      INTRODUCTION

      As a caring parent it is important to instill in your children the right positive mindset and attitude. This not only impacts the way your child interprets the world around them but also helps guide them to becoming confident, resilient and happy individuals.

      Inspiring quotes have long helped people strive to achieve more in life. In fact the right words and advice have the power to make you think and are instrumental in changing lives. But here’s the thing – kids and teens don’t always understand what they mean. Some instead see them as if they are a cryptic puzzle impossible to solve.

      Hence this book – here you will find a compilation of 200 inspiring quotes specifically tailored to kids and teens, with its meaning explained in simple, easy to understand language.

      Your child can choose to read this book whenever they need inspiration, motivation, support or guidance. It provides a simple reminder of just how special and unique we all are and how the world is our oyster, for anyone with the right attitude and passion for life.

      1.

      Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

      Theodore Roosevelt

      Sometimes people waste a lot of time waiting for the perfect moment to get started. But the perfect moment is NOW. Just do whatever you can do right now and you will often find that things will fall into place.

      2.

      You always pass failure on the way to success.

      Mickey Rooney

      On the way to success you are going to make mistakes and IT’S OKAY! Failure is to be expected and embraced because that is how we learn – from making errors and learning what does and doesn’t work. We all make mistakes – it’s nothing to be embarrassed, anxious or nervous about.

      3.

      No one is perfect – that’s why pencils have erasers.  

      Wolfgang Riebe

      No-one is perfect – NO-ONE. Not your parents or any celebrity, no scientist, doctor or even your friends.

      But that’s fine because we are not here to be perfect humans – we are here to live and experience life. We all make mistakes so remember to be kind and love yourself just like you would be kind and love others.

      4.

      Only surround yourself with people who will lift you higher. 

      Oprah Winfrey

      You may have some friends who say they are your friend but they don’t really act like it. Or maybe you know some people who always make you feel sad, mad or bad.

      It’s important to surround yourself with people who bring out the best in you. If your friends believe in you and make you feel good then they are a good choice for a friend. 

      5.

      The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.

      Dr Seuss

      Knowledge is power. When you keep learning you open the door to so many more opportunities. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the world to succeed but if you keep your brain active and follow your dreams there’s a good chance you will eventually get there.

      6.

      Better an oops than a what if?

      Beau Taplin

      There is nothing wrong with an oops. It shows you were willing to try. A what if? on the other hand usually equals regret and disappointment. But it is far better to try, make a mistake and learn from it rather than never knowing what you are capable of achieving. 

      7.

      There is a voice inside of you that whispers all day long, I feel that this is right for me, I know that this is wrong. No teacher, preacher, parent, friend or wise man can decide what’s right for you – just listen to the voice that speaks inside.

      Shel Silverstein

      That voice inside your head often knows what is best for you. It will give you the answer if you ask the question: "what is the right thing to do? You have a conscience and intuition – they are there to guide you. So listen to the voice inside your head.  It usually knows the best thing for you to do.

      8.

      Why fit in when you were born to stand out?

      Dr. Seuss

      Kids spend a lot of time trying to fit in without realizing its okay to stand out. We are all individuals with something special to offer the world. You have your own thoughts, own feelings, own loves and dislikes so don’t be afraid to honor them and do what is best for you.

      Just remember it’s okay to be different. After all it’s the things that make you different that make you special.

      9.

      Never waste a minute thinking of anyone you don’t like.

      Dwight D. Eisenhower

      Mean and unkind people - or anyone who treats you bad - aren’t worth thinking about. Your thoughts belong to you and they are extremely powerful.

      So choose to focus on the good things in your life instead of the bad. Pretend these non-friends are just a terrible TV show and switch your thoughts about them to OFF.

      10.

      If you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.

      Unknown

      Things that weigh you down are anything that makes you feel bad – this includes stress, worry, fear, guilt, unkind friends, lack of confidence or anything else that makes feel like you can’t be your true self.

      If you want to fly – which means to feel free, as if you could reach the stars and do great things, then you need to learn to let go of everything that makes
