Motivational quotes is the topic of the post on the blog ‘Thought for the day’ today. In times, when your vision gets blurred these words of encouragement can clear up your spiritual eyes and lift up your spirit to new highs. Come back from time to time to read the post for I will be updating it as often as I can. Enjoy these motivational quotes!
1. “Small
opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises” by Demosthenes.
Hardly ever a great thing has a really great
beginning. It very often is otherwise, most beginnings that turn to great
enterprises look pathetic at the start and nobody is willing to contribute to
those. I think that is one of the reasons why things that are great today are
really great. There is nothing great if a great thing becomes a little greater,
but if a miserably looking thing develops and grows and becomes admired by many
people, that is what should be called great.
2. “
Imagination rules the world”
by
Napoleon Bonaparte.
It is probably one of my favorite quotes. I am amazed by the power of
imagination. It is a transporter by means of which we transport things from
invisible reality to the visible one. If you are able to tap into the power of
your imagination, you tap into the miraculous. If you can see the invisible you
can do the impossible. Connect your imagination with your faith and you will
become a champion of the world.
3. "
The best motivation is
self-motivation. The guy says, I wish someone would come by and turn me on.
What if they don't show up? You've got to have a better plan for your life than
that" by Jim Rohn.
You have to learn how to find motivation inside of you. It is ok, to get
impulses from outside, but you need a more stable source that does not run dry
every week, or even every twenty four hours. Personally I do not find a better
way to motivate myself than to remind myself what I really want. I also have to
tell myself quite often not to give up when I fail, because failure is part of
the process of growing, learning and achieving what you want.
4. “Judge
each day not by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant” by Robert Louis Stevenson.
Some folks wait for the harvest every day. They plant a seed today and
go to see whether there is some fruit tomorrow. They get very disappointed when
they find out that there is nothing there. But life is not made that way.
Harvest does not come in one day or one week, or even one month. I am not a
farmer, but I know that there seeds have to go through a lot of processes
before you can expect a harvest. Sowing, watering, weeding out and simply
waiting are some of the stuff that you have to endure patiently. So,
concentrate on sowing today so that you can reap a harvest in your nearest
future. Don’t postpone it, for the harvest will be postponed too.
5. “I do not try to
dance better than others. I try to dance better than I did it yesterday”
by Michail Baryshnikov.
6. “Experience is what
you get when you do not achieve what you want” author
unknown.

7. “Do you
not know? Have you not heard? The Lord
is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow
tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to
the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and
weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run
and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” Isaiah
40:28-31 (NIV).
