A New Beginning

Filed under: Through the Thoughts of Others — Lindsay @ 10:12 pm

It’s been a while since I’ve wrote and I was not sure how to start again. In my hesitation, I turned to my everlasting source of inspiration, quotes. What draws me back to quotes is that sublime feeling when you read a quote that hits home in a very personal way. It’s almost like someone, whoever, is writing about you. Writing about the experiences you are having or about to embark on. It provides me with an assurance that I am not alone; someone else, somewhere else and at some other time experienced what I am experiencing and was able to immortalize those feelings through eloquent words.

Today, I stumbled across the following quote by Mark Victor Hansen, an American motivational speaker:

“Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

Things might not be perfect, or exactly as I wish they were, but they are pretty damn good and I’m going to leave this experience a better person, and lawyer for that matter. Although I’m sure at times I won’t always feel this way, and perhaps even have a regret or two, it will all be worth it in the end. Most importantly, I’m so thankful to have an understanding boyfriend that supports my dreams unconditionally.
