Welcome to your

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Prayerful "self-motivation" can be one of the tools that God uses to help move you from an ordinary life to an extraordinary life.

I hope you are already receiving our "Debt Free Living God's Way, Life and Financial Coaching Newsletter." This is a tool that combines motivational and practical, Bible-based life and financial principles and practical applications. As part of this newsletter series, we often share quotes from well-known and not-so-well-known folks.

What we are going to do on this part of our Web site is to simply list some of the best motivational quotes we come across.

I believe you will find that sometimes great wisdom can come from very few words. Sometimes the smallest quote can hit home and help you focus on changing your focus and your habits. This could be the start you need to move from where you are to where God wants you to be in a way that's pleasing to Him.

Each week we will add one or several new quotes to the NEW QUOTES section at the TOP of this page. All prior quotes will follow in the PREVIOUS QUOTES section.So,

PRAYERFULLY read and enjoy. As always, I would appreciate your feedback AND any great motivational quotes that God has used in your life to help change your life.
