April is here again and it’s time for this year’s A to Z Challenge. This year, my theme is motivational quotes. Each 
Monday to Saturday throughout April I will be posting a motivational quote each day starting with the letters A through to Z.
It’s traditional through the challenge to keep posts short and sweet, so that’s what I’ll be doing. Just a quick explanation of why I chose each quote and what it means to me.
Day 2 – B
“Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your soul on fire”
I love this one. It gives me goose bumps!
We all have something, at least one thing, that lights us up even thinking about it. For me, that something is writing. For others it could be anything – art, designing, crafts with the kids, cooking – the possibilities are literally endless.
But once you find that something that lights you up, that something you could do and talk about every day for the rest of your life without getting bored of it, then you have a responsibility to yourself to pursue it.
By doing so, you have the opportunity to live every day doing something that makes you happy – and what more could anyone really ask for?
What sets your soul on fire? Are you in active pursuit of doing it every day? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Don’t forget to check back every Monday to Saturday to see the next motivational quote!

LOVE this….thank you for sharing,….
Another great choice. You really picked a terrific challenge theme.
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it 🙂
I love sewing. My blog is based on that – particularly quilting but also small items. I am not into clothes though – I did sew for myself for a good while but not any more. My family have give up asking who or what a quilt is for because I often don’t know – it was a pattern I wanted to try or an idea I had. The quilts usually find a home. They don’t give me quilt related presents for birthday or Christmas though. They say I have enough… and they don’t know what to buy me. So I have given up asking for it and buy it myself.
I think it would be fun just going with the flow and finding a home for it once you know who it would suit! Lol at least if you buy it yourself, you get the right stuff!
What makes me fearless is my writing 🙂 Agree that we must pursue what we love without fear and everything else will follow.
I love writing – it can take you to a whole new world!
Great quote! Indeed, when you approach life with this attitude, magic happens 🙂
I totally agree 🙂
Writing. Gardening. Those are two things that I truly enjoy. Great post. Thanks for sharing!
Super quote. Happy A to Z ing.
Thank you 🙂
Very nice…short crisp and a beautiful message…I like your style. I also love writing !
Thank you 🙂
I love the sentiment of this quote – I just don’t have one specific thing that sets me on fire – I’m a bit more diverse (a little bit of this and a little bit of that keeps me happy).
Leanne
That can be a good thing – it keeps things interesting!
I’m like Leanne (above). No single specific, burning passion. Although I often wish I did. I personify the old cliche “Jack of all trades, master of none”.
Cooking and eating. Writing. Knitting and craft. Reading and researching. Singing.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that – as long as you’re happy with what you do, you’re winning!
That’s true. There is always a creative side to everybody that makes you sit in the middle of night and finish up. For me, it is writing. I get ideas anytime-anywhere
Me too – and if you don’t at least get the gist of down straight away, it ends up gone!
Great quote and great reasoning! Love it.
Thank you 🙂
Excellent quote, very thought-provoking.
Writing has become my burning pursuit. Not just the creation of sentences and stories, though. I love the research, the discussions, the critiques, even (don’t laugh) the edits! Mystery is my genre but I also like writing poetry (mixed emotions led to two AtoZ blogsites this year!)
Thank you 🙂 I agree on everything about the writing (except editing which I hate). Doing the challenge on two blogs is more than just a challenge, it’s a marathon!
A short yet very meaningful post… I like doing anything creative… that includes writing,cooking, craft work, designing crossword puzzles for my kids etc…. When i started reading this post though i got reminded of a Tom and Jerry cartoon where Tom sees a beautiful female cat, dresses up like a cowboy grabs a guitar and starts singing to her ” you set my soul on fire ”
I love Tom and Jerry! Creating crossword puzzles sounds like a lot of fun
Awesome post! If not for the thing that one’s soul crave … what would be the purpose in life. Happiness, the thing we seek in like is what keeps us going or as Aristotle would have called it eudaimonia.
Thanks far sharing this motivating post. 🙂
Best Wishes!
Exactly – we’d just wander around aimlessly! Thank you 🙂
Adventures really put me on fire? How do I do new adventures often?
But the quote is truly giving you a push kinds!
Cheers
Travel! Always new adventures to be had that way
Nice thoughts 🙂
What sets me on fire?? Well…we have one life to love and explore…so fret not – live life unabashed!
Yes to that!
What i required the most today.. Thanks for re-iterating ..
Glad to have helped 🙂
Have you ever heard Hozier’s song ‘Arsonist’s Lullabye?’ It’s about the exact same thing! One of my favorite songs.
No, but I’m going to look it up now!
Great quote! You really captured that feeling well too.
Thank you 🙂
Hm. Quite honestly, I don’t think there’s anything in my life that really sets my soul on fire, sad to say.
There is – you just haven’t found it yet!
YEAH!
If you can find that thing that sets your soul on fire, I think being fearless in pursuit of it often comes naturally. The challenge is finding that thing.
Yes, sometimes you have to do a bit of trial and error to find that thing!
You’re right!
This one causes goosebumps! Love the quote!
For me my passion is baking and cake decorating! I love it. It ignites something in me!
In fact, that’s my awesome theme this year for the A to Z too! 🙂

