Quotes to Inspire

I’d like to offer you something a little different this week. Instead of hearing words of inspiration from me you’ll get to hear them from twenty different people!

I cast the net around for some lesser known \’quotes to inspire\’ that would not be out of place in the reference library of any good life coach … and I chose twenty of my favourites that I\’ve listed below in random order.

Read the words carefully. The advice imparted in each quote is out of all proportion to the number of words it contains!

I hope you enjoy them!
