Growing up, it seemed like everyone around me responded to any life situation with a quote or a proverb. We called them “refranes” and they carried in them wise advice, fair warnings, or friendly reminders. These quotes helped me understand life and many of them helped build my character.
And then, one fine day, while going through other people’s trash in the landfill behind our home, I fell in love with Reader’s Digest magazine. There was a section called “Citas Citables” (Quotable Quotes), which introduced me to quotes from the most brilliant minds across history and the most notable people across the world.
I was fascinated. I had always wanted to learn how these people thought, because, as young as I was, deep inside, I wanted to grow up to be like them someday!
I started collecting quotes and feeding my mind with them. I would write them in every spare room I had in my notebooks, and even in my Bible! A girl’s gotta do what she’s gotta do!
Quotes help us all learn complex principles in a simple way. I love them so much that I started to write my own.
But they’re not my own, even though I thought, felt, and said them. They are quotes by The Positive MOM, the part of me who consciously gets access to her Higher Power.
