Aspire to Inspire

There will be days when we feel discouraged, days when we feel that everything we do is meaningless, hopeless, and we find that everything is a struggle. During such moments, all we need is some words of understanding, some words of encouragement to keep us going.

Take a note of the following for days when you feel you need a motivational or inspirational boost. Or you can bear these in mind, and use them for the people around you who you feel are in need of some motivation or inspiration.
