Here, you'll find material that is sometimes
light, often informative; some will move you -
and mostly -
inspiring!

Thoughts and words are the seeds that
inspire healing and motivate us.
Just one sentence, or a song, poem, proverb,
affirmation or quotation can greatly
influence or change our lives.
Sometimes a picture, song, or music
contribute to that as well.

Words of kindness, understanding and genuine
loving examples can inspire us to reflect, and
think, or bring profound healing.

Inspire” literally means to “breathe in” – to
breathe in, or draw forth
, the desire to
continue, to be encouraged, comforted,
motivated.

Inspirational and motivational stories, poems
and articles can produce the inner strength
to overcome dark moods, despair, sorrow, or
guilt. Music, art and
pictures can soothe
wounded spirits.

Inspiration heightens or intensifies that
which already resides within us. It can
prompt or cheer us on, and influence us to
switch into a more positive frame of mind,
and thus be the cause or source of what is
needed to be stimulated into positive action.

These pages are being created to bring the
best of ourselves into the world community
to uplift and inspire.

My desire is that they help to have an
animating effect on you, and impel, stimulate
or compel some creative or effective effort,
on your part to cause or guide you into more
positive directions.

May they guide, communicate, or motivate
your inner spirit, and arouse or produce
thoughts and feelings of love, and kindness:
kindness inspires love.

May they affect you to love yourself, and
others, and give you occasion, and cause you
to embark, or continue on your life, or
healing, growing journey with renewed joy.
Let it animate and enliven you, and blow
exalting thoughts and feelings upon you.

The material here belongs to the entire
human community. Everyone is encouraged to
contribute; share the thoughts, ideas or
words that have a personal meaning to you
and let us see how our garden grows. I
encourage you to submit your own favourite
inspirational article, story, poem or
quotation. Please do so.

If life has you down, turn it around by
learning to
resonate to a positive wavelength
today!

If your life is fulfilling and happy, why not
share that, too?

Motivation is nothing but a fleeting experience.
it only lasts for a moment.

No doubt people are motivated by the various pages
on this site - I have heard that many times.

My ultimate goal, however,
is to provide lasting inspiration to people.
I believe that once you are inspired,
lasting motivation will follow.

Lasting motivation comes from within;
it’s the internal flame that sets you afire.
If you can’t wake up in the morning and pep yourself
up, you are in big trouble.
The best way to remain internally motivated
is to look for sources of inspiration.

On the other hand, there is external motivation.
External motivation is a lot like taking drugs.
You can easily become addicted, and whatever
motivates you had better be there all the time.

Once the person or thing that motivated you is no
longer present, you go right back to where you
started.  It’s a short-term feeling.

That external source needs to connect with your
internal one – that way it boosts it -
but doesn’t cause it –
it simply helps strengthen what’s already there.

It is my sincere hope that the pages in this section
of the site will connect and resonate with you . . .
and that you proceed to a happy and fulfilling life.
