Best Motivation quotes for great life for great success and become a winner

Everyone knows these days: you wake up in the morning and you’re not motivated to do anything. You drag yourself out of bed, feeling exhausted, but it does not get any better. Instead of being allowed to do absolutely nothing, you have to address so many issues, duties and responsibilities that it’s impossible to know where to start. Nobody likes to admit it, but we all are struggling to get motivated from time to time. Even the top achievers among us know how difficult it is to keep one’s motivation at a constant high level.

1. When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.

Eric Thomas tells us to put our head underwater for a minute. After the minute has passed you will notice the rising urge to breathe. But you don’t go up to the surface, not just yet. The urge to allow fresh air into your lungs will become omnipresent. It is no longer just an urge, but it starts turning into a deep desire.

A couple of seconds later there will be nothing else on your mind, except the wish to breathe. Nothing will be able to distract you in this situation; nothing will be able to diverge your focus and attention away from the situation. In fact, your focus is laser-sharp and directed on only one thing: managing to get up to the surface so that you can fill your lungs with fresh air. Do you want to watch television in this situation? Do you want to surf the Internet? Do you need any rest? NO! Heck no, all you want to do is to breathe. Nothing else.

I can guarantee you that you will succeed in whatever you are doing, if only you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe after being submerged by water for more than a minute.

2. Every great story on the planet happened when someone decided not to give up, but kept going no matter what.

Your willingness not to give up no matter what will bring you one step closer towards the accomplishment of your dreams. Often times, people start enthusiastically with a new task, but they soon allow challenges and setbacks to decrease their motivation. In the end, they will give up and find new goals to pursue halfhearted, which they will eventually fail as well. That is until they finally find goals that are unimportant but relatively easy to accomplish. What a way to ruin one’s potential.

3. Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.

The question whether we fail or not largely depends upon our own determination. Yes, there are some failures that simply cannot be avoided. In most cases, however, we alone can influence our chances of success. What Og Mandino wants to point out is that we need the mental strength to keep going, no matter how severe the opposition. Equipped with this kind of attitude, failure will not be able to overtake us, as we will persevere until success is achieved.

4. It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.

The only thing that truly matters in life (when it comes to the realization of your goals) is that you keep going, no matter how slow you seem to progress. The going might get tough at times and there will be days where you see absolutely no return from your actions, but don’t allow this to discourage you. Instead, move on. Winston Churchill once said, that if you’re going straight through hell, you need to keep going.

5. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Don’t allow the occasional failure to discourage you in any way. We all have failed in the past, and we all will fail in the future. So much is certain.
