25 inspirational quotes about success to motivate you

If you’re looking for inspirational quotes about success, you should consider what success means to you. Your definition of success will not necessarily be the same as someone else’s.

Success for you might be nothing more than being happy and content.

That’s admirable, of course. There’s nothing wrong with having that as your goal. However, someone else might be looking for a lot more from life.

For them, success might be an Olympic gold medal or winning the Super Bowl.

So, before you pursue success, you would do well to reflect on what it means to you and why you want it.

Knowing your ‘why?‘ is half the battle when it comes to achieving success.

Success is something that is desired by many people but that only a few truly achieve.

To be successful, you have to want it so bad that it hurts.

That’s why it’s important to know your why.

If you know your ‘why?’ you will be able to bear any ‘how?’.

You must be focused on your goals; you must be disciplined; you must be determined; you must be prepared to make sacrifices; you must be prepared to work very, very hard; and you must possess self-belief too.

Remember, nothing worth having ever comes easy.

If you want success, you must be prepared to pay the price in blood, sweat, and tears. And that price must always be paid first.

You’ll get nothing before you’ve paid the price.

You’ll find that even people who are an ‘overnight success’ have spent years honing their skills before favourable circumstances provided them with an opportunity to shine like a star.

Nothing happens overnight. You’ve got to work at it and keep working at it.

And remember this too; you’ll experience failure from time to time, and you’ll question whether you’re good enough over and over again.

The temptation to quit will be overwhelming at times. You’ll be constantly tempted to settle for an easier life. Don’t!

Success can be achieved if you stick to it and just keep going. Focus on the prize.

In the words of the late, great Muhammad Ali, I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’

Success can be yours if you work hard and hang on until you achieve whatever it is that you want to achieve. Just go for it!

And remember also; it’s better to try and fail than never having tried at all. At least you won’t spend the rest of your life wondering what might have been.

Here are 25 interesting and inspirational quotes about success.
