Motivation

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  -- Marianne Williamson


“He is able who thinks he is able.”

“Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive.”

 Robert H. Schuller quotes

“Challenge and opportunity are motivating friends of a consistent winner.”

“I was thinking one day and I realized that if I just had somebody behind me all the way to motivate me I could make a big difference. Nobody came along like that so I just became that person for myself.”

People forget how fast you did a job - but they remember how well you did it."
         Howard Newton


“I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can't motivate people to do things, you can only demotivate them. The primary job of the manager is not to empower but to remove obstacles.”
Scott Adams quotes (American Cartoonist, b.1957)


“If your people are headed in the wrong direction, don't motivate them”

 George Odiorne quotes


I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots. I’ve lost almost 300 games. I’ve failed over and over again in my life.

And that is why I succeed.

-- Michael Jordan

A boo

is a lot louder than a cheer.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.  -- Dalai Lama
