Inspirational Quotes - What They Mean To Us
There are moments in time
Where a comment so profound
Is uttered without thought to the potential
Of its ripple effects - future bound.
If we are introduced to such a quote
At precisely the right time,
We feel something open within ourselves.
Such inspiration can feel divine.
If you feel defeated, depleted of joy
And it seems failure awaits.
Remember this wise old Proverb,
"Fall seven times and stand up eight."
A Latin Proverb to follow
To rouse the inner strength you know is yours,
Don't give up like all is lost,
"If the wind will not serve, take the oars."
We mustn't stay down.
We can't stay stranded on a boat.
In life we have to battle
To keep ourselves afloat.
"Life is 10 percent of what happens to me and
90 percent of how I react to it." Charles Swindoll
This inspirational quote empowers us.
It reminds us of our control.
"Nothing is impossible,' Audrey Hepburn said
'The word itself says, "I'm possible!" "
So however huge our climb might feel,
Deep down, we know we're capable!
Christopher Columbus was a person brave,
For he knew not what was in store.
"You can never cross the ocean until you have
The courage to lose sight of the shore."...
Just pondering these very thoughts,
Amongst so many they are few,
Can motivate us if we feel trapped
Or unsure of what to do.
So friends, I finish off my list
With a little quote from me...
"Soldier on with self belief
And you will gain your victory!"
