How I did it: When I started this goal I actually had planned on creating a product from the wisdom I found and shared.
I didn't know I was heading into the most tumultuous phase of my life which spread out across about a year and a half. I was committed to posting a quote a day on a regular basis and tried not to post more than one quote at a time because I wanted each quote to have meaning, personal meaning, for me.
I didn't want to just collect quotes and throw them onto a list, I wanted to thoughtfully collect quotes that had relevancy in my life and hopefully in others lives, too.
I came back in here today because I found a quote from one of my favorite thinkers I just had to share... and that's how my quote collection grew from 1 to 365.
Words I simply had to share.
Maybe I will collect 365 more quotes, starting on my birthday or something like that. It is definitely something to consider!
Lessons & tips: 1. Carry a small notebook so you can write quotes you find in surprising places when you are "out and about" living your life. Coffee houses, friends' books, the sides of buses, billboards - all have quote gold.
2. Aim for more than 365 quotes.
3. Use this goal to change your life - so let go of the need for quote speed. Instead, go for depth and significance.
4. Use special holidays to help you find less common quotes. During Women's History month, for example, I only used quotes from Women. For a while I was focusing on quotes from folks whose birthday was that day. (Found those on a history website, can't remember the name.)
5. Expand your creativity. We all have favorite quotes, but stretch your reach into less familiar zones.

Poetry by Rainer Rilke, Rumi, Teresa of Avila
It involves many things, but above all the power of going out of one’s self and appreciating what is noble and loving in another.
– Thomas Hughes
“The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living.”
– Walter Rauschbusch
Feeling Hopeful wonders why the titles of many of my entries lately have been numbers.
When the world says, “Give up,”
Hope whispers, “Try it one more time.”
