Henry Ford had said that we are always right when we think whether we can or we can not. Thus, our attitude becomes the mental filter and through it we experience the world. When this filter is made up of optimism we see great many opportunities spread before us, can concentrate on the solutions, look for the good in others, and always count our blessings but when the filter is made up of pessimism the opportunities seem vanishing one by one before our eyes and we find ourselves helpless, often dwell on problems only, always find fault in others, and focus on what is missing.
Significance of Motivational Quotes.Surely you have noticed that when you begin to feel low or depressed, it can affect your productivity and output. Your efficiency tends to suffer, and ultimately your enthusiasm wanes. This is when you need some motivation to get you back on your feet. One great way to increase your enthusiasm is to read motivational quotes. Just the simple practice of reading motivational quotes can help you in ways that you never imagined before.
Your fears are not about the depression of 1933, or about the Second World War, which many people think Roosevelt was referring to. Whatever your fears, it is inspirational to be reminded that fear, especially the formless fear of the unknown, is the true enemy of living a joyful and productive life. As another example, consider Helen Keller's words, "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller overcame being deaf and blind from the age of 19 months to become an author and social activist. In that context, the quote has an extra "wow" factor - that someone bearing those burdens could still speak of an ideal life as a daring adventure. Nonetheless, as an inspirational quote to guide your own life, Keller's words, independent of their context, are a powerful reminder to focus on the big picture - what you came here to do.
But when we grow old we get conditioned to so many things taking inputs from so many places like criticism from teachers and parents, ridicule from peers, rejection, disappointment, doubts, etc. This dirt keeps building on our windows and we don't even bother to clean it up. And when we are not able to see through our windows, how will we ever imagine our dreams.
You can place sticky notes with quotes you find inspiring on your desk at your workplace and at home. This is a good way to utilize them on a daily basis. Place them in strategic locations within easy view. This will serve as a constant reminder to continue working towards your goals.Another way that motivational quotes can help us to gain motivation is to say them out loud, and write them down. More and more people are keeping a record of motivational quotes, and some maintain scrapbooks filled with these quotes in order to stay motivated.
Many sites are of boring nature and it concentrates on amount of quotes rather than its worth. Top sites will deliver some old quotes of values. According to me, the principle of the site is that the quotes should be motivational. It should be forceful, profound and should produce vibration within you. It means that the words should be good one.The trouble in it is the websites that say that they have the best quotes are the sites who has least number of quality quotes. We have to read infinite quotes to choose the best 100 among them. Some sites will rejoice that they have about thousand's quotations available; do you wish to read every quote available? Definitely no, the way to get the best is to get the site that had taken some of the best quotation from lot of other sites and condensed them into a single site. It means get a quote site that contains good one.
Motivational quotes became very fashionable when the internet really took off, and people would use them as signatures in their posts on forums, or as signatures in their emails. A lot of quotes can be really effective, but there is also a real case of overkill, and a sense that using a someone else's words in your email or as any sort of tag line nowadays almost makes you look a bit cheap.
You should understand that quotes that are meant to motivate and inspire people are nothing all that new or unique. In fact, they have literally been around for centuries and centuries passed on by word of mouth. Some of them are fairly recent in comparison, but the point being, they all come from a varying list of sources.Now, you should better understand where many of these motivational quotes actually came from. In many cases, these quotes were spoken by a particular person in order to help encourage or motivate another person or group of people in the face of some dramatic event occurring at the time. Whether that be war, famine, drought, halftime with a losing score or what have you, the point was that the audience needed to be motivated and motivated they were.
But you won't make any sales. It won't get customers through the door, it won't get them interested in investing their time and money with you, and it won't put profits in your bank account.And that's why you're in business, isn't it? Or are you in it just for the fun of it (and the "likes" and inane but oh-so-supportive and w00ty comments)? See, there's nothing wrong with wasting time with "activity" if that's what you want to do. It's your life. It's up to you.But a lot of business owners fool themselves into thinking "activity" is the same as "achievement", and it's not. Get onto Facebook and before you know it, you've lost a whole evening of your life (it's the only life you're ever going to get, and every second wasted is a second you will never, ever get back).And trust me, you cannot put Facebook "likes" on the table and eat them.So I know what the smart money's on, and it's not on the chances of you making money from the next endorphin-rush you get with those quotes, no matter how motivational they may be.Nothing, I repeat nothing gets things done like taking action does.Look entrepreneurial success really does not have to be a struggle.But it can be, if you don't know the easy way to do it. Jon McCulloch is perhaps Europe's top direct response marketing expert (and he's definitely the most irreverent and Non-PC one you'll ever meet).
