Need Writing Ideas? Look At Motivational Quotes For Inspiration
When you start out:
Focus on your goal. Don't look in any direction but ahead.
Make a written plan of where you want to go, and focus on it often. Don't let yourself be deterred from your forward path.
Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear
When you try something new, you often have to overcome roadblocks and move past old fears. You need to push your boundaries so you can move past the fear and forward to what you want to achieve.
Burn pain as fuel for your journey.
Don't let the pain of discouragement or failure stop you. Use that pain to refuel your desire to succeed. Let it become a motivating force, not something that stops your progress.
Always believe in the impossible
Don't listen to the naysayers who say "It cannot be done." Do it anyway. You can figure out a way. I have a wonderful saying in a little frame on my office windowsill. It, too, is worth including here. It says, "Those who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it." Become that person.
You have to be at your strongest when you are at your weakest
Remember this one when obstacles get in your way and you feel close to overwhelmed. Reach into the deep reserves of your psyche and tell yourself, "This, too, shall pass." Then keep moving forward.
Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations
Remember where you are going. You will be glad you did.
You don't find will power -- you create it. Don't wait for opportunity; create it.
These two really belonged together. You can create opportunity and the will to move forward at the same time. Don't wait for what you want -- go out and get it.
If you feel like giving up, just look back on how far you are already
Have you been working on your business for quite some time and feel like it just isn't going anywhere? Sit down and make a list of everything you have done and learned; all your new skills and original ideas. You may very well find that you have actually progressed a long way. Why give up now?
Hustle until you no longer have to introduce yourself
How long must you continue? Until you get there...meanwhile, build your "brand" by staying active with your websites and with your audience. Let them get to know you. When you reach enough people, they will help you create critical mass, and then there's no stopping you.
Look at the whole "success" thing this way. Many people are striving for success. Many people are searching for the vehicle to take them there. Because there is so much talk about how to reach success, I feel that it is definitely a possible goal. Many people have found the success highway.
You and I can do so, too, if we just keep believing, working on our business, and moving forward in our journey. Let's get to the top of the mountain together!

Quotes are awesome! One I learned from a trainer was, " Excuses are like elbows we have 2 of them" I asked what does that mean. He said that if we keeping thinking of excuses there will be another and another. How does it help? It does not. Proper activity moves us closer not excuses.
I like it...certainly no need for more elbows. Excuses are just ways to fool yourself into thinking you can't do something.
Hi Fran, I love motivational quotes and sayings. Here is one I heard:

Thanks for sharing Fran, an excellent idea. I love good quotes.
I saw on the news today where a couple came home and there was a bear cub asleep in their bathroom sink. I thought of you.
I guess they should consider themselves lucky. It could have been Mama or Papa Bear.

How funny! I don't think mama or papa would have fit in the bathroom sink.
There sure are some good quotes out there...
I have a “giving up journal”. I write out all the reasons why I should give up. Then I close the journal and continue on. The next day I repeat the same ritual. I’ve been doing it for over a year and still haven’t given up. But I come up with some great reasons
Baby sure was sprawled out like it was his California King waterbed. So cute. Getting cool up there? Still in mid 90's here. Yuk!
Great post, I have a few myself that I say when I feel like I have failed, but these are very good, I will definitely use them myself for self motivation
There are so many good ones out there. These are just a few. It's good to have a few of these floating around in your head for those moments when you need encouragement.

The greatest enemy of one is oneself. The greatest antidote to this is yourself. It all depends on the way you take life's challenges. Bring it on and face them or Run away and hide We are so powerful in fact we are capable of destroying the obstacles, we also have the power to self destruct. Our daily action boiled into this. Two Choices: Choose to go on or choose to give up. Choose hope or choose hopelessness, choose to be a victor anyway or Choose defeat. choose to be happy or to be depressed. Hello?! Choose! Choose it right!
Thanks for the wonderful quotes!
The choices look obvious, don't they? However, many people just choose the down side of things. Choosing it right is a good warning.
