QUOTES ABOUT MOTIVATIONIf you’re having problems getting motivated, then here are 21 thought-provoking quotes about motivation that will help you.

Motivation is the enthusiasm you have for what you’re doing or what you’d really like to be doing.

It’s a burning desire to pursue your dream.

It’s the irrepressibility and steely self-belief you possess.

And it’s the certainty that you know what you want and the determination you have to get it.

Motivation is the magic ingredient that will translate effort into success. You will not succeed unless you’re genuinely enthusiastic about whatever it is you’re doing. Success is unlikely to happen by accident.

However, you’ll succeed if you love what you’re doing and it really matters to you.

Your desire must be so great that no one can stop you from going where you’ve decided to go.

If someone closes the door on you, you’ll climb through the window. If they build a wall to stop you, you’ll get over it no matter what, even if you have to build stairs to help you.

If you can’t find a way, you’ll make one. That’s motivation.

Never accept an answer unless it’s the one you want. With motivation, you’ll succeed. Without it, you cannot succeed.

That’s my opinion, of course, but here are the 21 thought-provoking quotes about motivation, and they reflect the opinions of some of life’s greatest thinkers.
