Inspiration Point: Sharing words that motivate and inspire...
I have always been drawn to reading inspirational stories. I especially love to learn and memorize inspirational quotes.
The other day I read a new one:
"Act the way you want to feel"
In a nutshell, it was describing the fact that people, from a very early age are "typecast" into specific roles. For instance:
"You're the smart one" "You're lazy." "You're a procrastinator." "You're disorganized."
So...based on the quote above, if you want to be (feel) organized, then "act organized". Eventually, you will feel and be organized.
Why don't you add an inspirational quote that has motivated you. It would be great if we could learn some inspirational Spanish quotes. What could be better than to be motivating ourselves with good thoughts and learning Spanish vocabulary simultaneously?
Learning a new language is a difficult job....we all need a little inspiration to keep us going!!

Also, never tell your child to behave. Many parents tell their children to be themselves. Then when the children are being themselves, the parents turn around and tell them to behave. This can be quite confusing for a child receiving these mixed signals from their parent especially if they have never met Have.

A quote I once saw on a bookmark for teenagers in a Christian bookshop
But hopefully even those for whom the idea of a faith in a God whom they cannot see is distasteful will recognise the need to stand up for what they believe in even when others disagree with them.

I used to be intolerant, selfish, immodest and always putting my foot in it, but I got over that and now I am perfect.
To come back to what I said before:
Help yourself and heaven will help you.

I always thought this was said in the bible, but....anyway, it fits fine here

"Why choose failure when success is an option?"
Leí esta en la playa hoy:
Actions are the blossoms of my thoughts and joy or suffering are its fruits.
My interpretation:
Our actions are a direct result of our thoughts. Our actions will produce either good things or bad things. If we control our thoughts in a positive way, our actions will reflect this and we will bring forth good results.
If I choose to be positive and hopeful that I will one day be fluent in Spanish, I will act upon these thoughts by working towards this goal every day. The end result...fluency.
