Inspirational
quotes is the topic of the post on the blog ‘Thought for
the day’ today. I have already talked about importance of inspiration and how
to get it daily. Now, I want to give you some quotes that might inspire you. I
will also give short comments of mine under each quote. I hope these can give
you uplifted emotional states when you feel down. Come back to the post from
time to time for I will be updating it as often as I can.
1. “There’s no
next time. It’s now or never” by unknown author.
It is very common for us to postpone everything for
next time. By doing that we fail to do things we know we have to do today. In
this way a heap of not done stuff piles up. Let us not deceive ourselves and
let us save our time, for we have a very limited amount of it.
2. “Success
demands singleness of purpose” by Vincent
Lombardi.
It is difficult to achieve success if you are
scattered and have too many goals in life. You cannot divide your energy into
so many parts and expect to succeed in all your endeavors. You need to
concentrate all of your energy for a single purpose and use it for achieving
it.
3. “The great
blessing of mankind are within us and within our reach; but we shut our eyes,
and like people in the dark, we fall foul upon the very thing we search for,
without finding it” by Seneca.
People fail to find the
blessings that Seneca talks about because they are searching in the wrong
place. It is our attitude that attracts those blessings to us and only by the
power of our faith we can get those without much sweating.
4. “The
biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams” by Oprah Winfrey.
Living life of your dreams is
probably one of the most topical questions in modern society. Everybody wants
to go after his dreams. And we should. It won’t be easy, but your life will
never be boring, for you will be doing what you want, not what you have to do.

5. “Live out
of your imagination, not your history “by Stephen Covey.
By living from the past you rely only on your past
experience, but as life is in everlasting progress you should adapt your past
experiences to the current situation. Imagination helps you to do that. Those
who use the powerful tool, rule the world.
6. “You can
never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore”
by Christopher Columbus.
Yep, shores provide us with a sense of security.
They are our comfort zones. We know every stone on our shores. We may even know
every fish that swims there. Ok, joking. There is nothing really wrong with our
shores. The problem might be with us, who are in love with those shores that
much that we are afraid to sail to open waters and find some unknown land that
might become ours one day.
7. Teacher of physics to a lazy student:”Are you still breathing? I will turn of your
oxygen balloon”. The student passed the future exam very well.
8. “You gotta

even more to stand up to your friends” by J.K. Rowling.
17. “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at
the end of the day saying, “I will try tomorrow” by Mary Anne Radmacher.
18. “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and
become more, you are a leader” by John Quincy Adams.
19. “Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character” by Albert
Einstein.
