101 Inspirational Quotes: Quotes about life, love, living and change

"Inspiring, motivating, life-affirming, life-changing"INTRODUCTION"Someone recently said to me that surely I should get my life in order first before trying to motivate and inspire others to sort out their lives? But actually, it is only because my life isn't perfect and I do have extremely difficult times, that I want to inspire others. I want to inspire and motivate from my own personal experiences, and show others that; no matter how difficult things can be, no matter how big obstacles may appear, no matter how horrible things are, there is almost always a way through, and things will almost certainly get better. It might not be straight-away, but they will get better. I know many people who have had extreme, life-changing things happen to them, and who have led such blighted, horrible lives, and who could never seen a way through, and yet every single one - every one - has indeed come through and survived. They have changed, grown, developed and have become better people. "We all see the same things very differently, and so I have also added a few short notes to these quotes. Not, I hope, in a patronising way, but just as a way of understanding the quote better myself and, hopefully, making it more defined to you." "I hope you enjoy this collection and can use some of these quotes to help you on your own personal journey and, from my heart, I really do hope that they help make your journey through life a more beautiful and rewarding one. Be happy and be good ... always!"

Think happy and you will be happy.“Live on in the hearts of everyone you meet.”Whether for five minutes chatting to the cashier in a supermarket, or a lifetime as a loved one or best-friend, touch the hearts of everyone you meet ... and make sure you live on in their hearts once you leave them.“Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.”If you doubt yourself, you will never change, never achieve, never win. The boxer who goes into the ring doubting he will win, will always lose. The person that doubts their ability to get a better job, will never get a better job. The person that doubts their ability to change, will never change. If you doubt, you will stay in the same place ... always. Doubt kills dreams, simple.“Don't be afraid to say 'No'.”Sometimes we say 'yes' to something when we should say 'no', and then our life takes us on a completely different path, all because we were afraid to say 'no'. A friend recently did this, he said yes to a job because he didn't want to let his employers down, when he should have said no, and because he was away from home for most of the time his partner left him! And the company certainly didn't care that his partner left him because of his job. Don't be afraid to say NO if you don't want to do something. Remember, there is no good outcome to saying yes to something you really don't want to do!“If it is to be ... it is up to me.”You either make it happen, or you don't make it happen. Up to you.
