Motivational sayings and/or affirmations.

The Challenge
by Jim Rohn
***
Let others lead small lives,
But not you.
Let others argue over small things,
But not you.
Let others cry over small hurts,
But not you.
Let others leave their future
In someone else's hands,
But not you.​
 
I really love this idea and I am going to try and do it as often as possible. :)
I've just spent a lovely half an hour reading your quotes Cate. Thanks for taking the time to post them :)

My new years resolution is to practise random acts of kindness more often.
What is a Random Act Of Kindness?
Here is how Wikipedia defines a random act of kindness….

“A random act of kindness is a purportedly selfless act performed by a person or persons wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual or in some cases even an animal. There will generally be no reason other than to make people smile, or be happier. Either spontaneous or planned in advance, random acts of kindness are encouraged by various communities.”

Aesop once said…
“No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.”

I have quoted Maya Angelou (American Poet b.1928) a lot but one of my favourite quotes of hers is ..
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Imagine being so generous of spirit that you are kind to people but without taking any credit for it.
I love that idea & I am going to look for chances of showing more kindness in 2010.
Just imagine if everyone tried to be kinder to one another..........

Never waste time & energy beating yourself up!
There are no mistakes, just learning experiences.
Weight loss is a process & every process takes time.
Sometimes it will be easy,
Sometimes it will be hard.
You will encounter small failures- everyone does.
Every kilo gained can be lost.
Every slip-up you make is not a disaster.
Every day is a new beginning.​
 
OH my goodness! I love this post! It's so motivating and inspiring! Thanks so much for all the words of wisdom!
 
A song I find very inspiring:

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
~Natasha Bedingfield, Unwritten
 
Every minute of every day is an opportunity to recreate ourselves. Who you are today, is not who you where yesterday. Today is a fresh start. Today is a new beginning.

"Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them- a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill."
-Muhammad Ali
 
"When you arise in the morning,
think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive -
to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love."

Amen! Sometimes we get so caught up in all the negative stuff in our lives that we forget what a privilege it is just to be here at all! Life is so precious, beautiful, and wondrous, and we often forget. Thanks so much for the reminder!
 
The positive thinker sees the invisible,
feels the intangible,
and achieves the impossible.​
 

"The vision must be followed by the venture.
It is not enough to stare up the steps -
we must step up the stairs."

Promise Yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best , to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

All you'd need to do is find those motivational sayings that have inspired you (there are a LOT in this post) and then copy/paste them into a word document. Add color and a cool font then print them from your home PC. You can also bring them into photoshop and add graphics or photos that also inspire you - Bam, Great inspiration for your bedroom walls or scrapbook. :D
