Motivation

«Of all the possible avenues of life there are to live for, complacency should be viewed as the switch that killed the will to build.»
«Only as high as I reach can I grow, only as far as I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be.»
«Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.»
«No one can motivate you to do anything. You motivate yourself, based on information you receive and how directly you can relate it to your own potential achievement.»
«Never give up.»
«Om Asato maa sad-gamaya; tamaso maa jyotir-ga-maya; mrtyor-maa amrutam gamaya. Om Shaantih Shaantih Shaantih. O Lord Lead me from the unreal to the real. Lead me from the darkness to light. Lead me from death to immortality. May there be peace, peace, and perfect peace.»
Author: The Upanishads | About: Motivation, Peace
«People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.»
«Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.»
«Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.»
«Never, never, never, never give up.»
