Welcome to my “Heartland Echoes,” where I aim to share my published poems with the world, along with my survival story and autobiography of childhood abuse, motivational quotes, and much more. Through my words, I hope to inspire others to share their own stories and experiences. Each poem is a piece of my heart and soul, along with a story of a traumatic past, crafted with inspiration, Hope, faith, love and passion. I believe that by sharing our art and emotions, I’ll be able to connect with others on a deeper level and create a sense of community.
Motivational quotes, they can be quite inspiring, right? Someone who comes across it may need to see it at just the right time. I know I have came upon many motivational quotes, phrases, poems, and statements throughout my life time.
I have also came up with my own motivational quotes that have surprisingly shocked me to my core and gave me goose bumps.
So, with that said, I’ll get on with what motivational quote I came up with yesterday.
Yesterday, my husband and I were on our way to the courthouse to renew our tags and I saw two trucks that I liked. So, I say to my husband “Those are nice trucks.”
(By the way, in case you all don’t know, I love trucks!)
Anyways, my husband then goes on to say, “I want a truck so bad.” I then say, “if you ever do get a truck, we outta take it out to go mudding and do 360’s in the mud, that would be so much fun!” 🤩
My husband’s response: “If I ever do get a truck, I’m not going to tear it up by going out mudding.”
My response: 🤦♀️ “Yeah but, trucks are built to handle that type of thing.”
-“You gotta live a little.”
I then say to my husband – YOLO!!
For those who haven’t heard the term: (YOLO)
YOLO – You Only Live Once
Then……..I say, (This is where I came up with my own motivational quote.)
If you can’t live while you are alive, then you aren’t living. – Jenny Frye
Read that again…
In life, we all need and thrive on fun! We are built for speed. We all long for change. We love living on the edge. There is so much more to life than paying bills, living a mundane life, worrying about things that are beyond our control.
We all need to get away, we all need a break from time to time. It’s in our nature.
It’s okay to have fun. It’s okay to live a little. There is so much more out there to enjoy and explore.
If you are just living from day to day in the same boring routine and you find yourself feeling like you are in a twilight zone or some sort of paradox, that’s when you know,
it’s time to get away. It’s time to surround yourself with a change of scenery!
Our problems and life’s adversities are only temporary. Not everyday will bring the same amount of pain and or darkness. There is light on the other side if we strive to reach hard enough for it. By: Jenny Frye
