Life Lessons Quote by Jodi Picoult — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“What would you do if you only had one day left in this world? Spend it with the people you love? Travel to the far corners of the earth to see as many wonders as possible? Eat nothing but chocolate? Would you apologize for all your mistakes? Would you stand up to those you'd never had the courage to face? Would you tell your secret crush that you loved him or her? Why is it that we wait till the last minute to do the things we should be doing all along?”

“If she spoke, she would tell him the truth: she was not okay at all, but horribly empty, now that she knew what it was like to be filled.”

“Most successful people began with a small idea, which later evolved into great organizations. Your idea may be the key to making a lasting impact on nations. Never underestimate it.”

“Train your mind to see the Hand of God beyond the closed door.”

“Be conscious of what you think and shield your mind from negativity. Negativity can be toxic, and it can hold you back from attaining your dreams.”

“A closed door that is not good is still better than an open door that is worse. Do not doubt yourself just because a door was slammed.”

“Show up and knock at the right door. One day, it will open for sure.”
