Inspiration
for Motivation
While
the Thanksgiving holiday is a great occasion for feasting, I truly believe that we must not
forget the reason underlying the celebration.
This week, I offered to substitute for a friend, Dr. Brandon Lemuel at a regular
Wednesday morning meeting of local business people where FAMILY Magazine is a member. Dr. Brandon (as we call him) provides a
motivational quote every Wednesday to the group. I volunteered because he will
miss the meeting this week. He is going to be with
family for Thanksgiving. I thought it would be
enjoyable to search for a good quote to share with our Wednesday group.
Little
did I know what an experience this search would be. Dr. Brandon is always in a
great mood and greets everyone on Wednesday with such enthusiasm. Now I know why. Searching for a good motivating quote to give
next Wednesday has been just down right FUN.
I have read some of the greatest quotes, I am in a great mood and I
can’t wait for Thanksgiving so I can give a great toast at our family
gathering.
But there is one problem, I found
too many motivational quotes. Now I can’t choose the best
one. So I decided to put my favorites on
my blog and share.
When
you gather around with friends and family for Thanksgiving
dinner, think of all the wonderful time you have spent together. It is good to
count your blessings, share your dreams and aspirations. Let those that love
you know your inner most goals.
The tradition of Thanksgiving dinner teaches us to appreciate the finer things in life. If you want this tradition to continue, you must invest positive energy into the Thanksgiving dinner, and make it a joyous affair. Let your enthusiasm and energy revitalize everyone. Prepare a great Thanksgiving toast and inspire others with your positive words. Make this your best Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some Thanksgiving quotes to help you create a memorable Thanksgiving.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.

Anne Frank
I do not think of all the misery, but of the glory that remains. Go outside into the fields, nature and the sun, go out and seek happiness in yourself and in God. Think of the beauty that again and again discharges itself within and without you and be happy.
Theodore Roosevelt
Let us remember that, as much has been given us, much will be expected from us, and that true homage comes from the heart as well as from the lips, and shows itself in deeds.
William Shakespeare
Small cheer and great welcome makes a merry feast.
Robert Quillen
If you count all your assets, you always show a profit.
Cicero
A thankful heart is not only the greatest virtue, but the parent of all the other virtues.

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.

Heap high the board with plenteous cheer and gather to the feast, And toast the sturdy Pilgrim band whose courage never ceased.
H. W. Westermayer
The pilgrims made seven times more graves than huts... nevertheless, set aside a day of thanksgiving.

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.
