3 Motivational Quotes That Give You Inspiration to Take Action
By Anthony D Carter
We all get down sometimes while pursuing our goals. We need motivation to keep going. Motivational quotes provide a great remedy for inspiring you to action. Here are five good quotes that will give you inspiration for action.
“Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.” ~ Andre Gide
Unless you are willing to leave the comfort of status quo then you will never experience the excitement of growth and achievement. You are doomed to repeat the same boring experiences and live in the same stale surroundings. Deep down we all long for a life of expansion. We want to grow. We want to live up to our potential. We experience a meaningful degree of fulfillment once we move beyond the levels that we believed possible. We feel more and more alive as we move forward on our path of personal development.
In order to grow we need to step out into uncharted waters. We need to go where we have never gone and do activities that we have never performed before.
“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.” ~ Henry D. Thoreau
Keep your attention on where you are going and not on where you are or where you have been in the past. Too often we let our past failures dictate our future plans. This is a major mistake and it will sap your motivation. Instead look at your future opportunities in an optimistic light. Forget your past and forge ahead with new possibilities. Learn from your failures and use them as a foundation for your upcoming successes.
“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
One major pitfall to maintaining motivation lies in our constant struggle with procrastination. However when you look at each day as if it were your last then you realize that the only time you have is today. You have this one moment in time. You are not guaranteed tomorrow. So your prevailing thought process should be to “Do It Now!”
Learn everything that you can. The more experiences that you can gain then the less time you will spend correcting mistakes. Often we can learn a majority of what we need to know by asking questions and getting answers from people who have done what we are attempting to do. Always seek to learn new ideas and insights everyday. This keeps you motivated and excited about life. We get discouraged when we are overwhelmed by confusion and frustration.

I love reading inspirational quotes any time of the day. It not only helps me to push forward personally, but I feel as if I’m able to absorb a bit of the courage their authors had as well.

I love those quotes you have mentioned that it makes me think every time I read it. Especially live as if there’s no tomorrow. It is true that we live each day with optimism we can achieve what we wanted to finish at the end of the day and you will feel fulfillment because you have done the best that you can do. Everyday is a journey to new learning’s and realizations that will guide you as you go through life, and it is important to focus on your goals and let your failures be your motivation. Surely you’ll succeed.

The last quote is written just for me. I always procrastinate when it comes to important things and when it comes to college, I always try to spend as little time on homework as possible.
