Motivation Quotes!
One of the most important things to work on in your life is motivation. Deciding what you want in life, and going for it.

Why motivation quotes? Well, there are basically two kinds of motivation. You are either going after something or some situation you want, or you are trying to get away from a situation or something that causes you pain. So the first step is to decide what you want or what you want to get away from.

That alone is not enough to achieve your goal. You have to also find out how to get what you want. To illustrate that motivation isn't all that is required, consider what Jim Rohn says about motivation: "If you've got an idiot and you motivate him...now you've got a motivated idiot."

So it's not just motivation. It's a combination of both finding out what you want to acquire or what you want to delete in your life. And then how to accomplish your goal.

To get your juices flowing, here are some motivation quotes about motivation, desire and success to think about. But don't just think about them, also act on them.

Let's get started:


Napoleon Hill

"Individuals who succeed have a belief in the power of commitment. If there's a single belief that seems almost inseparable from success, it's that there's no great success without commitment. If you look at successful people in any field, you'll find they're not necessarily the best and the brightest, the fastest and the strongest. You'll find they're the ones with the most commitment."

Anthony Robbins

"The most essential factor is persistence,the determination never to allow your energy or enthusiasm to be dampened by the discouragement that must inevitably come."

James Whitcomb Riley
