‘Don’t just accept what life brings to you each day as your reality. Instead, decide what you want your life to look like and then go out and make that life a reality’ – unknown
Life is what we make it. Yes, of course, there are things we cannot change, but what we can do is make good choices and make sure we really are ‘the architect of our own life’. I hope you find some of the quotes below helpful or inspiring.

‘Love the life you live. Live the life you love’ – Bob Marley
‘Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great’ – John D Rockefeller
‘Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking’ – Marcus Aurelius
‘You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough!’ – Mae West
‘I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel’ – Maya Angelou
‘This life is what you make it. No matter what, you’re going to mess up sometimes, it’s a universal truth’ – Marilyn Monroe

‘It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not’ – Marilyn Monroe
‘Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself’ – George Bernard Shaw
‘The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for a newer and richer experience’ – Eleanor Roosevelt
Finally, whilst looking for the quotes for this piece, I came across this which is such a simple statement of things we all know but sometimes need to be reminded of. I hope you love it as much as I do!
