My Favorite Inspirational Quote:

"Those who want to succeed will find a way, those who don’t will find an excuse.” Leo Aquila

Meaning of the Quote:

People who really want to achieve success in life will seek solutions, overcome obstacles and take the necessary action to succeed. However, those who lack the motivation to succeed will come up with reasons - excuses why they can not take the necessary action to succeed, rather than finding a way to move forward to success.

Weekly Challenge:

I used the above quote on one of Kyle’s Weekly Challenges: Share Your Favorite Inspirational Quote and Why It Matters. I just happened to tie with two other members for 1st place. Thanks again to all who liked my quote. I could not have won without your support. Very appreciative!

Taken From the Weekly Challenge:

Why This Quote Matters to Me:

“This quote is my daily mantra and my greatest motivator in my business and personal life. It is what pushes me to do what is necessary to achieve my business and personal goals. This quote is the wind beneath my wings. It is what keeps me going when I don’t even feel like doing what is needed to succeed.

Furthermore, it keeps me focused on what I need to get done daily for my business - be it to get a blog post done or to watch a training video. It compels me to get the job done, be it my daily personal task of getting my cooking done or doing my laundry and getting it folded and put away.

Finally, this quote holds me accountable to myself. So daily I would ask myself - Nichola are you finding a way, or are you finding an excuse?”

Final Thoughts:

Indeed, there are many inspirational quotes but the above quote is my all time favorite when it comes to achieving my daily business or personal goals. I love this quote because it just cuts through the nonsense and gets straight to the point - Find a way to succeed or find an excuse not to!

I appreciate your time, comments and likes.

To our success

Kind regards,

Nichola

Such a powerful quote, Nichola...and beautifully shared.

It stirs the deeper question: what does success truly mean for each of us?

For some, it’s wealth or goals reached.
For others, it’s presence, peace, or simply showing up with heart.
I choose the latter, no matter.

Your daily reflection... “Am I finding a way or an excuse?”...is a grounding compass.
Thank you for the reminder.

This quote highlights the difference between determination and complacency. It emphasizes that success comes to those who are willing to take action and overcome obstacles, while those who lack commitment often resort to excuses. It’s a powerful reminder that mindset and perseverance play a crucial role in achieving goals.

Hi Nicholaoi,

My favorite saying is "If you aren't living on the edge you are taking up too much space"

And a lot of affiliate marketers are living on the edge. lol.

Great post, Nichola! Well done too!

I can relate to the tasks you mentioned in this post i.e. from getting a blog post done and watching training to getting washing done and packing it away!

It's true - we have to find a way to get it done and not use excuses!
