Motivation in less than one minute!
There are a lot of videos that spark motivation. Some are powerful and some create an internal motivation to think differently about life.
There are also a lot of great sayings and quotes that create motivation.
So for this edition of Motivational Monday I wanted to string together some quotes to tell a quick story of how success is created with quotes and sayings and I wanted to do it in less than one minute.
Here is the motivation or meaning behind each quote:
Your future is created by what you do today…
The results of the choices and actions you take today, good to bad, are not always experienced today. They are the stepping stones that pave where you are going…
You are the creator of your own destiny…
The moment you realize that you and you alone are the one who decides what your destiny will be, is the moment you become empowered to create it! No one else can choose what you create, only you can choose that and that’s what creates your destiny.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference…
Winston Churchill made it simple to understand. Your attitude about anything is the defining factor on whether that thing is there to serve you in your success or if that thing has the power to stop you. Your attitude about anything is everything!
Be someone that makes you happy…
Don’t look to others to create your happiness, become the person you’d be happy to be around! Be someone you’d be proud to call a friend. Be someone you’d be honored to admire.
Use your imagination…
Life is full of opportunity. And the more you can stretch your imagination about what something could be, the better chance you have at realizing the full potential of every opportunity that crosses your path!
The best dreams happen when you’re awake…
The greatest ideas, insights, inspiration and motivation come from the dreams you have when you’re awake, alive, energized, and have clarity!
You are only confined by the walls you build yourself…
This is a big one! The stories you tell yourself about why you can or what you can’t are the ONLY things stopping your or opening the path to your success. And the key message here is, YOU write the stories that govern your life!
When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe then you’ll be successful…
You have to have a relentless, undying, unstoppable desire for success. It’s not always a battle but when it is, you have to ready to fight for every inch. You have to be willing to whatever it takes with the same conviction and commitment you’d have if you were under water trying to get to the surface to take a breath! When you have that kind of motivation, you already have success because nothing will stop you.
Remember that guy who gave up? Neither does anyone else…
Success is not reserved for the people who quit, it’s reserved for the people who never give up! (And if you have the kind of motivation as you would from the last quote, you won’t ever give up so it all kind of ties together).
Work hard, dream big…
Success requires hard work and big dreams crate the motivation needed to do the work!
A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor…
It’s not a clean, perfectly defined process. The path to success has messy, ugly, scary, and risky sections. But it’s those sections that forge the courage, strength, wisdom, and skill required to navigate the next section of the path.
Success is a journey, not a destination…
If you look at it like when I achieve X I’ll be Y you don’t understand success yet. It’s the journey that brings you joy. It’s the journey that brings you happiness. It’s the journey that creates the adventure! Once you reach the destination, if there is no other journey, it’s over!
Make life an adventure!
What is life other than one big giant adventure? When you can approach life with the perspective of it being a big giant epic adventure and your job is to always find ways to add to and enhance the adventure, you win in my book!
So there is it, motivation in under a minute! Hope you liked it and it brought some value to your life.
