Inspiration

Sometimes we need most of all the reminder that it is possible to push through difficult times, to face our fears and challenges head on and come out better for it.


Proof that trying to be something youre not for someone else will not make you happy - because who you are is who you were meant to be - so just be!!!


 
"People travel to wonder at the height of the mountains,
at the huge waves of the seas,
at the long course of the rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars,
and yet they pass by themselves without wondering."
~St Augustine~

"What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to what lies within us." 
~Henry Stanley Haskins~


This woman is one of my heroines - she is a lady who saw suffering and acted in a small kind way which grew into an outreach that involves people all over the world.  Meet the chicken lady of Jerusalem.



This man is a force of nature, a beautiful soul and such an inspiration.  He is living proof that we can choose to play the hand we are dealt and he is one of my all time heroes - watch and you'll see why...


Sometimes in life the things we planned dont work the way we expected.  This athlete Derick Redmond shows that with determination, courage, strength and by believing in what others say is impossible we can do anything.  Sometimes its painful, we often need support - but we can get there.




An Inspiration by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
However the battle is ended,
Though proudly the victor comes
With fluttering flags and prancing nags
And echoing roll of drums.
Still truth proclaims this motto,
In letters of living light, -
No Question is ever settled,
Until it is settled right.

Though the heel of the strong oppressor
May grind the weak to dust,
And the voices of fame with one acclaim
May call him great and just,
Let those who applaud take warning,
And keep this motto in sight, -
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

Let those who have failed take courage;
Tho' the enemy seems to have won,
Tho' his ranks are strong, if he be in the wrong
The battle is not yet done;
For, as sure as the morning follows
The darkest hour of the night,
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.

O man bowed down with labor!
O woman, young, yet old!
O heart oppressed in the toiler's breast
And crushed by the power of gold!
Keep on with your weary battle
Against triumphant might;
No question is ever settled
Until it is settled right.







"Life is an opportunity - benefit from it.
Life is a beauty - admire it.
Life is a bliss - taste it.
Life is a dream - realise it.
Life is a challenge - meet it.
Life is a duty - complete it.
Life is a game - play it.
Life is a promise - fulfill it.
Life is sorrow - overcome it.
Life is a song - sing it.
Life is a struggle - accept it.
Life is a tragedy - confront it.
Life is an adventure - dare it.
Life is luck - make it.
Life is too precious - do not destroy it.
Life is life - fight for it."
~Mother Theresa~




This is a powerful poem by a woman with a heck of a lot of energy and passion.
