Favorite quote from a female writer:
We are each responsible for all of our experiences.
Louise Hay
I’m not actually a quote kind of person. I used to look in awe at professors at university and graduate school who could just quote a Shakespearean line or two or three off the top of their heads.
In school, we used to have to memorize a poem or something that ‘inspired’ us. Yet, I always struggled.
It’s not that I am forgetful because I can remember birthdays or numbers or other things that I deem worthy of remembering just fine. However, I’m not a name-dropper and I don’t quote.
One reason is that I am not a sycophant in any way. In fact, I’m probably too cynical for my own good that I do just about anything I can to avoid being a cliche or a juice-drinker of trends whether in words, thoughts, products, etc.
I like to think that it’s what makes me unique, but lately this is something I’m contemplating and perhaps a more in-depth post is to come from it.
For now, this is the quote that suits me well. It encompasses taking responsibility for your own actions and consequences – whether positive or negative – in those actions.
