Inspirational quotes about life can remind us of all the value that life has.
1. “Success means doing the best we can with what we have. Success is the
doing, not the getting, in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal
standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be.” –
Zig Ziglar
If you want to be successful, you don’t need to be so obsessed with the results.
Instead, you can pride yourself on the fact that you’re putting in an effort at
all.
2. “People who succeed have momentum. The more they succeed, the more
they want to succeed, and the more they find a way to succeed. Similarly,
when someone is failing, the tendency is to get on a downward spiral that can
even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.” – Tony Robbins
Getting down on yourself is only a solution if your goal is to not have any
success whatsoever. You can inspire success in yourself by recognizing your
achievements for what they are and going from there.
3. “A woman is a full circle. Within her is the ability to create, nurture, and
transform.” — Diane Mariechild
One person can make a difference. Even if you think that you alone can’t
change the world, without your presence, this world would be a very different
place. The more you realize this, the more of an impact you can make.
4. “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear
of failure.” ? Paulo Coelho
Trying and not succeeding should never be considered failure. The only thing
that should be considered failure is being so paralyzed by fear that you never
take any action.
5. “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were
to success when they gave up.” – Thomas Edison
When on the verge of a breakthrough, too many people throw in the towel.
Every step forward is a step closer to lasting success.
6. “Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.” –
Ingrid Bergman
Take a look around and reflect on your life. You might realize that what you’ve
been looking for has been in your clutches all along. You just needed to take a
moment to appreciate it.
7. “Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming
the things you once thought you couldn’t.” – Rikki Rogers
Inspirational quotes about life like this help remind us that getting past our
limitations is a key to personal freedom. Being able to turn “I can’t” into “I can”
is a feeling that should never be taken for granted.
8. “Stop chasing the money and start chasing the passion.” Tony Hsieh
When you’re doing what you love for a living, that’s more rewarding than any
massive paycheck. Being financially stable is important, but what’s more
important is knowing that what you do matters.
9. “Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today.” – Will Rogers
There’s a difference between reflecting and dwelling. When you reflect, you
learn from the past so you can make your future better. When you dwell, you
become preoccupied and obsessed with past mistakes to the detriment of your
future.
10. “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” — George
Addair
Dealing with fear isn’t about getting rid of it and then acting. It’s about having
the fear and acting anyway. Fear wants you to get the best of you, but you can
outsmart it through pushing ahead (1)
11. “Buckle up, and know that it’s going to be a tremendous amount of work,
but embrace it.” – Tory Burch
The road to success is as gratifying as the success itself. Every day that you’re
working towards a goal is a day worth cherishing.
12. “Today’s accomplishments were yesterday’s impossibilities.” – Robert H.

Schuller
You’ve made so much progress in your life. Things that once seemed like they
were insurmountable obstacles can now be done with ease. Remember this
the next time you think something is impossible.
13. “The pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees
opportunity in every difficulty.” – Winston Churchill
When you encounter challenges, you need to learn to not feel like you’re being
weighed down by them. Instead, you need to develop a strategy to work
through them.
14. “You cannot afford to live in potential for the rest of your life; at some
point, you have to unleash the potential and make your move.” – Eric Thomas
“Someday” is a promise that we never fulfill to ourselves. If you want to make

a change, you need to start right now. Inspirational quotes like this show how
much it matters to be living to your fullest potential.
15. “Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The
fearful are caught as often as the bold.” — Helen Keller
If you think the key to safety is to avoid taking any risks, you’re in for a rude
awakening. You need to put yourself out there and cherish the fact that you’re
not just staying in your comfort zone. Inspirational quotes about life like this
remind us that taking action opens all kinds of doors for us.
16. “For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” –
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Negative emotions take us away from the positive emotions that are so key to
making life worthwhile. When we feel happiness, we’re better equipped to
handle any challenges that might come our way. (2)
17. “It’s not whether you get knocked down. It’s whether you get up.” – Vince
Lombardi
Nobody is keeping track of your failures except for yourself. Inspirational

quotes like this remind us that what matters is being able to take difficult
situations in stride. Sure, you might have to find new strategies for your
subsequent attempts, but that’s better than becoming complacent.
18. “Always be a first-rate version of yourself instead of a second-rate version

of somebody else.” –Judy Garland
Trying to please everyone means that we lose sight of who we even are. Being
yourself doesn’t mean you don’t have anything to work on. It just means that
you know how best to present your strengths.

tomorrow.” – Robert Tew
Whatever hurdle you’re working to overcome now, it’s nothing compared to

the glory that awaits you. Every part of your journey is important, even the
ones that give you trouble.
20. “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which
you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived
through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.” – Eleanor
Roosevelt
Satisfaction in life doesn’t come from avoiding trouble completely. It comes

from getting yourself out of bad situations through resilience and faith in
yourself. No matter how tough things might seem, your own internal
toughness is what matters.
21. Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could
have been had you not been afraid to live in?” — Caroline Myss
Life is short, and it becomes even shorter if it’s one that’s not actually lived.

not just about the decisions you made but the fact that you made decisions in
the first place.
