7 Day Dose of Quotes for Goalsetting

marckq by marckq

Soar Like an Eagle

For the past 3 days I have been struggling to meet my daily goals, the little steps I need to do to achieve the big picture. I have been fighting procrastination, going back to the statement I made and created as my wallpaper. Add to that, I have a list of inspirational quotes I purposely filed for times like these. I am sharing the list with you, just in case that cloud of laziness drifts by your horizon. I have them on different sets; the first one, which I am posting now, is on vision, hard work/perseverance and adversity. The other set which are inspirational quotes on patience, motivation and giving will follow very soon. To complete the series, the next set will be on relationships, love and friendship. I hope these little nuggets of wisdom will inspire you to achieve your heart's desire. I pray for your direction and the fulfilment of all your dreams. May you soar like an eagle!

Day 1

VISION

"Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning."
- Mahatma Gandhi

HARD WORK and PERSEVERANCE

"As long as you continue to make the effort, you have not lost".
- Ralph Marston

"The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials."
- Confucius

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to

stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
-Vance Havner

-RALPH MARSTON

ADVERSITY

"If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it round. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it".
