A great life consists of keeping your eyes on the distant mountains of your life purpose while continuing to put one foot in front of the other along the path of everyday life. However, it is all too easy to lose sight of the goal and get lost in everyday frustrations, angers and disappointments.Including daily reminders of your life purpose in each day's routine can help keep your focus on your goals. Great reminders can include meditation, prayer, yoga, positive affirmations, and also daily inspirational quotes.
Significance of Motivational Quotes.Surely you have noticed that when you begin to feel low or depressed, it can affect your productivity and output. Your efficiency tends to suffer, and ultimately your enthusiasm wanes. This is when you need some motivation to get you back on your feet. One great way to increase your enthusiasm is to read motivational quotes. Just the simple practice of reading motivational quotes can help you in ways that you never imagined before.
Motivational quotes are usually written or spoken by famous personalities from different walks of life. These quotes have come from religious texts, philosophical scriptures, or even from political figures and influential business personalities throughout time. Good quotes motivate and inspire us in our daily lives. They enable us to gain the confidence that is sometimes lacking within ourselves. The wisdom you gain is something that you can treasure forever.
But when we grow old we get conditioned to so many things taking inputs from so many places like criticism from teachers and parents, ridicule from peers, rejection, disappointment, doubts, etc. This dirt keeps building on our windows and we don't even bother to clean it up. And when we are not able to see through our windows, how will we ever imagine our dreams.
Shakespeare was very thoughtful when he said that there is nothing like bad or good but our thinking can make it so. We must take our responsibility to clean grimes from our windows. We must accept the consequences when we don't clean the glass but look towards our life through that smeared glass only. Otherwise we must show courage and clean our window by taking out our squeeze. This will make our dreams alive again.
Most importantly, motivational quotes become more meaningful and life-changing when dealing with other people. Quotes that inspire are instruments of change for a large number of people. When you share a motivational quote that matches the particular situation of a person who is down or confused, you can help them find a sense of optimism and good cheer.
Motivational quotes became very fashionable when the internet really took off, and people would use them as signatures in their posts on forums, or as signatures in their emails. A lot of quotes can be really effective, but there is also a real case of overkill, and a sense that using a someone else's words in your email or as any sort of tag line nowadays almost makes you look a bit cheap.
One of the other problems with motivational quotes is that everyone has heard them nowadays. There was a time when most of this stuff was original, but due to the speed of how things progress on the internet, most of the really good quotes are vastly overplayed, and seriously overuse.I think part of the reason is that a motivational quote sort of says something indirectly, or by implication that is more powerful, because it is describing something that you cant really put into words, rather liker parables.
But you won't make any sales. It won't get customers through the door, it won't get them interested in investing their time and money with you, and it won't put profits in your bank account.And that's why you're in business, isn't it? Or are you in it just for the fun of it (and the "likes" and inane but oh-so-supportive and w00ty comments)? See, there's nothing wrong with wasting time with "activity" if that's what you want to do. It's your life. It's up to you.But a lot of business owners fool themselves into thinking "activity" is the same as "achievement", and it's not. Get onto Facebook and before you know it, you've lost a whole evening of your life (it's the only life you're ever going to get, and every second wasted is a second you will never, ever get back).And trust me, you cannot put Facebook "likes" on the table and eat them.So I know what the smart money's on, and it's not on the chances of you making money from the next endorphin-rush you get with those quotes, no matter how motivational they may be.Nothing, I repeat nothing gets things done like taking action does.Look entrepreneurial success really does not have to be a struggle.But it can be, if you don't know the easy way to do it. Jon McCulloch is perhaps Europe's top direct response marketing expert (and he's definitely the most irreverent and Non-PC one you'll ever meet).
