Daily Inspirational Thoughts

Daily Inspirational Thoughts

I have a list of daily inspirational thoughts that help to motivate - and inspire - me. I hope you find them useful, too.

You have to make the decision to be a different kind of person before you can take different actions.

Recognize that being you is a good thing.

The fact that you are here, that there is a "you", is proof that you have meaning, a purpose, and that you are significant.

The instant you shift into a happy state of being, you have become truly, effectively productive in being you.

The power of being in bliss is that it allows for new thoughts and actions to come to the surface.

If we all smile just one more time today and if we all get just one other person to smile, imagine the chain reaction.

When you are afraid, find courage. It gives you the power to choose how you will grow out of the fear.

Being afraid allows fear to control your life. Bravery thwarts fear.

When you are afraid, remember that fear is often just cloaking a golden opportunity.

When I give in to fear, then fear has me on a leash. Yanking me back from exploring and running with a new dream.

Remember that fear is merely a thought.

Practice saying to yourself, "When I am afraid, I choose to handle it by being brave. Fear is merely an idea."

You forgive others, so why not forgive yourself?

Taking even the smallest of steps towards what you want is tremendously powerful.

Use the present to enjoy the moment and build your future. Leave the past in the past.

I had forgotten the very simple order of things: think first, then feel. The feelings that I have are the outcome of thinking the way that I am thinking.

If I let money control whether or not I could do something, then I would have experienced nothing.

Fear is what we default to when we don't have enough knowledge, resources, or passion.

Luckily, our default settings can always be changed.

Ask yourself, "If I wasn't afraid, then what would I do?". THAT is the action you should take.

Money has always shown up once I have gotten started. The only time money hasn't shown up is when I think I don't have and then I don't take action.

Start your dream. Once you start, you will have more choices and opportunities than you can think of before you started.

It is not money or the right connections or luck that is lacking; it is courage.

Spend time cultivating your kindness, love, hope, and humor. They are your inner garden.

Be joyous in who you are. Celebrate it!

Stop thinking about all the things you have to do to improve yourself and your life. Instead, think about all the wonderful things that you already are.

All the things that I can't measure: love, happiness, knowledge, joy - these are the things that make my life. Money just services it.

It's true in life that I have been wounded, but I have always kept walking.

We are all born with greatness.

It's a funny thing that when I accept that I have weaknesses, actually feel stronger.

Petting a dog. The soft, happy look in his eyes is a reflection of what I feel in my heart.

When I am "on purpose", I see time differently. I no longer chase the future, but instead enjoy the present.

All that you have been seeking outside of yourself, you already are.

I hope you enjoyed some of my favorite Daily Inspirational Thoughts and I hope they are useful for you, too. Take 20 minutes and try writing your own Daily Inspirational Thoughts list!

After Years of Misery from Anxiety and Depression, I Gained My Life Back

Exhausted? Stressed-out? Overwhelmed?

Hi,

Courtney here, author of this site. When I developed anxiety and depression, I went to a psychologist, a psychiatrist and a physician, and to be truthful, in my experience, these people couldn't really help.Therapy sessions, yoga and getting more exercise lessened my anxiety symptoms, but did not stop them for good.

In fact, I later learned that because I was living in a constant state of low-level stress and anxiety, the chemicals in my brain had changed, making me more anxious and depressed. Clearly, merely managing my symptoms was not enough - in fact, following "the doctor's orders" made things worse....
