We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
~~ Henry David Thoreau

Free Motivational Sayings

Free Motivational SayingsOut for a quiet walk after putting the children to bed, a young mother was exhausted and could barely lift her head to smell the fresh night air. She was hoping that some free motivational sayings would pop into her mind and lift her mood.

Then an elderly gentleman, also out walking, approached her and said: “I’d be glad to help you look for it.” The woman was mystified at the offer until she realized that she’d been walking with her head down as though she’d lost a piece of jewelry and hoped to find it. The free motivational sayings did not pop into her mind, but the kindness of the gentleman did.

“I haven’t lost anything. I’m just tired to the bone,” she said. “I need something besides a walk. I was hoping some free motivational sayings would pop into my head.”

The man quietly said: “Look up, my dear, not down. Free motivational sayings aren’t found in the dirt or on the sidewalk, they are found in the beauty of the sky, the trees, the sunlight, the stars and in the eyes of your fellowman.”

Immediately the words of a song she’d just been singing to her children popped into her mind.  Free motivational sayings at their best, for sure.

For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light.

As you can imagine, she went home with renewed faith that she could handle any situation and filled with gratitude for her beautiful family.
