#encouragement

"I live to inspire, not start the fire."

"The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained in sudden flight but, they while their companions slept, they were toiling upwards in the night."

"If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones. When we come to understand this, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future."

"I didnt give up, because i had nothing, i was no body. But for the fact i was no body and i had nothing. It made me work harder to have something and to be someone. I worked harder more than anyone who had anything. It matters how you view or see things.same thing might not look the same . It depend which angle you are looking them from."

"Temptation is not to be feared, but controlled."

"We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better."

"Morning dew upon the grass,glistening in the sun.Yesterday’s gone,tomorrow may come,but this day has begun."

"There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them.But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there."

"Do not sit still; start moving now. In the beginning, you may not go in the direction you want, but as long as you are moving, you are creating alternatives and possibilities."

"Why wait? So precious is this life—this gift—this temporary blindness. Burn and drown and embrace the false dark, then grasp the unthinkable height of resulting joy. For in the end, in the light of truth when the flesh is cast off, there is nothing but this."

"Encouragement is like water to the soul, it makes everything grow."

"With a hint of good judgment, to fear nothing, not failure or suffering or even death, indicates that you value life the most. You live to the extreme; you push limits; you spend your time building legacies. Those do not die."

"Encouragement requires empathy and seeing the world from your spouse's perspective. We must first learn what is important to our spouse. Only then can we give encouragement. With verbal encouragement, we are trying to communicate, "I know. I care. I am with you. How can I help?"We are trying to show that we believe in him and in his abilities. We are giving credit and praise."

"Never put off writing until you are better at it."

"How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same."

"Your life looks like a prison because you focus on the things you wish you had and thus don’t appreciate what you already have.So why don’t you try to see the abundance in your life? Because, if you haven’t noticed, you’ve got many things to thank for. Just look around."

"I think eulogies are wasted on the dead. It’s the living who need to hear kind words spoken about them."

"It's just that in the Deep South, women learn at a young age that when the world is falling apart around you, it's time to take down the drapes and make a new dress."

"You can do anything you want to do, if you want to do it bad enough."

"Come friends, it's not too late to seek a newer world."
