Quotes to Live By

chrissarcletti

Over the years, I've delved into a variety of self-help books and, more recently, I've begun subscribing to digital subscriptions from authors like James Clear, Jeff Kober and Ryan Holiday. These authors often share weekly insights via email, offering valuable tips and perspectives aligned with their philosophies. Despite the abundance of options, I typically limit my subscriptions to no more than 3, ensuring I can fully absorb and apply the learnings without feeling overwhelmed.


For over 15 years, I've maintained a document brimming with quotes that resonate deeply with me, serving as a well of inspiration and guidance. Over the years, this has proved to be a useful resource to me when I need a little inspiration, am looking to offer some encouragement to a friend or just need to check myself and see if I am at least making an honest effort to live up to these principles. I view all these authors as mentors who have significantly contributed to my personal growth and development.


In this post, I'm excited to share 20 or so quotes that have profoundly impacted me, serving as constant reminders of my values and aspirations. Additionally, please note that you'll always find three inspirational quotes featured at the bottom of the home page on the See, Live, Eat website, a space I periodically refresh to offer new sources of motivation.
