Finding Inspiration

inspirational poems

Sometimes all of us hit all-time low & require a tiny help. Encouragement poems are a great way to rekindle the spark & motivate us to get up & get going again in the face of adversity. They inspire, yet do not preach, which is of the reasons they are so popular.

Sometimes obstacles loom before us like mountain ranges gigantic to cross. These are of the best inspiring poems to embrace you in a massive poetic hug & give you the bravery & hope to persevere.

There's thousands to tell you it cannot be done,
There's thousands to prophesy failure;
There's thousands to point out to you after the other,
The dangers that wait to assail you.
But buckle in with a tiny bit of a smirk,
 take off your coat & go to it;
 start to sing as you tackle the thing
That "cannot be done," & you'll do it.

Following is a tiny excerpt from Edgar A. Guest's poem It Could not Be Done

"It Cannot Be Done"? Says who, right? reading an encouragement poem like this gives you the bravery to do what your heart tells you to do & to follow your dream. It is lighthearted in its delivery but serious in its message not to permit yourself to be brought down by other people's limited thinking.

It is so tempting sometimes, to require to pack it in & quit, when the burdens are  much to bear. This inspiring poem is the helping hand to get you to stand up, dust yourself off & keep going toward your objective. It covers lots of people's common issues of finances, lack of motivation when the going gets hard, issues in overcoming fear, discouragement due to setbacks & belief in a positive outcome.

Several other nice inspirational poems for motivating you to overcome adversity are:

  Don't Quit ~ Author Unknown. Most people succeed when they persist....no matter what the odds. In the event you read any success story, you will find that success often resulted right after hitting all-time low or overcoming the largest hurdle of the journey. The Don't Quit poem reminds you of this fact. As a matter of fact, this poem is of the most referenced there is. I personally carryover it in my wallet to lift my spirits & re-fuel my resolve when necessary.
  Step at a Time ~ by Joseph Morris. The most difficult step in any journey is the first - the decision to start. This encouragement poem boosts your bravery to start what initially looks like a daunting task. Go for it! There is no way to accomplish everything all without delay. It truly is a matter of single steps, after the other. One time you have started, taking the next step, & the next, becomes simpler as you go.
