Inspirational quotes are more than words. Words that breathe inspiration are meant for ignition. Think of inspiring words as a spark to fan into flame creativity, imagination, and to achieve a passion that is truly yours to go after. It’s amazing what a little bit of encouragement can do for our souls. See if any of these 10 inspirational quotes get you going.
Why words matter
When we’re inspired, fear and doubt are exchanged for excitement and clarity. Our minds imagine, emotions flutter, and at times our bodies react. Things happen when the right combination of words speaks to us. We are all unique people, motivated by a variety of different things. Finding what combination of words motivates you is often key to understanding more about who God made you to be.
Some of the most powerful words are the simplest words, like ‘Thank You’ or ‘Good job’. How does it make you feel when you hear, “Keep up the good work!” or “I believe in you”? What about “You’re really smart”, or “You’re full of creativity”? One of my favorites is “I appreciate you.” What about “I understand.”?
When you find a great quote, don’t keep it to yourself, share it on your social platforms or it to others. Words go a long way.
