The world has seen some great thinkers, some have left us, some are alive today and some will still join us; these are some of their encouraging words.

 

Global (06 January 2022) – We have declared that this year is the year of intention and we intend on making it a good one. At the start of each year, as part of a self-care routine, a diary is purchased and filled with all the good things happening in the year.

These good things include loved ones’ birthdays, public holidays, holiday plans, important dates and anniversaries, and inspiring quotes.

We make a selection of quotes and at random, add them to the diary on various days. Scattering them out means you get inspiring surprises throughout the year.

You can be having a terrible day, open your diary to add a meeting you have been dreading and stumble onto a quote that you penned in when you were feeling hopeful and positive about the year. These nuggets of goodness have helped on many occasions.

We decided to share some of the quotes we plan to use in this year’s diary. If you are not a pen and paper kind of person, you can add them as notes on your phone’s calendar and every now and then, get an inspiring ping to your phone.

Your future self will thank you for this thoughtful gift.
