Inspirational – To offer something valuable, uplifting which motivates others to bring out the best in themselves.

To be inspirational is to lead by example and encourage others to feel there is something worthwhile to become and do.

Characteristics of Inspirational People

• Self-giving rather than selfish
• Humility rather than pride. This is not a false humility which makes people stay in the background. But, when they act, it is with a sense of oneness and not a superiority or inferiority.
• Courage. Courage to do the right thing, whatever society thinks
• Principles – Acting out of principles for good rather than material gain.
• Happiness – Inspirational people make the world a better place and make people feel more positive.
• Vision – Inspirational People have a vision and help turn hope into reality.

Inspirational quotes and motivational sayings have an amazing ability to change the way we feel about life. This is why I find them so interesting and crucial on our paths to success.

So what’s their secret?

You see, the way you think and feel about yourself, including your beliefs and expectations about what is possible for you, determines everything that happens to you.

When you change the quality of your thinking, you change the quality of your life, sometimes instantly. Just as positive words can make someone smile or a well-timed humorous quote can make someone laugh, our thoughts react to the world in real-time.

You have complete control over only one thing in the universe — your thinking – and that’s where motivational quotes come in!
