Inspiration

Be inspired by the thoughts and wisdom of others...

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good.
What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.

When tomorrow comes this day will be gone for ever; in its place is something that you have left behind - let it be something good.

Success is following the pattern of life one enjoys most.

Benjamin Disraeli

Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything about it
M. Scott Peck

Begin with the end in mind and put first things first.
Stephen Covey

A goal properly set is halfway reached.
Zig Ziglar

Many people strive to be more like others, to fit in with what is expected, to be different from who they are. The paradox is that when we try to conform or copy others, we become a pale imitation of who we might be.
What really makes us sparkle and shine is our uniqueness. We can learn from others, certainly - even use them as role models in the early stages of our life's work. But fulfilling our potential means expressing our individuality: being bold, being brave, being different.
When we are willing to break the rules, to forge our own path, to take the 'road less travelled', we no longer feel driven to compete, or to compare ourselves with others. Instead our sense of selfworth comes from inside - from listening to our hearts, from being true to ourselves. We cooperate wholeheartedly with others, but compete only with ourselves - aiming for excellence, aiming for elegance, aiming for self-expression.
'Pure Bliss' by Gill Edwards

If you're thinking about 'dabbling' with a goal, or having a go for a bit and seeing what happens - don't bother - because it won't work!

Because energy flows where attention goes
Michael Neill

Life begets life; energy begets energy. It is by spending oneself that one becomes rich.

Something wonderful begins to happen with the simple realisation that life, like an automobile, is driven from the inside, not the other way round.
Richard Carlson

Most people are about as happy as they make up their mind to be
Abraham Lincoln

Being happy is a choice.

Remember, the past does not equal the future.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
Judy Garland

Simplify your life by increasing your ability to focus.
Jinny Ditzler

The most important choice you make is what you choose to make important.

I try to take a day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me all at once.
Ashley Brilliant

Thought is useful when it motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action.
Bill Raeder

Saying ‘yes’ to one things means saying ‘no’ to something else. They are opposite sides of the same coin.

A change in focus = a change in result.
David Allen

It is not enough to be busy… the question is ‘what are we busy about?

Time taken to plan and be organised pays for itself in time saved.

When your life is driven by ‘shoulds’ and ‘must dos’ you are in danger of losing your genuine self
