I overhead this inspirational quote at church. I’m not sure that’s what it was meant to be, but it really drove the point home of the power of one and it sure gave me a good laugh. What motivational quotes have you accidentally come up with?
“If you’ve ever underestimated the power of one, then you’ve never slept in a room with a mosquito.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I’m sure. I love having an inspirational thought to ponder on each week. These inspiring quotes give me a bite to chew on and one thing to work towards, making me a better person (hopefully). This powerful quote makes it seem so simple–begin it now. Take that first step forward and just start.
Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Do you have a dream that is waiting to begin?

I came up with this inspirational quote all by myself, ha ha.
“No one can give you permission to enjoy life except yourself.”
–Rachelle J. Christensen
You can probably understand how that thought came doing housework, huh? Actually, I don’t mind doing laundry and I think it’s all about the attitude, and maybe because I don’t save all my laundry for a once-a-week mountain climb.
But there are many other things in life that I want to enjoy more and I’ve decided that I can’t wait for that perfect moment or when I’m not tired, or when the kids get older, or when I’ve checked off those items on my To-Do list OR for someone to give me permission to stop and smell the roses.
So I’m giving myself permission to find more joy. I hope you’ll join me and apply this inspiring thought to your own life.

And here we are. July is a special month, especially for citizens of the United States of America, as we celebrate our country’s birthday. This inspirational thought gives us a lot to think about. I hope you reflect on it as you enjoy your 4th of July festivities!
If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.

Isn’t it true that we love and appreciate things more when we come to know them? I love this week’s inspirational quote because it describes just that. Everything means more to us when we know them, including people. Let’s let this motivational quote inspire us to get to know those around us and to treat each other with kindness and respect.
Each planet, each plant, each butterfly, each moth, each beetle, becomes doubly real to you when you know its name. Lucky indeed are those who from their earliest childhood have heard all these things named.
–John Cowper Powys

There are so many fantastic inspirational quotes out there and I love finding those thoughts that give me motivation to be a better person. I also love sharing these motivational quotes with you because each week, I sit and reflect on these snippets of wisdom and I hope that you do too!
The great use of life is to spend it for something that outlasts it.
–William James
I love this quote because it makes me think of many things that I love that I hope will outlast my own life—my five beautiful children and the writing that I pour little bits of my soul into each day.
What lasting work are you doing?
