Aspire to Inspire

Do not underestimate the power of a kind word, or a few simple words of encouragement. Quite often, it is all that we need to get us through a bad patch, or the bad spot we are in. A timely word can open up a new perspective, and help change our attitude, mood, and maybe turn our world around.

I hope the following selections of aphorisms will nudge you along life’s journey, in your moment of doubt, when you most needed it.
