Best Inspirational Paragraphs and Sentences for Someone Special
1. It’s All About You
If circumstance had the power to bless or harm, they would bless and harm all men alike, but the fact that the same circumstances will be alike good and bad to different souls proves that the good or bad is not in the circumstance, but only in the mind of him that encounters it.
2. Your Mind Determines Your Worth
What does the lion think of when he sees an elephant? Myles Munroe asked.
When the lion looks at an elephant, the word that comes to his mind is lunch, he doesn’t see with his eyes but with his mind, because he has no sense of limitation and that proves the principle of difference right, between a leader and follower, successful and failure, you are as big or as small as you see yourself(in the mind).

7. End And Means
Ends and means are inseparable, ends actually preexist in the means. The means used to accomplish the ends are as important as those ends. The end does not justify the means, an end being accomplished through unprincipled or unworthy means will destroy us. If we reach an admirable end through the wrong means, the ends ultimately turn to dust in your hands.

10. You Need the Process
People want the money but not the process. What many people do not realize is that it’s the process that makes them rich, not the money.

One of the most important characteristics of leaders, and the most successful people in every area of life is that they know who they are, what they believe in, and what they stand for.

Men and women who become leaders, on the other hand, with the same or even fewer abilities and opportunities, go on to great accomplishments in whatever they attempt.

Your purpose is what you’d rather be doing, your purpose is what you would do without being paid for it, your purpose is the thing that won’t leave you alone, your purpose is the desire that makes your job frustrating.

And note this, don’t make the mistake of asking the thing its purpose, if you want to know the purpose of a thing, never ask the thing, the purpose is not found in the thing, it is in the mind of the one who made it. If you don’t know why something exists, you’ll abuse it, that includes your life, if you don’t know why you exist, you’ll abuse your life. Everything exists for a purpose, for a reason. And lastly God is the manufacturer of all created things, that means He has a purpose for everything.
