"INSPIRATION"
"God will never disappoint you. He will always be there for you whether you are looking or not."

Don't put your trust in earthly things because you will be disappointed. God is bigger than anything on earth and He will always be ready to aid and comfort you.
"Sometimes life throws us curveballs, none of us know for what reasons until it happens. If you look deep within you, you will soon find the answer to your pain and grief. God knows and He cares. His intention is to allow you to grow from your experience. If you hang in there long enough you will see his mighty right hand at work in your life. No matter what, Let Him have His way in your life."

"God doesn't give us trials and problems that we can't solve. If it's so painful and hard, He is just teaching us to hold on to our faith and to stand firm against the battles in life. Without suffering, life has no meaning at all. And if you know of some people, who only wish nothing but to see you suffer and fall, stand up, move on, and walk with faith in your heart. Make them realize that they can never bring you down. Eventually, each day makes you stronger. Then you could say, that you have the last laugh... because it's your pains that made you whole."

This quote was shared to me by my friend who was greatly ridiculed and misjudged by other people when she suffered a big failure in her life...
"The beauty of the soul shines out when you bear with composure one heavy influence after another,not because you do not feel them, but because you are a person of high and heroic temper."
Aristotle
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

"I shall pass through this world but once. Any good thing therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again."

Take a look in the mirror; what do you see
A reflection of love, a thing of beauty
Created by god, sculpted by genes
Molded by life, a thing of perfection it seems
No matter how fair or how dark
How large or how thin
A fingerprint in life
A unique specimen
By loving yourself unconditionally
You give the ultimate gift of love

So True
Each person I meet has their tale to tell
A story from within their heart known so well
From sharing comes learning and to understand
That hey, you're not the only one drowning in the sand
Oh yeah there are others out there
They have been there and they really do care
You only have to reach out your hand
Lean on a couple of people learn how to stand
What one person learns is another person's advice
And what better advice, such a chance doesn't come twice
Listen to what is told really hear it and take it with you
The next time round you're bound to make it through

HE
He lightens all our burdens and lifts our spirits
When we are down.
For those of us who restore their faith in him,
He will turn your life around.
Just trust in him and truly care
And he will remove any burdens
That, to you, seem too much to bear.
He can raise the downtrodden up off the ground,
Console the lonely when no one calls or comes around.
When things look darkest before the storm
He sends in our guardian angels with rays of sunshine
To make things bright and warm.
So, never give up and never give in
For those of us with unshakable faith
Will be delivered from sin.
Love, live and worship his word with all your might
And you can rest assured
You will always remain in his protective sight.

"When you want to know where you are in life...
Look at the stars.
When you find where you are in life...
Be inspired and true to one's self
And an inspirational guiding light to others."

This has to be read at night with a clear sky. Give time to reflect on the first part after reading 'Look at the stars'.
"Having traveled down the road and almost reaching the age of 30, I'm realizing how important trials along the way are to growth. If there were a perfect path, my soul is satisfied that I did not take it."

Many times in life we don't realize the importance of life's struggles. In every trial, there is a learning experience that makes you wiser than before.

"Believing and saying 'I can't' indicates you have already given up on the high possibility of achieving your goal through constant diligence. Replacing 'I can't' with 'I can and I will' and continuing to try, exemplifies a strong, courageous and positive minded individual. With this mindset, the sky is the limit."

I was empowered to write this thought as I daily work with and encounter families and children who exhibits little sense of direction, low self esteem, low self worth and need to understand the power of believing in order to achieve.

The strength of a man can be physical, mental, spiritual, etc., but you do not gain it as you age; you must work at it until it grows.

I wrote this myself in a book one time but I cannot remember if I actually made it up or if I read it somewhere.
