Food for the Soul

My truth is that inspirational quotes are not cliché when you actually apply them to your life.  As we Facebook and Twitter through life, we are sometimes bombarded by inspirational quotes and sayings that we pass off as nice to read, but not applicable to real life or we judge people who share these quotes as being too upbeat or optimistic to the point of being an annoyance.  My question is, “Why don’t we take these sayings to heart and actually apply them to our own lives?” Typically, these inspirational quotes are words of wisdom that the authors have applied to their own lives that have lead them to success and fulfillment, yet we dismiss their validity.

What would happen if you gathered all of the inspirational quotes that inspire you, put them in a pot and let them simmer as you breathed them in and adopted them as your life principles?  It would be a mixing pot filled with food for the soul made from the finest ingredients shared by the most successful and wise individuals who have given you the gift of their wisdom harvested through their life experience.  It would then be your choice whether or not to partake in the meal that is being offered as nourishment.  Feel full by mindfully choosing to BELIEVE in those principles for your life and FEEDING yourself each day with words of WISDOM that INSPIRE you.

By associating with wise people, you will become wise yourself.
