Great Motivational Quotes

Finish each day and be done with it.

You have done what you could;

some blunders and absurdities have crept in;

forget them as soon as you can.

Tomorrow is a new day;

you shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit

to be encumbered with your old nonsense.

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it.

No idleness, no delay, no procrastination;

never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

There is no beginning.
There is only the
infinite passion of life.

Give yourself the power,

Give yourself the confidence,

Live for today not for tomorrow,

Live the EXTREME !!!!!!!

Because you got yourself only one life… LIVE IT !!!!

Our Perception

It's our perception,
yes our view
that describes
to me and you.

The way we see it
within our way
will determine
our day to day.

It's our perception
that makes or breaks
the days successes
or days mistakes.

It's our perception
within our mind
that sometimes paints
the views we find.

So start trying
to perceive the view
better than ever
and it might come true.

Dreams

Dreams are a big part of our Lives
and You must do whatever it takes
to make them a Reality;
by the plans you make,
the course you take,
and the things you do.

Don't dwell on past mistakes.
Leave yesterday behind,
along with all it's problems,
worries and doubts.

Realize you can't change the past,
but you can start a new tomorrow.
Don't try to do everything at once;
take one step at a time,

Don't ever be afraid to try the Impossible
no matter what others may think.
Remember you are Unique
in your own special way.

Don't ever stop Dreaming!
Don't ever stop wanting what's right for you!

To dream anything that you want to dream,
that is the beauty of the human mind.

To do anything that you want to do,
that is the strength of the human will.

To trust yourself, to test your limits,
that is the courage to succeed."

A True Smile

A smile shouldn't be taken lightly
Some smile all the time, politely
One thing for sure.

A true smile is joy so pure
With a smile, joy is released from the soul
A process initiated at birth to console.

Every smile makes a soul stronger than before
Beware, do not let joy be ignored
If the joy is not let out with a true smile.

It will build up, for awhile
But after a bit it will spoil slow
Diminishing until it becomes pure sorrow.

Though sorrow is needed for a soul maturing
Pure sorrow may outlast a soul most enduring
When this happens a soul will become stronger.

Once decided it wants sorrow no longer
While smiling keep this in thought
And give all, this life lesson to be taught

Our Inner Voice

Trials one another
lead us directions
that we need learning
to make some corrections.
Time after time
and day after day
trials come bestowing
another which way.

They're one another
of which they each show
lessons through trials
of which way to go,
but if we don't listen
to our inner voice
we will again then
make a bad choice.

Of course we will error
sometimes and agin,
but it's those errors
that'll help you to win.

Motivational Poem - Hope

If you can look at the sunset and smile,
then you still have hope.

If you can find beauty in the colors of a small flower,
then you still have hope.

If you can find pleasure in the movement of a butterfly,
then you still have hope.

If the smile of a child can still warm your heart,
then you still have hope.

If you can see the good in other people,
then you still have hope.

If the rain breaking on a roof top can still lull you to sleep,
then you still have hope.

If the sight of a rainbow still makes you stop and stare in wonder,
then you still have hope.

If the soft fur of a favored pet still feels pleasant under your fingertips,
then you still have hope.

If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism,
then you still have hope.

If you give people the benefit of a doubt,
then you still have hope.

If you still offer your hand in friendship to others that have touched your life,
then you still have hope.

If receiving an unexpected card or letter still brings a pleasant surprise,
then you still have hope.

If the suffering of others still fills you with pain and frustration,
then you still have hope.

If you refuse to let a friendship die, or accept that it must end,
then you still have hope.

If you look forward to a time or place of quiet and reflection,
then you still have hope.

If you still buy the ornaments, put up the Christmas tree or cook the turkey,
then you still have hope.

If you still watch love stories or want the endings to be happy,
then you still have hope.

If you can look to the past and smile,
then you still have hope.

If, when faced with the bad, when told everything is futile,
you can still look up and end the conversation with the phrase...
"yeah....BUT.." then you still have hope.

Hope is such a marvelous thing. It bends, it twists, it sometimes hides,
but rarely does it break. It sustains us when nothing else can.

It gives us reason to continue and courage to move ahead,
when we tell ourselves we'd rather give in.

Hope puts a smile on our face when the heart cannot manage.

Hope puts our feet on the path when our eyes cannot see it.

Hope moves us to act when our souls are confused of the direction.

Hope is a wonderful thing, something to be cherished
and nurtured, and something that will refresh us in return.

And it can be found in each of us, and it can bring
light into the darkest of places.

Never lose hope.

Motivational Poem - A Chance To Start

How often we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning.
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning.

It does not take a special time
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes the deep desire
To try with all our heart.

To live a little better,
To always be forgiving.
To add a little sunshine,
In a world for which we're living.

Never give up in despair
Nor think you are through,
For there's always a tomorrow,
A chance to start a new.

Heart Prints

Heart Prints
By Author Unknown

Whatever our hands touch...we leave
fingerprints on.
On walls, on furniture, on door knobs,
dishes and books.

As we touch we leave our identity..
Oh please where ever I go today...
help me leave heart prints.

Heart prints of compassion,
understanding and love.
Heart prints of kindness and genuine concern.

May my heart touch a lonely neighbor...
or a runaway daughter...
or an anxious mother...
or perhaps a dear friend!

I shall go out today...
to leave heart prints...
and if some one should say...
"I felt your touch!"

Always Create Your Own Dreams and Live Life to the Fullest

Dreams can come true if you take the time to think about what you want in life.
Get to know yourself.
Find out who you are.
Choose your goals carefully.
Be honest with yourself.
Always believe in yourself.
Find many interests and pursue them.
Find out what is important to you.
Find out what you are good at.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes.
Work hard to achieve successes.
When things are not going right, don't give up; just try harder.
Give yourself freedom to try out new things.
Laugh and have a good time.
Open yourself up to love.
Take part in the beauty of nature.
Be appreciative of all that you have.
Help those less fortunate than you.
Work towards peace in the world.
Live life to the fullest.
Create your own dreams and follow them until they are a reality.
