Inspirational Quote of the Day

January 28, 2011 by Joi 8 Comments

Book links are usually affiliate links. This means I earn a small percentage when you click through and buy the book. This costs you nothing extra - it simply allows me to keep my cats in the lifestyle they're accustomed to.

He only is advancing in life whose heart is getting softer, whose blood warmer, whose brain quicker, and whose spirit is entering into living peace. And the men who have this life in them are the true lords and kings of the earth–they, and they only. – John Ruskin

I LOVE the first part of the quote above: “He only is advancing in life whose heart is getting softer, whose blood warmer, whose brain quicker, and whose spirit is entering into living peace…”  Spend a little time today with this quote, let it sink in deep in the places it most needs to resonate.

As far as inspirational quotes go, this one’s a real beaut.

    I don’t think of myself as advancing, if anything lately I’ve found myself moving backwards.. at least in a stand-still. I’ve been questioning the purpose of my life and what my life really is about. But I’m trying to make progress in this, so in a sense I am advancing because at least I’m aware of this void in my life now =)

    These are really great lines, I personally feel that after reading lines like this something hit on our mind but soon we forget them and start behaving like earlier we used to do.

    Henway,
    It’s a constant, everyday journey, isn’t it? It can be kind of hard to gauge during December, January, and February. Even those of us who are certain we aren’t affected by winter doldrums or SAD can have subtle side effects.

    Very often, when the warmer weather rolls into town, it brings our optimism back with it!

    Shailender,
    I\’m afraid you\’re right. Many times we\’re motivated and inspired for the moment, but then life happens and it passes! That\’s why I write down my absolute favorite inspirational and motivational quotes and pin them to my cork board or leave them on index cards in places I\’ll see them.

    After a while, they sort of become ingrained in my mind and tattooed on my heart – this way I\’m able to recall them when I need them the most!
