7 inspirational quotes about success

08/08/2020 by Roy Sutton

If you’re looking for inspirational quotes about success then first think about what success really means to you. Your definition of success will not necessarily be the same as someone else’s.

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

That’s admirable of course, and 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 which only the 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 then 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 and keep working at it.

And remember this too; you will experience failure from time to time and you will 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 at 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 in there 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 seven interesting and inspirational quotes about success.

Inspirational quotes about success:

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy. ~Norman Vincent Peale
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There’s that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not? ~LeBron James
Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfilment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. ~Jack Canfield
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. ~Vince Lombardi
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure. ~Erin Cummings
Every successful individual knows that his or her achievement depends on a community of persons working together. ~Paul Ryan
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

7 inspirational quotes about money

08/05/2020 by Roy Sutton

People may tell you that money’s not important but, after oxygen, few things are more important to sustaining life in the modern age. So it’s essential that we take good care of our money and use it wisely.

That’s not to say we should be mean or stingy. Quite the contrary; being generous when it’s appropriate is very important.

However, we should not waste money or fritter it away on things we don’t need and/or will never use.

Enjoy your money when you have it but always put a little away for a rainy day because one day it will rain, of that you can be absolutely sure, dear reader.

Build capital over time and that capital can then generate an income stream for you.

Money can make your life easier of course but on its own it will not make you happy. Never make the mistake of assuming that it will.

Happiness comes from within and if you’re not happy without money then having some money is unlikely to improve that situation.

Never chase money for its own sake. The personal cost of being overly acquisitive is likely to be very high indeed.

Make sure you have some balance in your life; then do what you love; do it well and the money will follow.

And never forget this; money is important but the people in your life are far more important. You can have all the money in the world but without people in your life, you have nothing.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about money to help you reflect on what it really means.

Inspirational quotes about money:

Anybody who thinks money will make you happy hasn’t got money. ~David Geffen
When I was young I thought that money was the most important thing in life; now that I am old I know that it is. ~Oscar Wilde
A wise man should have money in his head but not in his heart. ~Jonathan Swift
Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish but it will not replace you as the driver. ~Ayn Rand
Bottom line is, I didn’t return to Apple to make a fortune. I’ve been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn’t going to let it ruin my life. There’s no way you could ever spend it all, and I don’t view wealth as something that validates my intelligence. ~Steve Jobs
There are people who have money and people who are rich. ~Coco Chanel
Money can buy you a fine dog, but only love can make him wag his tail. ~Kinky Friedman

5 quotes about communication that will make you think

08/03/2020 by Roy Sutton

In the field of human relations, effective communication is very important. Yet communication or lack of it is so often the cause of so many of our problems. After all, it’s not what we say, it’s what we mean. In this post, there are 5 quotes about communication to help you consider this point.

We may think we’ve said something clearly but did the other person understand the meaning of our words in the way they were intended? Did we use the right words to convey our underlying message?

All too often we fail to get our message across clearly. Then we can find ourselves arguing with someone due to a miscommunication when in fact both parties have no underlying disagreement at all.

If you’re the communicator then it is your responsibility to ensure that the receiver of your communication understands its meaning clearly. It is not the receiver’s job to work out what you really meant. And of course it’s not only what you say, it’s the way that you say it.

I can use exactly the same words with a different tone and convey a totally different meaning. For instance, if you walk into a room and I say your name warmly and with a smile then it suggests I’m pleased to see you and you will respond accordingly.

Alternatively, if I scream your name as you enter that same room then you will conclude that I am not happy with you at all and you will become very defensive.

So think carefully before you speak. If you’re in any role where you are a leader of people then good communication skills are vital if you are to execute your duties successfully.

So learn the art of good communication and remember that your tone is as important as your words.

Treat people with respect and they will respond well. Put them at ease when speaking with them and make sure they clearly understand your message as it was intended. Good communication is essential for effective leadership.

