QUOTES ABOUT LIFE







“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.” – Tom Krause

There are no guarantees in life. Even the false security of having a house, a family and money in the bank will pass. The only constant in life is change. The sooner we can accept that, the smoother life will be.






“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” – Sven Goran Eriksson

  We all fear failure It’s a learned habit. It is said that the only fears we are born with are the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises, the rest is learned. There’s nothing wrong with failure. In fact, if you never fail, you will never grow.






“If we’re growing, we’re always going to be out of our comfort zone.” – John Maxwell



I couldn’t agree more with this quote. The more comfortable I get with being uncomfortable, the faster I grow. When you’re moving forward and making progress, you will feel uncomfortable, and that’s okay.







“If you wait to do everything until you’re sure it’s right, you’ll probably never do much of anything.” – Win Borden

 
I’ve gotten many e-mails from people asking me for advice. The common thread that runs through them all is that they want to make sure they’re doing it right. My answer is always the same: you have to try, fail and try again. There are no guarantees. There is only the path.







“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.” – Winston Churchill


This is another good take on courage. What we have to remember is that definitions and perspectives are constantly in flux. There are no absolutes. Courage for me isn’t the same as courage for you, which is why, in the end, you have to trust yourself.






“Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.” – Unknown

 
If you never start, you will never get anywhere. If you want to find your passion, it starts with trying. You will fail, you will make mistakes, but that’s a part of the journey.






“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” – Winston Churchill

 
Everything that you see around you will pass. Whatever success you may achieve will pass. Whatever failure you may run into will also pass.Doesn’t that make you wonder if life is more than chasing success and avoiding failure?






“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” – Jim Rohn

 
Motivation ebbs and flows. When I started blogging, the first few months were easy, but then I started bumping into periods of low energy. Habit and a focus on helping people is what kept me going. I constantly reminded myself that this was what I wanted to do.







“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.” – Wayne Dyer
 

You are responsible for how you feel. You can blame external things if you want to, but it will never change how things are. It is only when you accept your own responsibility that you can change.






“There’s always a way – if you’re committed.” – Tony Robbins

 
If you’re passionate enough and if you care enough, you will overcome any obstacles. Excuses will be a thing of the past, but if you’re not determined, you will let the smallest excuse hold you back. It’s time to Awaken the Giant Within
