    <title>Jun 21, My Sunday Blog : &lt;p&gt;Top Ten Inspirational Quotes&lt;/p&gt;</title>
    <link>http://www.cool-kids-rooms.com/Kids-rooms-blog.html#My-Sunday-Blog-:-&lt;p&gt;Top-Ten-Inspirational-Quotes&lt;/p&gt;</link>
    <description>Have you ever received a card and felt its sentiments shake you to the core? Have the words in a book ever reached out to tug at your heartstrings?

&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Inspirational quotes can infuse you with the motivation to take action toward your goals and live the life you desire.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;

You can use inspirational quotes on a daily basis to help you get up and get going in the morning, face your boss during a meeting, and even find the motivation to get physically active. 

There are plenty of awe-inspiring quotes you can call on when you need a pick-me-up. The more often you call upon motivational quotes, the more likely you will break through mental and emotional barriers that hold you hostage.

I&#39;d suggest you internalize these sayings so you can call upon them whenever you need a boost.

&lt;strong&gt;Here are ten inspirational quotes to spark your passion and bring you motivation:&lt;/strong&gt;

1.    &lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn&#39;t do than by the ones that you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; - Mark Twain

2.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Well done is better than well said.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Benjamin Franklin

3.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;- T.S. Elliot

4.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Take the first step in faith. You don&#39;t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;  - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

5.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;All that we are is the result of what we have thought.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Buddha

6.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;People often say that motivation doesn&#39;t last. Well, neither does bathing - that&#39;s why we recommend it daily. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;- Zig Ziglar

7.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Begin with the ending in mind.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Stephen Covey

8.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you don&#39;t go after what you want, you&#39;ll never have it. If you don&#39;t ask, the answer is always no. If you don&#39;t step forward, you&#39;re always in the same place.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Nora Roberts

9.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;i&gt;Experience is not what happens to a man, it is what a man does with what happens to him.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - Aldous Leonard Huxley

10.	&lt;strong&gt;&lt;&lt;i&gt;Don&#39;t go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;- Ralph Waldo Emerson

&lt;i&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You can use these quotes in your everyday life to help keep you motivated and inspired at every turn.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; You will find the greatest benefit if you deeply internalize the meaning behind these words sparking you into action. After all, words are nothing without action!


When you embrace the beauty and joys of both motivational quotes and positive imagery, you&#39;ll not only feel better, but you&#39;ll be more productive too!</description>

    <description>In an ideal world, our home is a place of peace away from the hectic outside world. Unfortunately, ideal worlds don&#39;t exist! 

In order to make your home a sanctuary, you have to put in a little effort, but thankfully, it&#39;s easier than you think.

Here are ten ways you can find peace in your home:

&lt;strong&gt;1.	Clear the Clutter.&lt;/strong&gt; Many people never feel at ease when they&#39;re at home because their home is disorganized. Of course, a cluttered environment leads to a cluttered mind, and a cluttered mind is a chaotic one. If you take one weekend to clear the clutter from your home, you&#39;ll feel an immediate difference in your peace level.

&lt;strong&gt;2.	Find a Hobby. &lt;/strong&gt;Sometimes it&#39;s boredom that gets the best of us when we&#39;re at home. When you have a hobby to turn to, you&#39;ll find that it&#39;s a lot easier to feel peaceful and fulfilled. 

&lt;strong&gt;3.	Turn on the music.&lt;/strong&gt; Listening to calming music will allow you to let go of the stress of the day and enjoy your time at home. Choose whatever kind of music you like, as long as it relaxes you.

&lt;strong&gt;4.	Leave your work at work. &lt;/strong&gt;If your home is an office away from the office, how can you ever find peace? Except for the rare occasion, leave your work at work, both physically and mentally. If you work from home, work in one dedicated space. Also, never work in the same room as you sleep, otherwise, you&#39;ll associate your bedroom as a workspace.

&lt;strong&gt;5.	Create time to decompress.&lt;/strong&gt; Do you rush home from work and immediately take on more responsibilities and chores? Instead, allow yourself even 10 or 15 minutes to relax and unwind before you begin tasks for the home. Doing so will mark a clear separation in your mind between work and home. 

	

&lt;strong&gt;6.	Use positive reinforcement.&lt;/strong&gt; When someone in your family does something to contribute to the peace, be sure to praise them to let them know you appreciate what they did. This will help foster more peace in the future!


&lt;strong&gt;7.	Pick your battles.&lt;/strong&gt; You could fight a lot about little, insignificant things, but is it worth it? Instead, choose only the most important transgressions to challenge.

&lt;strong&gt;8.	Cool off.&lt;/strong&gt; When you&#39;re involved in a conflict at home, give yourself some time to cool off. Doing so will help you calmly talk about your feelings and come to a resolution. Or perhaps you just may realize that the issue wasn&#39;t as big of a deal as you first thought.

&lt;strong&gt;Maintaining peace in your home is important to the health and well being of every family member. Use these tips to nurture a peaceful environment so your home is a joy to come home to!&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
