Top 20 Motivational Quotes and Sayings

Keeping yourself motivated is a process, you must work on it daily. An easy way to remind yourself of inspiration is to find your favorite quotes and put them in a place you can read daily. For example a poster on your wall, post it notes on your mirror,the background on your computer or phone, and even your Facebook status!

This is the quote I put on my wall and read daily. Try doing the same!

Why is it important to do this? The answer is very simple, in our brains we have neurons, which are electric and chemical pathways that make our brain communicate with actions. Now lets break this idea down, they are pathways that communicate with our actions, doesn’t it make sense that if we want to make a change in our life we have to make a pathway for it? For example if we want to learn to play piano we practice many times so that we become better and faster at it. This physically is our neurons making more efficient pathways, that’s how we master a task; and the same goes for a state of mind. When we think that we cannot do something our neuro-pathways get used to thinking that, just as playing piano gets our minds used to which key to press. So if you condition yourself for failure, it is literally easier for you to fail, but the same can be done to create success. And that’s why we must facilitate success and motivation daily by writing, reading, speaking, understanding and critically thinking. By doing something that simple every day you will be surprised how easily you can change your mind frame and how quickly you can achive your goals.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us, it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” – Nelson Mandela
