QUOTES BY NELSON MANDELA | THINGS TO LEARN FROM NELSON MANDELA | LIFE INSPIRED BY NELSON MANDELA | INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHTS | LIFE CHANGING QUOTES |

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects 

and enhances the freedom of others.”

 “I have walked that long road to freedom. I have tried not to falter; I have made missteps along the way. But I have discovered the secret that after climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb. I have taken a moment here to rest, to steal a view of the glorious vista that surrounds me, to look back on the distance I have come. But I can only rest for a moment, for with freedom come responsibilities, and I dare not linger, for my long walk is not ended.”

“A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination.”  ~ Nelson Mandela

He truly lived his life by the poem that got him through prison:

Out of the night that covers me,

Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be

For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance

I have not winced nor cried aloud.

Under the bludgeonings of chance

My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears

Looms but the Horror of the shade,

And yet the menace of the years

Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate:

I am the captain of my soul.

~ Invictus, by William Ernest Henley.

Buddha Quotes | Positive Thinking

Our actions are all led by the mind; mind is their master, mind is their maker.

If one acts or speaks with a defiled state of mind, then suffering follows like the cart-wheel 

that follows the foot of the ox.

Our actions are all led by the mind; mind is their master, mind is their maker. 

If one acts or speaks with a pure state of mind, then happiness follows like a shadow that 

remains behind without departing.

— Dhammapada vv. 1, 2

“You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.”

LIFE QUOTES : “Collect moments, not things.”

Three simple rules for life: 1) If you do not decide what you want, you’ll never get it.

 2) If you do not ask, the answer will always be “no.” 

3) If you never take a step forward, you’ll always remain in the same place.

“Nothing is going to be handed to you. 

You have to make things happen.” -Florence Griffith-Joyne

“Those who look for the good in others will naturally 

bring out the good in themselves.”

“If one drop of rain can find its way to the ocean, 

one prayer can find its way to God.” 

-Linda Poindexter

without changing you into someone other than yourself.”

The Optimist Creed
By Christian D. Larsen

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.

Make all your friends feel there is something in them.

Look at the sunny side of everything.

Be as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

Inspirational Words of Wisdom

Inspirational Words of Wisdom Better Days Are Coming
		Better Days Are Coming by Wish Belkin, copyright 2001 If you fear losing somebody you love like rejection would be no surprise even if they never said it out loud you just knew by the look in their eyes accept that anxiety is due to some action we took while sleepwalking through life we would be lying if we tried denying we cause our own misery and strife. There is a voice inside of our heads that tells us of what is to come deja vu turned upside down is what it may seem like to some whether it's foresight or just premonition it leaves you feeling quite strange whisper or shout, it allows for no doubt that your fortunes are due for a change. The cyclical nature of the human condition prevents us from being at ease it bars the door to the peace that we seek it's a lock without any keys hope and fear are two sides of a coin a little like Abel and Cane it's not every day that just one will hold sway in the end it adds up to the same. Listen to this then, if you should find your emotions won't give you a breather I'm telling you, dreams don't often come true but the nightmares rarely do either. Life is the greatest journey you will ever be on.

Believe In Yourself

A Motivational Poem

Believe In Yourself
By Author Unknown


There may be days when you get up in the morning
and things aren't the way you had hoped they would be,
that's when you have to tell yourself
that things will get better.

There are times when people disappoint you and let you down,
but those are the times when you must remind yourself
to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your
life focused on believing in yourself
and all that you are capable of.

There will be challenges to face and
changes to make in your life,
and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you.

It may not be easy at times,
but in those times of struggle
you will find a stronger sense of who you are,
so when the days come that are filled with
frustration and unexpected responsibilities,
remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be,
because the challenges and changes will only help you to
find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep believing in yourself.

Forgiveness can be thought of in many ways. It can be thought of in terms of the person who forgives, in terms of the person forgiven and/or in terms of the relationship between the forgiver and the person forgiven. Join me as we explore passages in the books of Mark, James, and Luke to help us learn what forgiveness really means.

Courage

"You will never do anything in this world
without courage.
It is the greatest quality of the mind
next to honour."
~{Aristotle}~

Some very brave people suffer from feeling very uncourageous. They labour under the false assumption that courage requires no fear. Quite the contrary, fear is the single most important ingredient in courage.

Without fear there cannot be courage. Courage is the act of overcoming one’s fears.

We all have fears. We can all be courageous. Challenge your fears to a dual today… they aren’t half as brave as you are.
