Monday Motivation : Quotes To Inspire the Unmotivated

After what seems like the longest month in history, we finally made it to February!

How are you doing with your 2020 goals, visions and resolutions? Believe it or not, this is the time that most people get depressed because they have lost that initial “New Year, New Me” steam. The winter weather (depending on where you live) can also play a factor in the loss of motivation. You are NOT alone. So this installment of Motivational Monday is dedicated to finding motivation when we feel most unmotivated. These are some of my favorite quotes that help me to find my fire and fuel motivation when I’ve seemed to have lost it.

 "There is no chance, no destiny, no fate, that can hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul." --Ella Wheeler Wilcox

"Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear--not the absence of fear." --Mark Twain

"Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone." --Pablo Picasso

"Things work out best for those who make the best of how things work out." --John Wooden

"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." --Walt Disney

"Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them." --Anonymous

"Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. " --Les Brown

 "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." --Thomas A. Edison

"Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." --Wayne Dyer

"If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got." --Anonymous

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly." --Proverb

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid." --Audre Lorde

"I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well." --Diane Ackerman

Why I started the Monday Motivation series: As a huge fan of quotes, it’s always comforting to feel that others have been where we are and intimately share our experiences through feeling. Words are some of the best ways to express ourselves and sometimes when we can’t find the words ourselves, it is so wonderful to discover that someone else did.
