Talking Inspiration!

Most of the people in our situation come here for advice and support. That's what this site is here for and thats what we're here for. So I'm starting this thread to inspire people who need some support and inspiration. We don't all get told great things about ourselves on a daily basis like we all should.

Please find quotes that are uplifting/inspiring and post them here. Be sure to mark this topic in your favorites and when you're feeling down, depressed, scared or alone, visit this topic and read through everything that people post and know that your not alone. We're hear to help each other.

“I know you can't live on hope alone but without hope life is not worth living. So you and you and you, you've got to give them hope.”

I'll start it. I posted this on paramore's thread, I think it's my favorite quote.

"The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!"

-Rocky Balboa

Native American Legend
Two Wolves

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Great idea!

"Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed." - Abraham Lincoln

It's not that I'm heartless, I'm just proving to myself that I'm stronger than letting you be my weakness.

Some people see things as they are and ask, "Why?" Others see things as they could be and ask, "Why not?"

Lightbulb Re: Inspiration!

If u know Jesus then u are NEVER alone, even when all have forsaken/abandoned you.

that which is flesh, is flesh. that which is spirit, is spirit.

praise God in all things, and again i say PRAISE HIM!!!

keep your mind on pleasant things, not the bad.

music as well as time is a great healer (esp when u include God).

" Folks dont buy things for YOUR reasons, they buy them for THEIR reasons."

-Zig Ziglar

Why is this quote so important?

You cannot get people to do thing because you think they are important, you have to make those things important to them, You have to appeal to their needs, not your own.

One of my favourites..

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.

Trying to convince myself of this one...

People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
- Salma Hayek


It is not in the stars to hold, our destiny but in ourselves.
-William Shakespeare

Remember me and smile, for it's better to forget than to remember me and cry

I love this one..

The most valuable jewels around your neck are the arms of your children (Im a mummy to 3 amazing kids)

And lastly.. everyone loves Winnie the Pooh...

Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.

This goes a long with your quote.

The thing about the fear is spot on! So many people don't do things because of FEAR!
