Articles by Veronica Hay

When I woke up this morning I felt extremely tired and a little discouraged.

I was in need of some inspiration and  support and so I went through my journal and came across some encouraging quotes, which made me instantly feel much better. I just needed a gentle reminder and nudge that life is good. So, I thought I would share these sayings with you. I hope they make a difference in your life today.

If you have any favorite encouraging quotes of your own, please share them with us here in the comments section below. Thank you.

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk,
if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you
have to keep moving forward.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

The dreamers are the saviors of the world.
As the visible world is sustained by the invisible,
so men, throughout all their trials and troubles,
are nourished by the beautiful visions of their dreamers.
Humanity cannot forget its dreamers;
it cannot let their ideals fade and die.
It lives in them; it knows them as the realities
which it shall one day see and know. ~ James Allen

Those are a success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
who have gained the respect of intelligent people and the love of children,
who have filled their niche and accomplished their task,
who leave the world better than they found it,
whether by a perfect poem or a rescued soul;
who never lacked appreciation of the earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
who looked for the best in others and gave the best they had.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Always be a first-rate version of yourself,
instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.
~ Judy Garland

Life is a big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can. ~ Danny Kaye

Love grows by giving. The love we give away is the only love we keep.
The only way to retain love is to give it away. ~ Elbert Hubbard

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.
Attitude to me, is more important than facts.
It is more important than past, than education,
than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes,
than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, gifted ability, or skill.
It will make or break a company, a church, a home.

The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday
regarding the attitude we will embrace from that day.
We cannot change our past, we cannot change
the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable.
The only thing that we can do is play on the one
string that we have and this string is, Attitude.
I am convinced that life is ten percent what happens to me
and ninety percent how I react to it. And so it is with you….
We are in charge of our Attitudes.
~ Charles Swindoll

You don’t get to choose how you’re going to die. Or when.
But you can decide how you’re going to live now.
~ Joan Baez
