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 25 – Y

“You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”

This is so true. Achieving anything big requires courage – the courage to leave behind the safe and the mundane. The courage to say yes, this is going to happen. And that often means losing sight of the shore. You can drown or can float – it all depends on your view of things. Embrace the positives and let the negatives go – they are a weight that will pull you down.

It means that you will have no safety net, no easy way out, but the end result, crossing that ocean, will make it worthwhile, because the feeling you get when you reach the other side and start living the dream will outweigh the feeling of drowning as you made your way across.

Do you have the courage to cross the ocean? How did you know the time was right for you? Let me know in the comments 🙂

Don’t forget to check back every Monday to Saturday to see the next motivational quote!
