INSPIRATION QUOTATIONS
“What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year.”

Vernon McLellan

“All human beings should try to learn before they die what they are running from, and to, and why.”

James Thurber

“For it's not light that is needed, but fire; it's not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind and the earthquake in our hearts.”

Frederick Douglass

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”

Nelson Mandela

“A highly developed values system is like a compass. It serves as a guide to point you in the right direction when you are lost.”

Idowu Koyenikan

“I go to seek a Great Perhaps.”

François Rabelais

“Do the things you used to talk about doing but never did. Know when to let go and when to hold on tight. Stop rushing. Don't be intimidated to say it like it is. Stop apologizing all the time. Learn to say no, so your yes has some oomph. Spend time with the friends who lift you up, and cut loose the ones who bring you down. Stop giving your power away. Be more concerned with being interested than being interesting. Be old enough to appreciate your freedom, and young enough to enjoy it. Finally, know who you are.”

Kristin Armstrong

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

Lao Tzu

“While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Apple Computer Inc.

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine—and shadows will fall behind you. ”

Walt Whitman

“We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.”

H.G. Wells

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

Carl Sandburg

'Inspiration is the language of a free spirit' with love to all Mary Ann Plamenac motivational life coach

I took my diagnosis of skin cancer (which includes surgeries and burning) and turned it around to help kids know about addictions (mine was to tanning) and skin cancer. I turned a negative into a positive for both myself and the students I talk to.

My life is falling apart quicker than i can repair it

Sedona Cole from Vancouver, BC  JULY 22, 2013
Inspiration is an internal event. I seemed to have locked the door, yet got some serious help opening it through an online mentoring site (their name says it all!) called FTRnation.com (aka Free Thinking Renegades). I realized my thinking wasn't free, and had to find my way back to it. Loved your post and other comments. Thanks for the info!!

Ediomo Iton from Nigeria uyo MARCH 28, 2013
Inspirations of this nature have really helped in people's lives.

Every time that I read the inspirational massage I feel relaxed.

Bruce Willingham from Warner Robins, Ga FEBRUARY 16, 2013
Inspiration is speaking the words that sway people.

Ms. Richardson from Flordia DECEMBER 11, 2012
The quote that gets my day started all the time is Live, Laugh, Love. I hope these words will inspire people all day.

Dolores Phifery from York, PA SEPTEMBER 2, 2012
Including others can be as simple as sharing your ethnic/family meal with someone that different than you. I shared my favorite cookbook and recipe with a co-worker of a different ethnic background. He approached me during break and asked for help to make American food. His child is in school and is exposed to many new tastes. I was honored.

Saravanan from India  AUGUST 3, 2011
It is such a wonderful site for the youngsters . Everyone should know the values, motivation and inspiration to all. I really enjoy and appreciate for your valuable quotes, videos and audios. Thank you so much.

Carolyn H. Smith from Brandon, Mississippi MARCH 12, 2011
The world definitely needs more encouragement and inspiration. Love all your advertising spots on T.V. If more people took your messages to heart and tried to pass them on, what a much more pleasant world this would be. Keep up the great work! I'm really a believer in random acts of kindness. Wish more folks felt the same!

A.Wickramage from Sri Lanka FEBRUARY 11, 2011
I've been logging on to your site for about a year or so. I must tell you that it is truly amazing the way I have changed my ways and behavior. The way I act and react to simple day to day obstacles have changed for the better thanks to you.

Bruce Tipton from Carlsbad, Ca JANUARY 7, 2011
Thanks so mcuh for all your wonderful messages of hope, inspiration, kindness...doing the right thing! In this world of "me first" and endless cynicism, you provide the proverbial beacon of light, in an otherwise dark world. Keep it up, its working.

June S. from Jackson, Al. NOVEMBER 28, 2010
I greatly appreciate your commercials that encourage and inspire us to do better, be better, and be a blessing.

Win T. from Lake Placid, Florida APRIL 4, 2010
Thank you for producing the "Inspire" TV spot "You Raise me Up". It is so refreshing to see something positive on TV. Keep it up. It is very much appreciated!

Graciela from Fort Lauderdale, FL MARCH 9, 2010
I am a nursing home nurse, and every time that I work, I smile. Some nurses say that I am little crazy. But I explain to them that the smile is contagious and chronic. The more you do, the more you receive and is more natural. Thank you for this little corner, I really enjoy and appreciate yours advertising.
