October Thoughts to Inspire

Just as the trees changing colors and letting go of their leaves are beautiful, so too can be the closing to this mind-blowing year. Usually in October I will post inspirational quotes that are fall related, about change, or about fear. We are going to post something a little different for the October Thoughts to Inspire. There are other important dates in October other than Halloween (which is what usually stands out).

It is also All Saints Day/Month.

For the October Thoughts to Inspire, I have chosen to share with you inspirational quotes from Saints. If not for the obvious presentation of it being the month of All Saints, but to reflect that our Saints sustained great suffering, and still managed to inspire others in spite of it. We can all learn from them, whether we are religious or not.

Some of the most influential figures of our time are Saints.

Whether you have a Christian background or not, there is no denying that these individuals were highly inspirational. You will notice that one of the most influential Saints that inspire so many people to this day, is not listed here. It is because in May I dedicated the Thoughts to Inspire to Mothers, and Mother Teresa inspires all of us to this day. To view some of her most powerful inspirational quotes, you can click here. I will also link to it again at the end of this post.