Here are those five quotes about communication:-

Quotes about communication:

To effectively communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others. ~Tony Robbins
Take advantage of every opportunity to practice your communication skills so that when important occasions arise, you will have the gift, the style, the sharpness, the clarity, and the emotions to affect other people. ~Jim Rohn
Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. ~Buddha
Words are singularly the most powerful force available to humanity. We can choose to use this force constructively with words of encouragement, or destructively using words of despair. Words have energy and power with the ability to help, to heal, to hinder, to hurt, to harm, to humiliate, and to humble. ~Yehuda Berg
The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said. ~Peter Drucker

15 Quotes by Helen Keller

07/31/2020 by Roy Sutton

Helen Adams Keller was an American author, political activist, and lecturer. She was an inspiration to us all. So, surely it’s worth considering some quotes by Helen Keller?

Helen Keller was in fact, the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

With the help of her teacher, Anne Sullivan, Helen Keller broke through the isolation imposed on her by a near-complete lack of language, allowing her to blossom as she learned to communicate.

Keller proved to the world that deaf people could learn to communicate and that they could survive in the hearing world.

Helen Keller is a prime example of someone who despite considerable disadvantages was able to realise her full potential, through determination, hard work and a refusal to be defined by her disadvantages.

She’s a role model not only for deaf people but for everyone who struggles to deal with the disadvantages life has bestowed upon them.

So, today let us reflect on 15 excellent quotes by Helen Keller which I hope will inspire you, dear reader.

Whenever you feel that life is being unfair to you I recommend that you think of Helen Keller and people like her and remember that anything is possible if you just keep focused on your objectives.

Quotes by Helen Keller:

What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me. ~Helen Keller
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough. ~Helen Keller
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. ~Helen Keller
The highest result of education is tolerance. ~Helen Keller
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched; they must be felt with the heart. ~Helen Keller
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence. ~Helen Keller
What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. ~Helen Keller
Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. ~Helen Keller
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained. ~Helen Keller
Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others. ~Helen Keller
Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties. ~Helen Keller
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired and success achieved. ~Helen Keller
Never bend your head. Always hold it high. Look the world straight in the eye. ~Helen Keller
We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world. ~Helen Keller
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. ~Helen Keller

7 inspirational quotes about courage

07/29/2020 by Roy Sutton

Have you ever been faced with a challenging situation dear reader? One which requires courage. One with which you think you may not be able to cope? And maybe you tell yourself you lack courage?

Well, don’t be too hard on yourself.

Everyone feels fear in challenging situations, that’s just human nature. It’s our ‘fight or flight’ response to danger.

Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the mastery of fear.

Fear is just a natural instinct which serves to protect us. It makes us tread carefully in circumstances which otherwise could be a danger to us.

Courage is the strength to rise above that which we fear and to remain in control of our natural instincts.

Courage is having the mental strength to feel the fear and then do it anyway.

Courage is not allowing our natural instincts to prevent us from doing what is right.

With every experience, we grow stronger and our confidence increases. If we can overcome one challenge then we can overcome another. So believe in your own ability and have courage dear reader.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about courage to help you reflect on what it means and why it’s important.

Quotes about courage:

He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. ~Muhammad Ali
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. ~Steve Jobs
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. ~Nelson Mandela
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen. ~Winston Churchill
Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go. ~TS Eliot
Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway. ~John Wayne
All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

What is failure? Here are 10 quotes to put it into perspective

07/26/2020 by Roy Sutton

What is failure? We hear this word frequently but what does it actually mean?

It is so easy to be crushed by a sense of failure and yet actually there is no such thing as failure in my opinion. There are only outcomes that we didn’t want and lessons to be learned.

It’s not about how many times you get knocked down dear reader; it’s how many times you can get back up again and have another go until you get it right.

You cannot truly enjoy the victory when it comes, if you have not first known defeat.

You cannot achieve anything without the experience of at least the occasional failure along the way. Every master of their craft started out as a beginner.

