Free inspirational quotes

Tuta bridge on way to Mansa, Luapula Province, Zambia.

• “Sometimes small successes can be distractions, keeping you comfortable and satisfied when they should be stepping stones to greater things. Keep pursuing that bigger dream!”

• “If you have a clear vision of where you want to be and what you want to achieve you will be more willing and able to change. This is because with this vision you will know what change is necessary in order for you to reach your intended destination.”

• “I am often asked how to become a speaker or writer so I thought I could share on of my responses: ''I would say if that's what you want then start where you are. What opportunities do you have to speak - at church? In schools? At work? Start using those. Practice. Practice and more practice! Get going. Find what you are passionate about speaking about and start doing it. You will gain confidence along the way and build a following. Learn how to speak. Join a Toastmasters club: http://www.toastmasters.org/ Read widely around your chosen topic. Learn as much as you can about it. Become a guru on it. People want to listen to substance, not waffling. Get to know your stuff. Ideas to write will come easier if you have read around the subject. You may be able to identify gaps that you can fill or subjects you can expand on or take another perspective on. Lastly - get writing. The only way to know how to write is to do it! Don't wait for the perfect moment - write when inspiration hits you. Don't worry about writing a book. Just start. Write short articles. Write short paragraphs. Perfect it over time. A valuable resource for learning how to write, though it was written for web writing is ''Male Your Words Sell'': I still use much of its principles in my writing. Read it and apply it. All the best and I am happy to help you further on your journey. I look forward to listening to you speak one of these days.''

The magnificent Victoria Falls, Livingstone, Zambia.

• “Beautiful things are sometimes formed under pressure and friction. I collected these stones from the Mediterranean Sea in Barcelona. They were shaped by friction with other stones as the waves tossed them about. Don't be afraid of a little pressure ... it will smoothen you.”

• “At any given moment you have the power to say 'this is not how the story is going to end'.”

• “Take a stance. Stand for something. Be inspired. Inspire someone. Achieve. Live. Flourish. Be alive!”

• “There is a time for planning and there is a time for doing. One without the other is a waste of your time and energy.”

• “I have had more failure than success, but the successes have been bigger and with greater impact than the failures. Ironically, I would not have had many of the successes had I not learnt from the failures. I would not have had the successes had I let the failures discourage me and stop me from trying again. Do not be afraid of making genuine mistakes because out of them come lessons that will carry you to greater heights.”

• “It might not be smooth sailing, but at least it is sailing.”

• "Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect..."

Sunset cruise on the Zambezi river, Livingstone, Zambia.

• “My daughter has often complained about being teased and/or bullied. I tell her, first defend yourself. If someone hits you, hit back and hit hard, but never start the fight. If they say nasty things about you just tell them you don't care and walk away and find someone else to play with that doesn't say nasty things. Second, report it to the teacher. Third, tell them Daddy does not take kindly to nonsense and if they continue he will come and sort them out. Above all, I try to tell her that what others think is not as important as what she thinks. She should just know that she is special and doesn't need them to be so. I think having her feel empowered and not a victim is extremely important. I try to make her see that it's no big deal and she can handle it. If we make it seem like a big deal and be over protective I think it does more harm by making them feel helpless. But it's important to check that they are handling it well. That's why I enjoy picking my kids from school and dropping them - gives me a chance to find out what's happening.”

• “We often under-estimate how much we know and more importantly we under-estimate how valuable our knowledge is. What fortune is hidden in you that you are not exploiting fully?”

• “If the world didn't give it to you then the world can't take it from you. If God gave it to you then he has the final say...and Papa God wants the best for you.”

• "Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same"

• “The mind is the thing that we must stretch in order to broaden our reality and capabilities.”

• “Envious people will try to cripple the progress of others and stop it if possible. Rather than channel their energy into their own success they channel it into this very unproductive mind-set: backstabbing, sabotaging, destroying at every chance they get and spending their prime time on thinking about others instead of thinking of ways to improve their own situation.”

• “To be in awe and amazed at everyday things, to never get tired of seeing the new in the old, to appreciate nature in a new way every morning...for this I thank you Lord. Your greatness is truly manifested in your creation and it is in that creation that I find peace and comfort.”

• “The beginning of the year is usually filled with renewed hope and energy. But this energy has to be focused and channelled towards something if it is to achieve anything worthwhile. Clear goals provide this focus. Don't just wish for a good year, plan and work towards it. It is in your hands and in your power to do so.”

• “If you haven't already done so, now is a good time to work on your goals for the year. What are the three biggest things you absolutely must achieve this year? Write them down. Make a plan to achieve them. Don't leave it to chance. Complete this sentence: "failing to plan is...”
