How Motivation Quotes Can Instigate Change

We become what we think. This quote has been proven over and over again.

If we perceive something bad is going to happen to us, many times it does.

On the contrary, if we believe something good is going to happen this often becomes true as well.

Science has affirmed the link between positive effect and its impact on an individual's motivation and performance.

If we expect the best or we expect the worst, we're usually not disappointed.

Each time we perceive a positive thought it increases our own perceptions of positive expectancy.

For motivation to last it requires constant thinking with daily positive reinforcement.

The Secret

In the book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne is says great teachers have taught us that the law of attraction is the most powerful law in the universe. Like attracts like and whatever you're thinking, the law requires that like thoughts are attracted back to you.

In other words, you get what you expect as your thoughts become real so take care to expose yourself only to positive thoughts.

Surround yourself with positive affirmations and you will initiate change in yourself, in your life and in the lives of others. Positive thoughts enable you to achieve self-confidence and self esteem.

With these qualities you can motivate and inspire yourself.
Believe in yourself and others will believe in you and you in them.

Most motivational quotes come from learned and successful people and they're useful in the work place and at home today and throughout the rest of your life.

Just as happiness is contagious as you surround yourself with happy people, positive thinking is derived from surrounding yourself with positive quotes.

Many find it helpful to print up several of their favorite motivational sayings and place them where they'll be seen frequently each day such as on your desk, your computer or on your mirror.

What you see each day contributes to what your mind thinks and if you're thinking it, you are consciously or subconsciously working toward that end.



The Secret

View motivational 365 daily quotes day after day, night after night.

Lucretius said, "Constant dripping hollows out a stone." If we persist each day in some small way to achieve our goals then some measure of success will be ours.

An old Chinese proverb cautions too, that, "Talk doesn't cook rice." Too many times we're all talk and no action.

St. Clement taught, "If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes."

We must hope and dream but we must also work toward our goal. Constant reminders such as these ever-visible quotes steer us on an unwavering path to completion.

Perhaps one of the strongest motivators and risk takers ever was General George S. Patton who said, "Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash."

Quotes to motivate deliver the mental fuel to improve your life's implementation. Expose yourself to these thought daily.

What touches you becomes a part of you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed My Perspective,
By Var Mit "April" (Alabama, USA)

This review is from: Today Is Mine: 365 Original Daily Devotions, Inspirational Quotes, and Thought-Provoking Scriptures for Mastering the Art of Living (Hardcover)

I always, ALWAYS, will love this book. I received it many moons ago, and still read it to this day.

When I would have "bad times" (and, during that phase of my life, there were many of them), I was given this book to read. I had a little stubbornness in me, but slowly the daily lessons and scriptures would sink in , and they would inspire me to better myself and my life.

I still hold onto it, because there are times when I need those daily lessons. Many, many of them seem like they speak to me personally. And they all comfort and reassure me.

I will read this book until my eyes give out on me. That is how much I enjoy it to this day.

Keeping a Motivation Journal for Reflection

Keeping a motivation journal can help you in so many ways they're hard to list in this short space. If you've ever kept a diary or any other journal you know what it's like to make this sort of commitment.

Making daily entries into your journal is like talking to a friend. In a sense, your journal is your friend that you can tell anything and always know it's confidential. If you're concerned about anonymity don't put your name in it.

A motivation journal will help you think positively and creatively. It will help you develop new skills and increase confidence as these skills evolve. By writing your activities down, you crystallize your thinking and your goals allowing you to act with greater self-understanding.

As you discover yourself, you may become aware of things that need change. You may also discover that you're a pretty wonderful person as you are. By keeping a motivation journal, we can assume that you've already set goals and mapped a path to accomplish those goals.

You've remembered to set realistic goals with attainable increments. These should contain specific objectives with a time frame and deadlines. With no time frame or deadline you could find yourself floundering endlessly and never making any noticeable progress.

Journals are a key to success!

This may be a good time to list lifetime goals for you.

Where do you see yourself in five or ten years? These could be family lifetime goals, academic goals, even social and athletic goals.

Again, it's critical that you be specific. For instance, what grade average do you want to maintain, how far do you want to run or how much weight do you desire to lose?

A journal enables us to see what we're doing, thinking and feeling on matters that support our motivation. It's almost like seeing yourself through another person's eyes. You discover what's going on inside your head when you write them down.

Your thoughts, attitudes and goals become clearer when you can actually see them on paper. This shows what's really important to you and helps you to maintain a positive attitude.

Write down your successes and your failures. By doing this, we can analyze what went wrong and what went right.

We learn what lifted us up to that success and gave us the motivation to do it. We also learn what lowers our motivation and what's preventing us from succeeding.

Make it fun and something you look forward to each evening when you make your entry. The journal can be simply written on any paper or you might enjoy purchasing a colorful journal with pictures that you can associate with your goals.

It can be written in first or third person, depending on how you wish to view yourself in the journal. Is it about you or this person you're observing as they climb and stumble each day?

When you've accomplished your goals and your journal is complete, you'll feel empowered to take charge of your life. (Actually, you'll feel this before completion.) You've charted a new direction for yourself and saw it through to the end as you sifted through fears, doubts and worry.

You can relive your successes and review what made you fall backward. Start a motivation journal today. You don't want to miss a day of your new and exciting life.
