I love finding new quotations. And the best quotations have a way of finding you in the most unexpected ways: in a book you randomly pick up, a card from a long-lost friend, or e
ven on a bumper sticker while driving to an unknown destination.
For this particular collection, I tried to dig deep for quotations I’ve never heard of, or authors I whose books I have never read. I hope all of you find the following words from these wise people as inspiring as I did. In celebration of living your dream life (and sharing your daily intentions with everyone you know), here are eight quotations to get that inner fire going.
"In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia." Author Unknown
"Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success." - Thomas J. Watson
"Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life – think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, that is way great spiritual giants are produced." -Swami Vivekanada
"For true success ask yourself these four questions: Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?" - James Allen
"Passion creates the desire for more and action fuelled by passion creates a future." - Byron Pulsifer
"A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change." - Earl Nightingale
"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you’ve got to say, and say it hot." - D.H. Lawrence
"We all need to look into the dark side of our nature – that’s where the energy is, the passion. People are afraid of that because it holds pieces of us we’re busy denying." - Sue Grafton
BONUS: The following quotation is an oldies but a goodie. I’ve seen this quotation in different places so many times, but it is worth seeing again and again and again.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit."-Aristotle
"Be still when you have nothing to say; when genuine passion moves you, say what you've got to say, and say it hot." – D.H. Lawrence
