10 Extraordinary Motivational Sentences
Sometimes all it takes to change the way
people think is one simple sentence. A tiny piece of inspiring
information can make us look at something in a totally different light.
Whether it's about success, happiness, or something else entirely, words
have the power to make a significant impact.
Therefore, with this in mind, below you'll
find 10 motivational sentences, of which it might take just one to
change your life today.
1. "Everybody is given the same number of hours every day to accomplish
what they want to accomplish, and that's 24...no more, no less."
We all get given the same number of hours
to use each given day. This means that the likes of Bill Gates, Richard
Branson, and Warren Buffet all have the same amount of time every day as
we do. So really, if they can be successful, we can too.
We have the same amount of time to use to our advantage, so why can't we
put in the same amount of work and get the same results as they do?
2. "Some of the most successful people in the world have been rejected
hundreds of times before finally reaching success."
What do Colonel Sanders, Tim Ferriss, and J.K. Rowling have in common?
They were all rejected a number of times. In fact, they were rejected so
many times that if you tried to count, you'd run out of fingers and
toes pretty quickly.
Rowling and Ferriss' books were rejected by more than 20 publishers, and
Colonel Sanders' KFC recipe was rejected over 100 times before it
started making him some serious money.
Therefore, no matter how much rejection you suffer in life, there's
always hope. Don't forget that.
3. "20% of your problems are the reason for
80% of your unhappiness."
This is the old Pareto principle; where 20% of your efforts can equal
80% of the results. This principle also works for other areas and
aspects of your life.
Once you have realized this, you're able to identify the 20%, solve the
issues, and remove them from your life.
This is something that you can apply to many areas of life, whether it's
productivity, goals, happiness, or something else.
4. "It's possible for you to be earning half the amount of money
somebody else is earning, and still live a better and healthier life."
It's never about how much you are earning, it's about what you do with the money you earn, as well as how you're earning.
Someone could be slaving away working 80
hours a week in a job they hate, earning a six-figure salary, but spend
that money on material things they never even have the time to use.
Whereas somebody else could be traveling around the world doing what
they love, earning just enough to scrape by. They only work 30 hours a
week and are much happier. The difference of your life's quality is
never in how much money you're earning, but in how you're earning and
spending it.
5. "If you never ask for things, you'll never get them."
People like to wonder why there aren't any opportunities for them out
there. Well, it's because you're not asking for them! You're not
knocking on that door!
Even with small things, such as getting a discount on something you buy,
asking somebody out on a date, or getting an extra egg for breakfast
from the hotel. It's all about friendly smiles, conversations, and
actually asking the question.
This is can be applied to any situation in life. The sole thing to
remember is that you shouldn't wait for them to come to you.
6. "Big things have small beginnings, so don't be put off by starting
out small."
Amazon, Apple, Dell, Google and many other billion dollar companies
actually started off in garages or bedrooms.
If this doesn't inspire you, then nothing will. All these companies
started off small, and just look at how much they have grown over the
years.
Never be put off by the fact that you might be starting a business or
any other skill at the bottom of the barrel as big things always start
from small beginnings.
7. "You don't laugh at the same joke repeatedly, so why do you cry over
the same problems repeatedly?"
The first time we hear a joke it's hilarious. The second time, it's
funny. By the third, you probably won't laugh.
However, when it comes to
a problem we have, we get upset over it repeatedly.
We need to learn to worry less, and not waste our precious time crying
over the same problem.
8. "There won't always be tomorrow; so, it's safe to say that if you're
putting off something until tomorrow, it won't get done."
You can never say for certain if you'll be
waking up to another day tomorrow. It's a sad reality, that one day you
can be here, and the next you're gone.
The excuse of "I'll do it tomorrow," just doesn't fit right.
9. "Many people often hit rock bottom at
some point and still become successful."
There are some people out there who have grown up in rough
neighborhoods, poor families, bad circumstances, 3rd world countries,
and they've still gone on to become successful.
If people from all over the world who come from challenging situations
achieve big things, then why can't you?
10. "The most valuable thing you will ever have in life is time, and
it's always running out, so use it wisely."
More than friends, more than money, more than a job, more than
possessions, time is the most valuable asset you have in life.
However, most people don't treat time like it's that valuable. They care
more about the other things that are mentioned above. You can always
earn more money, find a new job, and make new friends, but you cannot
get more time. It's impossible.
The way you spend your time should be the most important thing to you.
Don't spend a second of your life complaining, worrying, or being
unhappy.
