The Success Diaries - My Thoughts On Quotes

My Thoughts On Quotes

In 2001, I began to write out motivational Quotes to inspire myself. I did this to motivate myself during a time in my life when things were very, very difficult for me. Some kind of way, I found it within myself to develop these Quotes so that I could keep moving forward in my life when things seemed to be the most tumultuous. I used to write them on the white board in one of the conference rooms where I used to work at the time and sometimes they would stay, other times they were erased whether due to a meeting or someone needing to use the board for demonstration purposes. But whatever the case was, I would continue to write them up there.

I didn’t realize the affect the Quotes themselves were having on me and being a graphic artist I began to accompany them with graphics that I had designed and I felt were fitting. I then came up with the name Success Thoughts  because  these  Quotes  reminded  me  of  the  old  Successories memorabilia that was popular back in the 90's. I felt like the Quotes were words of motivation toward a successful mind set, so Success Thoughts was born. I then began to write small blogs at a time when blogging was unheard of. Compiled together in the form of a newsletter, I began to e- mail them out. Then, after having an epiphany, I shut everything down until 2009 and began to write them again, introducing them back to the world through the form of Social Media. At that time, I made a vow to myself that every time I felt depression and despair trying to take a hold of me that I would write something positive that would encourage not only myself but someone else as well.

Throughout the years since then, I have continued to write Quotes (and Blogs) that have literally touched the lives of thousands of people. I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some of those Quotes that have inspired, motivated, and encouraged many a reader, helping to catapult them into their destiny and purpose.
