“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending”

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” and “Fell down 9, got up 10”. Both are relevant to my life because no matter what my past is, no matter how many struggles I have been through, today I have the ability to change everything. I am not my past. I am not my mistakes. I am who I am today and have the strength and courage to make my future and direction a positive one despite any limitations or struggles. - Robyn Matarazzo

"You are never gonna keep me down…”

"You are never gonna keep me down…” The lyrics from this song really resonate with my life quote of keep rolling with the punches. Especially when I was first starting my company. I got hit with many challenges daily where I didn’t know how to make the right decision. So, I learned to get up again. No matter how many times I got “knocked down,” I always got up again. - Elizabeth Gerbel

"Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment."

Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment. — Rita Mae Brown. It’s not that I have ever been afraid of making mistakes, but others SEEING ME make mistakes. It wasn’t until I realized that it was all of my missteps, both seen and unseen, that taught me to be discerning. That I must either slow down, or take a chance. It was then that my confidence flourished and I became proud of the experiences I’ve had, even the tough ones. - Trivinia Barber

"There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done"

The Beatles have a song that starts “There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done and goes on to say “there’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be. It’s easy,” before the resounding familiar chorus, “all you need is love,” chips in. That all you need is love message is pretty powerful, though of course we all need a little more than that to get through real life…so when you need a little push and a little inspiration to push through, do what I do and remember that line “nothing you can do that can’t be done…” and remind yourself you can totally do it! - Tracy Lamourie

“Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts"

My brilliant daughter includes this quote in her signature on all her emails — “Success is not final; failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” — Winston Churchill. This quote encapsulates not only my professional career, but much of my early adulthood. I was faced with so many obstacles such as being a single parent, having to work two jobs and debilitating back issues. I could have easily given up. I know that my perseverance to always push through, work hard and strive to be better in the face of failure has served me well throughout my life. - Gina Pomponi

“I think one of the most courageous things a person can do is walk away from a situation that is no longer meant for them, no matter how much they wish it was.”

“I think one of the most courageous things a person can do is walk away from a situation that is no longer meant for them, no matter how much they wish it was.” I have read this quote on a daily basis when I have had to make some of the hardest decisions in my life, be it personal or professional — it has helped me take leaps of faith I have needed at some of the biggest life changing moments of my life — be it moving countries, ending relationships, or letting go of business ideas that were not coming to fruition the way I had envisaged. - Kara Landau

"You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in"

"You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. you are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colours fill your mind." I think we often forget that everything and everyone shapes who we are as humans, as leaders, as parents and role models. The smallest things as well as the bigger, the quiet moments and the larger than life moments. It all feeds us. And we are fed, we model out to others. Everything, everything has meaning. - Charlotte Hale