It’s so amazing when you find that one thing isn’t it!
I’m in active pursuit of a full-time fiction career, but if someone offered me unlimited funds to just sit on the beach and read, I’d probably be fine with that for the next gazillion years or so…
Oh me too – that sounds like heaven!
loved your theme.. quotes are always something i really enjoy reading.. and love this quote of yours today.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Fantastic quote choice. Our souls are set on fire by helping our fellow writers at every stage of their journey. You have a great theme here.
Thank you 🙂 That’s a really great thing to do!
Love this challenge.
Was going to go with writing too but honestly my grandchildren set my soul on fire more. But writing is second 🙂

and I would add let it grow! Great quote. For me acting, writing, photography, cooking, singing, reading and nature. #BloggersClubUK
What a great idea and a lovely quote! My writing sets me alight too, as do my children 🙂 #BloggerClubUK
Yes! For me it is writing!!! I could do it ALL DAY AND NIGHT!!!!
LOVE your blog!!!!
Thank you 🙂
Thank you for encouraging all the creatives out there, myself included!
Great quote – pursue what you love, release the fear and dream big! #bloggerclubuk
Hi, great quote and great reasoning. It’s prompted me into thinking about what new activity I can take up #bloggerclubuk
This is serendipity on two levels. I was trying to find a partcular A-Z post I’d seen a few weeks ago, for inclusion in my latest blog stars. I googled it to no avail but instead saw loads of April A-Z posts and thought ‘what are they?’. Now here is yours! Secondly, I need to be constantly reminded of what you’ve mentioned; my blog confidence is on a constant nose-dive every day! #bloggerclubuk
Lol April is a bad time to Google A to Z if you’re looking for something specific!
I love this quote. Apart form my son, photography sets my soul on fire, although I rarely have time to get the big camera out. When I do I am usually very happy with the results. #BloogerClubUK
It is better to be brave and follow your heart than regret not trying later on, great challenge, I hope to take part next year: do you pick your own topic? #bloggerclubuk
Yes, you can either choose a theme to stick to, or just write about anything you want as long as the days match the letters. It’s a great challenge 🙂
What a great quote and a fab idea for a monthly challenge! I love it! #BloggerClubUK
I’m always in awe of your A – Z challenges I don’t know how you can think of new things for each letter! I do love this year’s theme. This quote is gorgeous & really motivational!! x
Some of the letters are hard that’s for sure but it’s a really fun challenge. Thank you 🙂 x
Nice quote, and I like the context you added to it. There are really two things that light my soul on fire. The first is writing, specifically writing fiction. The second is science, especially space exploration. Now if only there were some sort of combination of those two things… some sort of “science fiction,” if you will.
Haha double whammy there then!!
Popping in again! Love this series! #bloggerclubuk
Thank you, I’m glad you’re enjoying it!
