the ones I had to force myself to get off the couch. Those are the days I didn’t feel like doing anything but I waited for the spark as I worked and the momentum came little by little. Can’t wait to feel inspired.
Peace of mind for me these days is having everything checked off on my to do list and nothing forgotten about. That is true freedom.
„You can have a kind heart and still tell people to fuck off. It‘s called boundaries.“
Mel Robbins
The largest room in the world is the room for improvement!
Heard it at a meeting and it really stuck with me!
