Inspiration for Today

On days when I have felt non-motivated and simply blue, I have searched for words of inspiration to give me that push start to get my life moving and my mind sparked once again. Often times I have had to look far, only in vain. That's when I thought, why not make my own compilation of inspirational words that I can access anytime, and share with anyone whom requires that extra boost now and again. After all they do say "see a need, fill a need".

Pay attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.
