Quotes of Hope

I have created and compiled my top ten life Inspirational Quotes that I hope will inspire you to reach for your dreams. These quotes inspired me during my personal difficulties. No matter where you are going or what your going through, I promise you are not alone. I want to encourage you to enlarge your vision and stay positive in your thoughts. You are what you think!! See what is happening around you. Are you at the status quo? Are you reaching your goals? If the answer is No - could you be focusing on the negative instead of the positive. Be aware of what you say before you say it. When you begin with positive affirmations it can become a real positive enlightenment.

Rejoice! There is growth from every difficulty

We face challenges everyday. How we react in the face of adversity will be a reflection of our true character. It is essential to stay calm during the storm in order to complete the project at hand. This clarity will boost your confidence, allow you to see the larger picture and ultimately produce positive results.

An instant is just a moment in time. A lifetime lasts forever

“Do not sweat the small stuff”. Simplify your life. Don’t go through life wasting your energy being frustrated or offended over small issues. Respond to life’s issues with wisdom, patience and laughter.

Love and Pray for your enemies

This is a very difficult premise for most of us to understand. When we think of the hurt and pain our enemies have caused why would we love and pray for them? We need to look above ourselves and see them as equal. If we offer prayers to those who offend us, then our prayers will be heard. To persecute our enemies is to persecute the one person who offers us forgiveness. God’s mercy will always shine upon us when we move in the direction of love.

See the positive

Wake up every morning with a grateful spirit. It does not matter what circumstances lie ahead, if you start your day with a smile and stay focused on the positive, the mountain will not seem as steep. Be disciplined and know brighter days are ahead. “Tough times don’t last, tough people do” .

Look through the eyes of a child

Its very magical looking through the eyes of a child. Sometimes its not what you seen in there eyes but what they are feeling in there heart. They become so transparent with their emotions they can lift your spirits with their smile. Keep focused on their innocence and live veraciously through their eyes.

Be thankful for your health, home and family

It is the little things we take for granted. Be grateful for what you have instead of being discouraged by what you do no have. If you are not satisfied with your lot in life you have all the power to make a change. It is yours to keep or yours to change. If you keep doing the same thing you will always get the same results.

Pray everyday

Find solace in prayer. The foundation of love and peace lies in the discipline of daily prayer. Believe there is something much larger that life itself. Find the connection with the spirit to guide and lead us through our lives.

Forgive unconditionally

You do not need a reason to forgive. We are all subject to hurt throughout our life and sometimes it is difficult to overcome. It takes courage and pride. If we want to live a joyful life then we must forget the past, live for today, choose happiness and forgive unconditionally.

Walk in the rain

Are you in a hurry? Slow down and enjoy the rain and what it represents. A day without rain is day without life. We use an umbrella to symbolize protection but guard yourself from hiding under the shelter where you will miss discovering your true potential, fulfillment and happiness.

Admire the Sun Rays

Admire how gloriously everything shines with the glow of the sun rays. Feel the warmth of the rays as they wrap themselves around you and enlighten your spirit. Let the warmth of the sun seep into your soul and give you peace.

I hope these quotes have channeled your energy and allowed your wisdom to prevail. I try to live by this quote everyday:

"Life is a journey not a marathon and we need to enjoy the ride"

Live Life to Its Fullest

Very nice quotes.

If one stays focused and alert, one could apply most of them to one's life, except possibly the ones on loving/praying and even unconditionally forgiving those three or four turncoats who showed their true colors at a time when one was down and out? I understand the concept, but how does one forgive such persons and even pray for them?

Jaspal - in order to connect with your source (God) you must emulate him or try to as close as you can to be like him. If he gives you forgiveness and loves you unconditionally and you came from that source then we have part of him in us. I am sure we disappoint our source and act rudely but I believe if you repent you will be forgiven and loved without constraints..
