Quotes by Sheri Fink
Sheri Fink's insights on:
When deciding whether or not to go for your dream, remember that you don't need a bigger net, you just need bigger wings.
Don't be anyone's firefly in a jar! A lot of people are attracted to the light. Some are also intimidated by it. They selfishly try to keep it for themselves. Sometimes it happens so fast, you don't even realize you're being captured. There is magic within you that will suffocate in a jar. If you wake up one morning and realize there's a lid above you, do whatever it takes to free yourself. Life is much better beyond the jar. The world needs your light! Shine, Baby, shine!
Always be open to inspiration. You never know where it may come from. Begin with an open mind, end with an inspired heart.
Just like the Little Seahorse, you can choose to be courageous. Always speak up for what you want, even if you feel nervous asking for help. When you are brave and ask for assistance, you have the opportunity to make new friends. The world becomes a happier and friendlier place for everyone.
Just like the Little Rose, you are unique, special, and beautiful. Seek friends who appreciate you for who you really are and encourage you to be your best; it is in those environments where you will truly bloom and grow.
Just like the Little Unicorn, you can create magic when you believe in yourself and cherish your friends. Your sparkle is always within you and shines brightest when you spread love, joy, and kindness. Never let anything dim your sparkle.
If you know that you’re meant to change something in your life, get to work changing it. Get so busy doing the “right” things that you don’t have time to do the “wrong” things anymore.
The better we become about determining our top priorities and setting boundaries to protect them, the greater potential we’ll have for achieving our dreams.
Your life is so precious. Don’t waste it seeking other people’s approval or permission to pursue your dreams.
