Inspiring Quotes to elevate the energy in your home!

Elevate the vibration in your home by posting some or all of these inspiring quotes in unobtrusive, but visible locations in your home; for example, on the refrigerator, bathroom mirror or even on the dashboard of your car. When your kids observe how you collect and post inspirational, educational, motivational quotes, they will begin to do the same. (They really will!)

It's valuable and even important for us to have our collection of quotes, little stories that keep us moving on, "thinking on these things...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things." ~~St. Paul

I hope you'll find some of these exactly what you'd like to add to your collection!

A cloud does not know why it moves in

just such a direction and at such a speed,

It feels an impulsion...

this is the place to go now.

But the sky knows the reasons and the

patterns behind all clouds,

and you will know, too,

when you lift yourself high enough to see beyond horizons.

--Richard Bach, Illusions

"Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.

I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe's couplets:

'Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.

Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.'"

--from The Scottish Himalayan Expedition by W.H. Murray (J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd., 1951)

IF I HAD MY CHILD TO RAISE OVER AGAIN

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I'd finger paint more, and point the finger less.

I'd do less correcting, and more connecting.

I'd take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I'd take more hikes and fly more kites.

I'd stop playing serious and seriously play.

I'd run through more fields and gaze at more stars.

I'd do more hugging and less tugging.

I would be firm less often and affirm much more.

I'd build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I'd teach less about the love of power and more about the power of love.

--Diane Loomans, Author of The Lovables in the

Kingdom of Self-Esteem

All things by immortal power

Near or far,

Hiddenly

To each other linked are,

That Thou canst not stir a flower

Without troubling of a star.

Wink with both our eyes

is easier than to think.
