Some quotes to fire up your job search
Although I'm not the biggest fan of so-called "inspirational quotes", because they don't always deeply feed the soul, sometimes words CAN make a difference if you carry them around in your head and heart for even a short while.
Here are some quotes from a book I'm compiling for those in job search. I hope a few of these - or maybe even several - rekindle your fire today if you need it to.

The thought manifests as the word; the word manifests as the deed; the deed develops into habit; and habit hardens into character; so watch the thought and its ways with care, and let it spring from love born out of concern for all beings… as the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become. —Buddha
