Motivational quotes

What is motivation? It’s the process that starts, directs, and sustains behaviors aimed at specific goals.

Motivation drives you to take action, whether it’s reaching for a glass of water to satisfy your thirst or picking up a book to expand your knowledge.

It involves the biological, emotional, social, and cognitive factors that trigger behavior. In everyday conversation, “motivation” is commonly used to explain why someone does what they do.

“Begin by tackling what needs to be done, then move on to what you can do. Before you know it, you’ll be achieving the impossible.” – Saint Francis of Assisi.

“Anyone who truly believes that higher beings have given humanity insights into the purpose of our existence and the nature of the world is still immature in their thinking. The only revelations we have come from the thoughts of the wise, and even those are fallible, just like everything human is bound to be.” Schopenhauer.

Nobody can beat someone who never gives up.

A Motivational Message from Pope Francis on Envy and What Truly Matters.

Don’t cry over what you’ve lost; instead, fight for what you still have. Don’t mourn what’s gone; strive for what’s blossoming within you.

Don’t weep for those who have left your life; treasure those who stand by your side. Don’t dwell on those who harbor hatred for you; focus on the ones who genuinely want to see you happy.

Don’t lament your past; invest your energy in your present. Don’t suffer over your pain; fight for your happiness.

Finding happiness isn’t always easy; it requires letting go of many things, making tough choices, and having the courage to embrace both the challenges and rewards that come with it.

With time, we learn that nothing is impossible to overcome; just keep moving forward with those who want to be with you and are willing to fight for your relationship. Those who think that wealth and status attract envy are mistaken…

What people really envy is the easy smile, the inner light, the simple and genuine happiness, and the peace that comes from within.

“The best revenge is massive success.” Frank Sinatra.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Steve Jobs.

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.” – Marilyn Monroe.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.” – Steve Jobs.

Once you organize your thoughts around what you want in life, the universe starts to align with that.

Don’t believe in something just because you heard it. Don’t buy into it just because everyone else is talking about it.

Don’t trust something just because it’s written in religious books.

Don’t take it as truth just because your teachers or mentors say so.

Don’t follow traditions just because they’ve been passed down through generations.

But, after careful thought and observation, if you find that something makes sense and brings good to everyone, accept it and live by it. – Buddha.

Being strong is not the absence of weaknesses, but the ability to overcome them.

“When someone leaves a village, where everything is narrow and close, and climbs to the top of a mountain, they unveil an increasingly vast horizon. The higher they climb, the more solitary they become. Nevertheless, they realize they are in a broader context than before.” Bert Hellinger.

“Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.” Marilyn Monroe.

“I’ve always been attracted to the more revolutionary changes. I don’t know why. Because they’re harder. They’re much more stressful emotionally. And you usually go through a period where everybody tells you that you’ve completely failed.” Steve Jobs.

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.

There are some things in our society and some things in our world for which I am proud to be maladjusted.

And I call upon all men of goodwill to be maladjusted to these things until the good society is realized. I must honestly say to you that I never intend to adjust myself to racial segregation and discrimination. I never intend to adjust myself to religious bigotry.

I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few, leave millions of God’s children smothering in an air-tight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society.

Martin Luther King.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice. Bob Marley.

You’re not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you’re supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer – Bob Marley.

You are braver than you believe, stronger thank you seem, and smarter than you think.

Give yourself time and space to try things and explore different paths. You will get there one day, so don’t forget to enjoy the journey too.

Push yourself. Because no one else is going to do it for you.

Someday everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.

“Happiness is not by chance but by choice.” — Jim Rohn.
