7 Motivational Quotes to Brighten Your Day

Words are free for us to make, string together, and dispense with, but there are times in life when only the right words can make us feel better. We know what we want to hear or say but the right words simply don't come to mind. It is in these times that motivational quotes prove their worth. Motivational quotes may summarize everything we feel, expect, and believe in. We can use them to be inspired and feel better.

To be more motivated today, tomorrow, and for the days ahead try these quotes below:


"Focus on remedies, not faults" - Jack Nicklaus.

Mistakes are so difficult to forget while the good things in life have an ephemeral existence in our minds. But why should we let our minds dwell on mistakes? What good can it do? The only time we should think about our faults is for the purpose of learning from them. Upon achieving that, we should focus next on remedies and move on.

"Anger and haste hinder good counsel" - English proverb.

Motivational quotes shouldn't be exclusively used for creating happy thoughts and feelings. They should also be used to get rid of negative and unhappy ones which will allow for something nicer, warmer, and brighter. Anger is one such emotion and you can use the above quote to remind yourself how futile and destructive anger can be.

"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm" - Ralph Waldo Emerson.

There are many ways to apply this quote to our lives. If you have a goal, mere wanting is inadequate. You must have a burning desire for it. For that matter also, enthusiasm isn't something to be embarrassed about. A world-weary outlook on life may be considered fashionable by some, but such affectations won't make you any happier. Be glad you have something to be excited about for these are the things that make life worthwhile.

"Everyman is the architect of his own fortune" - Sallus.

Do not blame God or anyone else for your misfortune. It is useless to do so. You need to strive above all things because it is your life and everything that happens to you is within your power. True enough, some things can't be achieved overnight but, if you work hard enough and believe in yourself enough, you will get what you want no matter what obstacles you are facing.


"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid" - Audre Lorde.

Don't waste time dwelling on your fears and insecurities. Rather, concentrate on discovering your strengths and finding out the best way to put them to use in order to achieve your goals. When you do that, you will become too busy to ever remember to be afraid.

"Practice hope. As hopefulness becomes a habit, you can achieve a permanently happy spirit" - Norman Vincent Peale.

Yes, hope is something everyone knows and understands but it's not something everyone can do and do repeatedly. Hope takes practice. Moreover, It requires constant practice from you simply because it is one of the great paths to happiness.


"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?" - Vincent Van Gogh.

Explaining this quote is easier done by using another quote: "Courage is not defined by the absence of fear but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear" - Ambrose Redmoon.

How to feel good - part 2.

Last time we chatted about the Feel Bad Zone.

I gave you some contrast by describing in point form what being in the Feel Bad Zone is all about. It's a nasty place! As I said then, if you find yourself domiciled in any or some of those situations - you need to get out of there - real quick.

In future posts I will go into some detail about how to extricate yourself from each and every one of those situations I described.

Today is all about - the Feel Good Zone.

Life is all about feeling good. It's where you need to be ALL the time.

Why?

Simply - it's not only a happy place, but also, so much more! As I said last time, just try living life in the Feel Bad Zone and you will start longing for the Feel Good Zone - guaranteed!

Besides, feeling good will remove resistance from your personality (opens the door) so that all the good things (your personal desires) are able to enter into your life. It's called invoking the Law of Allowing.

See if you relate to any, some, or all of these.

The Feel Good Zone:

Your glass is always half full.
You live your life with passion - you go for it.
You are optimistic - the future looks good.
You are enthusiastic and eager - nothing is too much trouble.
You love yourself, you are loved, and you give love freely.
You seek and love freedom.
You love and respect animals.
You are grateful - you show appreciation.
A feeling of joy dominates your life.
You are an empowered person - you KNOW you can do it - and by god - you will!
You enjoy gaining knowledge.
You deeply understand that abundance is all around you and it is all available to you.
You learn from your mistakes.

You constantly seek opportunities to improve yourself and your situation.
You get enjoyment and satisfaction from helping others - you are service oriented.

Love is all around you. Beauty is all around you. Abundance is all around you. Happiness is everywhere. Laughter abounds, All knowledge is available to you. Peace and joy are your birthright. We all live for a higher purpose!

YOU FEEL GOOD!

Half full?

Your glass is overflowing!

Open your eyes.

Look for something beautiful. Perhaps a flower? focus on how beautiful it is. Soon you will notice something else that has beauty. Then something else. Then something else. Then something else. Then something else.

And as you notice how beauty seems to be everywhere it starts to become a part of you life. It's filling your thoughts. Beauty is revealing itself and coming to you. Your mind has become a magnet for beauty.

It's called the Law of Attraction.

Use it!
