Twelve Inspiring Quotes and Thoughts To Guide Us
All that we are is the result of what we have thought, said the revered philosopher Buddha. 
Indeed, the world is our mental creation, for the reason that the thoughts that we constantly hold in our minds create the conditions by which we manage our life, our business affairs and everyday dealings.
Today I compiled inspirational quotes from great and famous thinkers to give us food for thoughts. These quotes offer advice, while others motivate us, give us new perspectives and encourage us to think, grow and keep going.
Here’s the twelve inspiring quotes that I like and am sharing here.
1.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. – Mark Twain
2.
In bed my real love has always been the sleep that rescued me by allowing me to dream. – Luigi Pirandello
3.
Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
4.
People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily. – Zig Ziglar
5.
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. – T. S. Eliot
6.
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. — Buddha
7.
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
8.
You are surrounded by simple, obvious solutions that can dramatically increase your income, power, influence and success. The problem is, you just don’t see them. – Jay Abraham
9.
If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place. – Nora Roberts
10.
Begin with the end in mind. – Stephen Covey
11.
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy. – Kahlil Gibran
12.

I really love the Mark Twain quote because I think I have sailed away from my safe harbor and now live a daily adventure in the Philippines. Some people (in America and the Philippines, though Filipinos are too polite to say it) think I am crazy for doing it. ” Explore. Dream. Discover.” I’m doing it all here.
I am familiar with some of these great quotes. I love the most from Ralph Waldo Emerson’s and Steven Covey’s. Mark Twain’s quote is nice as well.
Have a wonderful start of the week!
These are really quite inspirational quotes Eli. I’ve been quoting quote #9 before, I never knew it was Nora Roberts’.
