Working from home has its ups, its downs. Think about it; they're no worse than the ones you've experienced in the outside workplace where office politics regularly dictate high peaks and deep valleys. We all need little (and sometimes big) encouragements to keep our feet on the highway to $uccess. Quotes I've collected are those quick little encouragements that send me back to the page and the work I love. Dorothea Brande ("Wake Up and Live") penned one that quickly became one of my favorites:
"Act as if it were impossible to fail, and it shall be."
She also says, "Be very clear about the success you desire. Act as if you already had it."
Nice thoughts that could fit any situation, but, if you need a little mental prodding to help you arrive at your home workplace, they're powerful enough that they may just move you to do as a writer does---write---and re-charge your ambition for another day.
Do positive encouragements keep you going? Do you write them onto 3x5 index cards when you find ones that stir encouragement in you?
