Intro:
motivation is a temporary currency. You have to renew your mindset when you feel that all things are difficult and tasks at hand are impossible. You must make sure that you stay motivated and have your priorities sorted when working your way to the top. What better way to set the mood for success than with the words of the learned and the superior. These quotes listed are sure to motivate you and make you jump on your feet to better progress in life:
1. The dream is free; the hustle is sold separately:
Tyrese Gibson
Tyrese Gibson was good enough to share his insights with us, revealing the most crucial instruction for making your dreams into reality. It is not enough to dream about your success. Optimists are lost in wishful thinking, and pessimists have proven incapable of working towards their dreams. The relentless hustlers are sure to find a way to make their dreams come true. It is easy to wish and fantasize about your success, make plans for your achievements, and even think that you have the dream within your grasp. But it is not enough. You have to work to live your dreams.
2. Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new center of gravity. Don’t fight them. Just find a different way to stand:
Oprah Winfrey.
When focused on your goal, you know you have to overcome all the difficulties across your path to get to where you want to reach. We see the struggle as trouble and pain, something to eliminate to reach the primary goal. But on close observation, you will see that challenges make you worth the success you achieve; they build you and make you who you are. Stop looking at these trials as punishments for your bad or wrong decisions but as opportunities to learn and grow. These are the tests that you must pass to make yourself worth the destiny you want to claim. You have to step back, re-organize, and reclaim what is yours for the taking.
3. Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there’s no path and leave a trail:
Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Doing what you want takes a lot of courage and discipline. We are prone to the disease of mediocrity, choosing what’s already handed over to us on a silver platter. But only a few of us are brave enough to follow our heart to a new destination and leave behind a trail for others to follow into. They have a purpose of fulfilling and a goal to reach; they tend to live more and juice the opportunities given to my life to its fullest. They are said to walk the left-hand path, rarely taken and often called the path that leads to madness. But those who follow this path know that life has no restrictions and a lot to give; all you have to do is explore the unknown.
4. Work until you no longer need to introduce yourself:
Harvey Specter
Not everyone is born a Kardashian where the work is cut out for you and your name a household convention. But in all reality, you can work your way towards a successful life that will make your name known. Talent will only take you so far; it has to be accompanied by hard work to ensure you reach your goal. People tend to keep a keen eye on those who shine; they keep tabs on people who work and are not afraid to put in the exertion required to complete the task. It would be best if you were known for the grind you put in, the efforts you make, and your hard work. They know your name because you mark your work.
5. The secret of getting things done is to act:
Dante Alighieri.
Sometimes it seems impossible to break free from the spell of procrastination. You put things off till it is too late to start, making you overwhelmed at the last moment. Some tasks take time to finish; some take courage, focus, and ambition. You have to address the issues that lie at the core and make your goal a work of art. Even the tasks that seem impossible at first glance have a way of working out in the end when you take the first step: how else will you realize if your dreams are indeed accomplishable in real life. The first and foremost step is to get the work started at its core.
6. It’s always too early to quit:
Norman Vincent Peale.
Your struggle towards success is a journey with its ups and downs; you will reach a midpoint where you are too far up ahead to turn back, yet, your destination is still invisible for you to hold on to. This one-line quote by Peale is, in reality, a way to trick your mind into thinking that you still have one more attempt left in you. It gives you patience and courage to stay put in place and try again tomorrow. If you stop midway, you might never try again; it is better to persevere forward than to return back. Even if you are struggling forward for a long time, you are closer to the finish line than ever before with each step.
7. The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity:
Ayn Rand.
Ayn Rand talks of how to make gold from each opportunity that comes your way, so you know you are thrusting forward towards your success at full speed. It inspires you to grab every opportunity thrown your way for you to utilize and make the most out of. You have to gain insight to spot every opportunity in your vicinity and evaluate your skills and efficiency at every step. The more you push yourself, the more you will sharpen your expertise and become competent.
8. Done is better than perfect:
Sheryl Sandberg.
When the deadline looms in, the task at hand seems more and more daunting in nature and enormous in size, undoable even. It tends to demotivate and make you want to quit. Not everyone can afford perfection in these situations. Aiming for perfection can cause chaos and competition, or even a complete breakdown of the task as one may strive to achieve unattainable standards of perfection. It is more important to complete the task at hand than focus on the creeks and crooks. Perfection takes a backdoor when deadlines are more critical. It is, therefore, a good idea to get the task completed to your best possible efforts rather than to keep it incomplete and to sit in your drawer.
9. Take rest; a field that has rested gives a bountiful crop:
Ovid.
In the sea of quotes full of motivation to make you work towards your goal, this one is to remind you of the importance of rest in between. Everyone strives to be productive and successful when working towards a goal; it keeps them engaged and, on their toes, working 24×7. It may take a toll on the person, draining them emotionally, mentally, and/or physically. It is just as important to rest, regain your stability, and recharge yourself in every respect. Take advantage of the weekend to reinstate your work-life balance, which gets distorted over the week. Your level of productivity and success depends on the quality of your thinking. The more you rest, the more you can think fresh, and your output will be at work.
10. In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity:
Albert Einstein.
As the old saying goes, smooth seas don’t make great captains. It is just another way to say that difficulties are not just obstacles in your way, but they are sure to teach you a thing or two. Adversities are the teachers that might whip you at the time, but if you stay strong and overcome your fears, you are bound to learn from the new experiences that come your way. Create solutions for the problems you face and make new paths for your convenience. As you slash through your difficulties, you gain confidence and make life more enjoyable.
Conclusion:
these quotes will set your heart in motion and motivate you to work for a better future. You are bound to increase your productivity gradually and see a personal growth that is apparent to others. Climb the mountain to a successful life with these quotes to get you through the tough patches of your work life.
