"INSPIRATION"
"First, believe in the world - that there is meaning behind everything."
Swami Vivekanand --- Submitted by Aman Sharma --- India
Swami Vivekanand is my ideal person. His every word is a "Quote".
"If God takes something from us He has something better to give us. Our choices may sometimes result in painful immediate consequences but God will use the after effects of those consequences to strengthen and uplift us."

A thought that keeps me going
"Ever notice that often, the most depressing days are the cloudy, rainy days? Yet the rain is what allows everything around us to grow. I feel that the soul is the same way. While we all seek joy in our lives, it is often the times when we are down and feel as if there are nothing but black clouds over our heads that we have the greatest potential for growth."

"Suffer today; celebrate tomorrow."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by Swadeep Mohanty --- India
If today can't be achieved, tomorrow has to be achieved. Today's duty makes tomorrow's beauty.
"Great happiness does not come from being able to satisfy what your heart desires but being able to give yourself in love, even if it costs you to sacrifice."

It's like living for a cause...
You build your life from the ground up,
Crawling, walking, finally, running.
Everything in life is broken down in phases, steps.
The first one is the most essential,
For it decides your direction.
When you trip and fall,
Crawl till you can walk,
Walk until you can run.
Never forget to stop,
Look back, down, and forward
To make sure you're going
In the right direction.

I wrote this after difficult times with my mother who has cancer to remind her to take one step at a time in her everyday battle.
We come together, forming a group
Each of us, sharing our own truths
Searching for a greater guidance
Which does not ask for our silence
Opening ourselves to be received
By those around us who believe
Gaining strength from others
Wisdom
Learning the value of optimism
Sharing our love for those in need
So they of course can also succeed
Learning the value of our worth
While freeing ourselves from our hurt
Thankful each and every day
For the faith that has been brought our way

"No matter how steep the mountain is, God will climb it with you."

My mom sends me quotes every day and this one meant a lot to me because I struggle with the steep hills all the time.
"So you want to see into your FUTURE? Take a good look at the goals and plans you have written down and read, habits you have completed, and attitudes you have displayed - TODAY. The future you want begins with the today you are experiencing - NOW!"
Copyright © 2007 Dr. Robert B. Sheely
I realize there comes a time in a person's life that they must take total responsibility for all that the futurebrings. Yes, God is a partner in my life and my future - but God tends to partner in a more obvious way with those that have a plan and the motivation to take the first step to make their dreams come true. God has given me the imagination and freedom to create my life and my future all by myself, or by following every slight intention of what God would want for me, or in partnership with him as I listen and as He gives me the desires of my heart. (I believe that I have several books in me that must be written soon :)
"It is when we forget ourselves that we do things that are remembered."

Jim Morrison --- Submitted by Arvind Sharma --- India
"In all things, always remember to give thanks. You might not be where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be. If it hasn't happened yet, that doesn't mean it won't happen. Remember a delay is not a denial from God; at his own time, he will make all things beautiful."
Author Unknown --- Submitted by A A-O --- Wales
This is what I always say to encourage myself when the going gets tough.
"Every trial endured and weathered in the right spirit makes a soul nobler and stronger than it was before."
James Buckham
"I think we all have a little voice inside us that will guide us. It may be God, I don't know. But I think that if we shut out all the noise and clutter from our lives and listen to that voice, it will tell us the right thing to do."

"Begin today! No matter how feeble the light, let it shine as best it may."

This is one of the quotes that can bring you out of the depths of despair caused by your own choices in life.

"Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver."

"Yes, you can be a dreamer and a doer too, if you will remove one word from your vocabulary: impossible."
