Use Motivational Quotes To Achieve Success And Attain Goals

By Babet Koolwijk


Henry Ford had said that we are always right when we think whether we can or we can not. Thus, our attitude becomes the mental filter and through it we experience the world. When this filter is made up of optimism we see great many opportunities spread before us, can concentrate on the solutions, look for the good in others, and always count our blessings but when the filter is made up of pessimism the opportunities seem vanishing one by one before our eyes and we find ourselves helpless, often dwell on problems only, always find fault in others, and focus on what is missing.

Inspirational quotes are typically fragmentary thoughts, taken out of context, that are best used to get you thinking about their underlying meaning and about the big commitments and values of your life. As an example, let's take a look at President Franklin Roosevelt's quote, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror." Those words were a part of President Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address on March fourth 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression. But is it necessary to understand the context in order to appreciate the thought and apply it in your life? Not only is the context not necessary, but in my opinion, it actually makes it more difficult to focus the inspiration on your own issues around fear.

Motivational quotes are usually written or spoken by famous personalities from different walks of life. These quotes have come from religious texts, philosophical scriptures, or even from political figures and influential business personalities throughout time. Good quotes motivate and inspire us in our daily lives. They enable us to gain the confidence that is sometimes lacking within ourselves. The wisdom you gain is something that you can treasure forever.

There is often disagreement over the source of an inspirational quote. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. may or may not have said, ""Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Mark Twain quite likely did not say, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." Does it make an inspirational quote less meaningful or less inspirational because the author is unknown? For me, the value of inspirational quotes is mostly in the words, and how I can apply them to my own life, rather than in historical context. I find the Faith quote and the Twenty Years quote to be two of the most inspiring and motivating quotes I have found - whoever their authors may have been.

You can place sticky notes with quotes you find inspiring on your desk at your workplace and at home. This is a good way to utilize them on a daily basis. Place them in strategic locations within easy view. This will serve as a constant reminder to continue working towards your goals.Another way that motivational quotes can help us to gain motivation is to say them out loud, and write them down. More and more people are keeping a record of motivational quotes, and some maintain scrapbooks filled with these quotes in order to stay motivated.

No one in this world gets the bed of roses always. Many devastating things may happen to us. We may have to endure many sufferings. We all face tough times in our life. But our response to all these will determine our attitude and the good thing is that we have the right to choose the right attitude though it may not seem easy. We can get the needed inspiration from the motivational quotes and start to live our life as always we have dreamed about. Let the light come inside our window and we can use these empowering principles to reach our full potential, earn more money, increase our spiritual awareness, and have more satisfying relationships.

It is obvious that it is not necessary for everyone to like the given quotes in the best site. Few sites are glad to offer smaller number of quote with the best one that is available. It is not possible for you to like each quote that you read. If you came through some 200 quotes and you feel among that 100 is good, then that website definitely has some valuable inspirational quotes in them. Valuable and quality quotes in small number are better than huge number of uninspiring quotes. So, when searching for quotes look into websites that have less number of quality and inspirational quotes.

One of the other problems with motivational quotes is that everyone has heard them nowadays. There was a time when most of this stuff was original, but due to the speed of how things progress on the internet, most of the really good quotes are vastly overplayed, and seriously overuse.I think part of the reason is that a motivational quote sort of says something indirectly, or by implication that is more powerful, because it is describing something that you cant really put into words, rather liker parables.

In fact, you could buy several different daily calendars and rarely overlap with some of the popular quotes. So what this means is, you have a little bit of wiggle room to skip ahead on your daily calendar, in case you need a little extra motivating.When it comes down to it, you might not feel that you always need to be motivated. The truth is, that so many different people find so many different reasons to be motivated. People can really enjoy that when the chips are down, you can count on some encouraging words. For some, this is from family and friends, but for others, it is from some of these calendars loaded up with motivational quotes.You might also think about it this way: you are going to be better suited to deal with the problems of your friends as well. So when you read your daily quote, you might not realize that so many different folks were in need of hearing that particular bit of encouragement that day.
