Quotes To Live By

Quote #131: Ashley Ghose

Hi, I'm Ashley, a Life Coach passionate about helping working moms find more ease and clarity, the Lead Assistant, and a proud member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition.

A quote that inspires me is:
"No one else can grant you a fulfilling life. You are the author of your own story." —Gail McMeekin

The reason I find this quote so inspiring is because it gently reminds me that while I can't always control my circumstances, I can choose how I respond. There are days when everything feels out of my hands, and this quote brings me back to the idea that I still have agency, especially over my mindset. It’s a quiet nudge that I’m not powerless, even when things feel overwhelming.

This quote supports my wellbeing by grounding me in the present and helping me reclaim a sense of calm. It’s a reminder that I can write my next page—one small, intentional choice at a time.

So, what’s one small thing you can choose today that supports the story you want to live?

This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition’s Quotes to Live By Series.
