I love a good inspirational saying. A long while ago if I heard something meaningful or inspiring I’d write it down on a post it note and stick it on my “Meme wall” for inspiration and contemplation later.

After I moved house they ended up in a draw but recently I’ve rediscovered them, typed them all out and I thought I’d share them with you guys.

Undoubtedly you’ve heard some or most of them before, some are my own creation and some are from friends.
