Feeling the need for some inspiration this morning, a Christmas present, Believe: The Words and Inspiration of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, made its way into my hand.

Believe – it all starts with that, doesn’t it? No matter the issue, problem, desire, or cause, your dreams and desires all begin with belief. The problem is, when you are down and out, it is really tough to  believe.

Perhaps the following quotes will inspire and encourage you as much as they did me…

1. The thing always happens that you really believe in; and the belief in a thing makes it happen. – Frank Lloyd Wright
2. You’ll see it when you believe it. – Wayne Dyer
3. We are what we believe we are. – C. S. Lewis
4. I can’t believe that God put us on this earth to be ordinary. – Lou Holtz
5. Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success. – Pablo Picass
6. When you believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionable. -Walt Disney
7. Believe you can and you’re halfway there. – Theodore Roosevelt
8. Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours. – Dale Carnegie
9. If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done. – Dale Carnegie
10. Before you can win, you have to believe you are worthy. – Mike Ditka
11. Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right. – Henry Ford
12. Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. – Norman Vincent Peale
13. Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe. – Norman Vincent Peale
14. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. – Eleanor Roosevelt
15. Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. – W. Clement Stone

Hmmm, there seems to be some magic in believing.
