With the so many things to attend to everyday, either in office or at home, somehow i feel so mechanical with the daily routine, until i struck with an email from someone i rarely communicate with, and i guess, sometime the most inspiring message comes from someone or something you expected the least. It says, "Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain." Now i know why sometime i feel so tired with daily routine and find it monotonous. I forgot to find enjoyment & fulfillment in working, no matter how easy/hard it maybe.

I think all of us receive these messages at one time or another. The important part is whether we're alert enough to grasp the meaning. They come from everywhere, the line in a song, a sentences from a book or a stranger talking to someone else. What we don't seem to understand is that these messages seem to come exactly when we need them most. Little tidbits of information that can make our day just a wee bit easier. They help us to see things in a whole new light. What I call a "Light Bulb Moment", just like in the cartoons.

Regardless how such inspirational message came to us, it motivates us. Thank you for sharing with me and God bless you more!

"LIFE ISN'T ABOUT HOW TO SURVIVE THE STORM, BUT HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN"
wow that's nice...
Thanks for sharing it... Sometimes, I receive some inspirational sms from my family and friends...encounter some in emails and youtube or some in TV and books.... loads of inspiring messages but not all of them would touch your heart...
so when I encounter them, i make it a point to collect them down in a notebook... I read them once in a while to keep myself motivated... ^_^

Everytime I attend mass in our office.They have a small box in a corner that contains a inspirational message. You can pick one or as many as you want then you can also give it or share it to others.

I receive at least one everyday from a friend who texts me. Sometimes reading them can really make a change, it can lighten my day and help lift my spirits up. I sometimes get them also from emails, they are much better because they have graphics and what I do is send them also to my other friends so that they can also be enlightened. :)

It is very true that we people forget the real meaning of life and just be like money earning robots . The one i got recently is "If u ve built castles in the air , your work need not be lost ; that is where they should be . Now put foundations under them ". I get messages like this quite rarely...:)

Hi lhenpaule,
Its really nice to have an inspritational message,it does not matter whether one is really in need of the advice or not, actually most of us indeed very very tried and insecured on many counts of our life from lots of points of view,hence it is really an welcome inspirational messages all the time at least for me.
Wish you and to all of us mylotters to have such Inspirational messages and our life gets started in a positive manner,wish you a good life.

I do love inspirational messages,actually,i have a compilation of these inpirational qoutes and messages.Why?Because at times in my life,i feel so blank of doing something and needs a harsh decision without knowing it.So before i start my day i prefer to read my inspirational message/qoutations and in so many times i found an answer to questions i hardly answer.

Have you noticed that an inspirational message is truly inspirational only when you very much down on your chips? Be it mobile or the email messages do instill the inspiration only certain times and not always. Yours could be such an instance though it wasn't very serious to be noted
