InspirationalMessages
Words have the power to motivate and inspire.
Wars have started and ended because of a carefully or hastily
selected group of words.
Cruel words can forever break the
strongest friendship and cut family ties.
Kind words can mend a broken heart and
heal a wounded soul.
Words can create fear, hostility, hatred, envy, mistrust, animosity, cruelty and
despair.
Words can also inspire hope, creativity, love, friendship, trust, kindness, civility,
selflessness and charity.
When you wield the power of words, do you use your power for good or evil?
This year we are going to explore the questions:
"How do I make the world a better place?"
"How can I have a postive impact?"
Our challenge begins in THIS classroom!
How can we use the power of words to inspire and motivate each other to
improve our world?
Because I will never ask you to do something that
I am not willing to do myself, here are some examples of
inspirational messages:
