Writing quotes are as simple as reading them. Many people find quotes to be inspiring, but never want to create any of their own. Living life helps one to write quotes with the power and influence to make others happy. Why not take the time to prepare quotes? Helping another to realize their dream is just as rewarding as going after you own.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things you'll need:
  • open mind
  • creative writing abilities
  • willingness to inspire people
  • empty journal
  • pen
1 Write down your challenges, obstacles, and any hardships that may have
plagued your life such as life experiences. Think about the process of writing
quotes like singing the Blues. Once you have you have your mind working as
the same tune as your personal life experiences, then you can move onto the
next step.

2 Dedicate a journal, composition notebook, and or a writing pad to writing
quotes. Open the cover, and imagine that the pages are filled with inspiring
quotes. Start with the first quote. What is it that you want to say? Who do you
want to inspire? Essentially, who is your intended audience? Once you answer
these questions in your mind, you can move onto the next step.

3 Choosing to inspire someone to carry out their dream is a good start. What do
you want to get out of the quote? Would you like to create a quote that starts
off negative, and then ends on a positive note? Quotes are either entirely
positive, or they begin with something negative, leading to a positive outcome.
We'll start off with a negative downside, then work toward a positive upside.
The quote can begin with "Don't allow others to sabotage your dreams". Once
you make it past this step in realizing the first part of the dream quote, then you
can move forward to the next step - a closing to the quote.

4 The quote will begin with "Don't allow others to sabotage your dreams". What
will it take to end the quote, making it ripe for the challenge? Who sabotages a
dream? What obstructs a dream? Challenges and obstacles interfere with
dreams. Family, friends, and society tend to push people off course, and away
from their dreams. Now that we know what the influences are, not it is time to
complete the quote. The next and final step will wrap up the quote, making it an
inspiring message to help people realize their potential as a dreamer. We can
move onto the last step, which is creating an inspiring quote that anyone can
understand.

5 The quote begins with "Don't allow others to sabotage your dreams". A person
can identify others as representing the challengers, which are negative people
that try to prevent them from accomplishing their dreams. Negative people
enjoy finding comfort in making others feel hopeless about chasing after a
dream. With criticism, they are able to feel better about their own miserable
lives. Our goal is to end the quote with the final outcome. "Don't allow others to
sabotage your dreams - confront negative criticism with courage, conviction,
and courtesy." The quote suggests that you will not give into criticism, unless
the advice helps you to make your dreams possible. Now the quote is
complete.

6 "Don't allow others to sabotage your dreams - confront negative criticism with
courage, conviction, and courtesy."