Yes, that is true. Before anyone was a success, they started out as a complete beginner. And the road from beginner to achiever and master of your craft is inevitably littered with mistakes and failures. These are significant only for the lessons they teach us.

If you’re determined, persistent and hungry for success, you’ll just keep trying until you get where you want to go. If you really want to succeed, you’ll learn the lessons and then find a way to achieve your goal and realize your dream. If not you’ll just make excuses.

Never allow yourself to be overwhelmed by a sense of failure. It’s never fatal, at most it’s just a minor setback from which you can recover. Above all, never, ever give up until you get to where you were trying to go.

Success can be yours if you want it badly enough. And remember this; it is better to try and fail than never to have tried at all.

Here are 10 quotes to help you put the idea of failure into perspective.

What is failure?

I can accept failure; everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying. ~Michael Jordan
Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts. ~Winston Churchill
I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. ~Thomas A. Edison
There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. ~Colin Powell
Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure. ~Paulo Coelho
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space. ~Johnny Cash
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat. ~Theodore Roosevelt
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. ~Steve Jobs
It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default. ~JK Rowling
Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday. ~Wilma Rudolph

7 inspirational quotes about age

07/24/2020 by Roy Sutton

Today I offer you some quotes about age.

Many of us spend far too much of our time fretting about our advancing years. However, should we really? Age is just a number surely? Well, maybe! Then again, each birthday reminds us that time is passing.

On the other hand, as we get older we gradually become more comfortable being the people we are. We worry less about what others think and we concentrate more on simply being ourselves and enjoying life as best we can.

For me, the most important thing is that we make the most of our lives. I regard age as simply being a state of mind. Only when I lose interest in everything new will I truly regard myself as old.

As long as I am still keen to learn, experience new things, set myself new goals and rise to new challenges then I will never be old.

However, think old and you are old. So choose to think young, constantly learn and test yourself. That will keep you young at heart. And forget the number, just focus on enjoying the moment.

Here are seven inspirational quotes about age to help you put it all in perspective.

Quotes about age:

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. ~Mark Twain
Do not go gentle into that good night but rage, rage against the dying of the light. ~Dylan Thomas
Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. ~Henry Ford
Probably the happiest period in life most frequently is in middle age, when the eager passions of youth are cooled, and the infirmities of age not yet begun; as we see that the shadows, which are at morning and evening so large, almost entirely disappear at midday. ~Eleanor Roosevelt
There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age. ~Sophia Loren
Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art. ~Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old. ~George Burns

7 inspirational quotes about love

07/23/2020 by Roy Sutton

We all need love and we need to feel love, wouldn’t you agree dear reader?

Human beings are emotional and social creatures and we all need other people.

We need a sense that we matter to other people. And of course, other people matter to us too. Our family, our friends and our loved ones.

We feel love for those who matter to us and our greatest love is for that person who matters most.

Our greatest love is felt for that person in whose company we always feel a sense of contentment.

If you’ve found that special person then get down on your knees and thank God for the privilege because you’re lucky indeed. Not everyone is quite so lucky.

Here are 7 inspirational quotes about love to help you reflect on this complex emotion.

However, remember this; love alone won’t sustain a relationship.

That requires hard work and a lot of compromise.

Nevertheless, without love, a relationship has no chance at all.

If you truly love someone, you’ll want what’s best for them and you’ll be prepared to set aside your own needs occasionally to ensure that their needs are being satisfied too.

In a successful relationship, all parties must feel their needs are respected and being met, at least most of the time.

Love means you can’t have your own way all of the time.

Inspirational quotes about love:

Where there is love there is life. ~Mahatma Gandhi
There’s only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved. ~George Sand
A flower cannot blossom without sunshine and man cannot live without love. ~Max Muller
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. ~H Jackson Brown, Jr
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. ~Oscar Wilde
The best thing to hold onto in life is each other. ~Audrey Hepburn
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses. ~Ann Landers
