Cultivating change and growth is difficult — it’s part of the process. These 13 inspiring quotes to cultivate change are those ones I refer back to when I need some grounding inspiration. Whether you need a little kick in the pants to take that leap, or you’re stuck in a rut making difficult decisions, these quotes will help inspire you to rise to the challenge and realize the only limits in life are the ones you’ve placed on yourself. I know every time I watch this Ted Talk by Brené Brown, I can’t help but jot down a few quotes to look back to.
Whenever I’m stepping outside my comfort zone, or visiting a destination I’m truly displaced in and hesitant to explore, I look to these to help me find inspiration within and move through the obstacle that is holding me back. Last month I shared a post on the power of words (check it out here) and how we should give life to the words that empower us, be sure to take a peak at that post as well.
Take a look at these 13 inspiring quotes to cultivate change.
1. “Old ways won’t open new doors.”
2. “Your elevation may require your isolation.”
3. “There are no shortcuts to anywhere worth going.”
4. “Stop waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect moment is now.”
5. “If you are too lazy to plow, don’t expect a harvest.”
6. “Being challenged in life is inevitable, being defeated is optional.” — Roger Crawford
7. “If it doesn’t challenge you it doesn’t change you.” — Fred Devito
8. “Fears we don’t face become our limits.”
9. “Never let your fear decide your future.”
10. “Fears are stories we tell ourselves.”
11. “What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.” — J. Sidlow Baxter
12. “The fears we don’t face become our limits.”
13. “Your Fear is 100% dependent on you for its survival.”

PS — Are You Booking a Trip Soon? Use My Booking Checklist!
These are the sites I use most to book my own trips. Using the links below is a great way to support Bon Traveler’s travel journalism at no extra cost to you. If you need help organizing your itinerary, get my free travel itinerary template here.
1. Book Your Accommodations
I use Booking.com for hotels and Airbnb for vacation rentals. They have the biggest inventory and consistently offer the best rates.
2. Book Your Rental Car
Self-driving is the best way to explore most destinations. I use Discover Cars for our rental cars, select full coverage insurance, and opt for a reputable company like Alamo, Hertz, or Sixt.
3. Book Your Tours & Experiences
I use Viator, Airbnb, and Get Your Guide to find the best tours and experiences. They are my favorite tour search engines. I always check all three as their inventory varies depending on the destination.
4. Book Your Private Transfers
For easy, reliable private transfers, I use Welcome Pickups. It’s my go-to for arranging a driver in advance — whether it’s an airport pickup, a hotel-to-hotel transfer, or a day trip. The experience is seamless, with English-speaking drivers and upfront pricing, so you can travel stress-free at every stage of your trip.
5. Get Cell Data for Your Trip
I use Holafly for international cell data. Their unlimited data eSIMs are easy to install, activate instantly on arrival, and let you skip local SIM cards and expensive roaming fees.
6. Don’t Forget Travel Insurance
I never leave the country without travel insurance. It provides comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong (ie. illness, injury, theft, or cancellations).
My favorite companies that offer the best coverage and rates are:
- World Nomads (best for all-around)
- Safety Wing (best for frequent travelers)
