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.
“People have no personal growth because they NEVER REALLY START. They just talk about starting. Get off your butt! Throw away your excuses and get it going! Remember, absolutely nothing happens until you start. You don’t have to get it right. You just have to get it going!”
“Action defeats worry.”
“The man who does not make mistakes does not usually make anything.”
“The outcome is never truly certain. Start anyway. There are always obstacles along the road. Keep going anyway. Move forward despite the fear. That’s the secret to life!”
“Change before you have to.”
“Do everything you can, with whatever you have, RIGHT NOW. Stop waiting. Stop waiting for a better business. Stop waiting for permission. Stop waiting for better technology. Stop waiting for a better political climate. Stop waiting for a future event. Stop waiting for someone else to act. Stop waiting for something outside yourself to happen before you start taking action and start moving towards your goal. Adopt the self motivator—DO IT NOW.”
“The beginning is always today.”
“The nature of every new project or goal is it is stopped dead in its tracks until you break its inertia. You can think about it, ponder over it until the 12th of never, but you can not complete your project until you start it moving.”
“ACTION begins the process of achievement.”
"Don’t wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what? Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”
“Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.”
“Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.”
“It isn’t sufficient just to want - you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.”
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own, and you know what you know.
And you are the one who’ll decide where you’ll go.”
“Start by doing what’s necessary, then do what’s possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.”
