Introduction

Welcome to the BIG Book of Inspiring Quotes!

As you read through these inspiring and motivating quotes, think about the fact that these

statements have made by so many different individuals who lived during vastly different times -

past and present. Each of these individuals is a great success in their own right! Each of them is

saying similar encouraging, inspiring words for you to hear.

Each of them, like you, followed regular steps on the path to their own goals and dreams. And

they made it! Not because they are smart or well connected or lucky (even though some of them

may be those things). They made it because they did not stop until they made it!

As you read these quotes meant to inspire you to keep going and never give up, remember that

you are in great company! If you are pursuing your goals and dreams at all (in any way, shape or

form) then you are absolutely on the right path.


Be Inspired & Take Action

Your Dreams Are Waiting For You!

With the idea of supporting you to live with passion, inspiration and to pursue the life of your

dreams, we would like to suggest a few possible ways of using this book as a tool to help anchor

you and also catapult you toward your magnificent goals and dreams!

One approach is perhaps for you to flip through the quotes and decide which one(s) resonate with

you most each day. Which of these quotes can you embrace in any given moment of your day (or

for the entire day) to fuel some tangible action steps to move closer to your goals and dreams? Or

perhaps another approach is the way we love to do it; we flip through the quotes with our eyes

closed and stop when it feels right. Then we gently open our eyes and allow them to settle upon

the perfect quote chosen for us today by the Universe! Yippee!

If you haven’t yet started on your path toward manifesting your most passionate and inspired

life, it’s OK! All you need to do is take steps – baby steps, big steps (sometimes even backward

steps!), ANY steps that move you from where you are right now in the general direction of your

goals and dreams. The Universe is aligned with you. The Universe will work its magic, miracles,

serendipities and “coincidences” on your behalf, if you allow it to simply by doing your part.

Have you ever heard the story about the person who prayed every day to win the lottery and

finally after weeks of not winning, when he kneeled to pray yet another day, he heard the voice

of God say, “Help me out – buy a ticket!”


There Is Nothing More Powerful

Than Inspired Action!

If you would like to “ride the wave” of inspiration you feel from these powerful quotes and move

yourself further on your path, think about or jot down a short list of tangible steps you can take

today. What can you do today to get just one step closer to your goals and dreams? A phone call?

Some research? Telling a trusted friend about your goals and dreams? Asking someone for help?

Accepting an invitation to an event (where you might serendipitously meet the perfect new

resource)? Getting a coach or putting a support system in place to help you? Treating yourself to

a “tank filling” luxury? Meditation? Visualization? All these things (and so many more) qualify

as action toward your goals and dreams!

It doesn’t matter whether you take a baby step or a big step. As Mike Dooley (www.tut.com)

says, just do “whatever you can from where you are with what you’ve got.” Trust him, us and all

the magnificent people on these pages - it’s enough!

You’ve got the magic and power of the unlimited Universe co-creating with you!

After working with this book if you’d like some consistent guidance and support in taking daily

inspired action toward your goals and dreams, please visit us at

We would be honored to welcome you into our family and share our powerful and life changing

courses with you.

Live the life of your dreams! It’s not only possible - it’s your birthright!
