Inspiration. Motivation. Perspiration.
Most pages of this site feature a random action quote appearing on the right side of the page. But if you really need an extended kick-in-the-butt, you can spend some time here going through all of the quotes in one location. I visit this section frequently, so don't feel like you're the only one needing inspiration from time to time.
Check back often as I'm adding new ones regularly. The page below displays quotes in the order I've added them. Enjoy.
"All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action."
"Always have lofty explicit goals and visualize them intensely. Assume the attitude that if you don't reach your goals, you will literally die! This type of gun-to-your-head forced focus... survival pressure mindset, no matter how briefly used, stimulates your mind, forces you to use your time effectively... and illuminates new ways of getting things done."
"Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world."
"Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire and begin at once, whether you ready or not, to put this plan into action."
"An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory."
"Action is the foundational key to all success."
"Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you."
"You can't just be an information gatherer. That's a mistake too many people make. Many folks invest enormous amounts of time and great sums of money in learning new facts and figures yet remain broke because they don't put any of this into use."
"Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do."
"Action = Competence = Confidence"
"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."
"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."
"If you don't design your own life plan, chances are that you'll fall into someone else's plan. And guess what they've got planned for you? Not much."
"Begin - to begin is half the work, let half still remain; again begin this, and thou wilt have finished."
"The greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making one."
"Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that's real power."
"Winners are not afraid of losing. But losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success."
"Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead."
