Each morning at my present company, we have a practice of ending our daily meeting with a quote. These are typically business or leadership related but not always. Sometimes we mix it up a bit to keep things interesting or just to open up the floor to other offerings. I believe that this is a good practice as a whole and our team leaves the meeting with a message that is hopefully inspiring or at least thought provoking. In my opinion, some of these are worth retaining and repeating. Below are some of the quotes I like. I’ll add periodically so check back or bookmark this page.

First forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.
Octavia Butler
Always be a first rate version of yourself, not a second rate version of someone else.
