Henry Ford had said that we are always right when we think whether we can or we can not. Thus, our attitude becomes the mental filter and through it we experience the world. When this filter is made up of optimism we see great many opportunities spread before us, can concentrate on the solutions, look for the good in others, and always count our blessings but when the filter is made up of pessimism the opportunities seem vanishing one by one before our eyes and we find ourselves helpless, often dwell on problems only, always find fault in others, and focus on what is missing.
Inspirational quotes are typically fragmentary thoughts, taken out of context, that are best used to get you thinking about their underlying meaning and about the big commitments and values of your life. As an example, let's take a look at President Franklin Roosevelt's quote, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself - nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror." Those words were a part of President Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address on March fourth 1933, in the depths of the Great Depression. But is it necessary to understand the context in order to appreciate the thought and apply it in your life? Not only is the context not necessary, but in my opinion, it actually makes it more difficult to focus the inspiration on your own issues around fear.
We all know that circumstances are not in our direct control but we can definitely control our own thoughts. When we are child our filter or window is squeaky clean. We stumble and fall down when we start walking. But we neither give up nor blame others for it. We just smile and start walking again. And after few weeks we get it right and walk straight and start running out of pure joy and sense of achievement as if we will conquer the world.
How do you make maximum use of motivational quotes? One great way to use motivational quotes is to help you develop a more positive and optimistic approach toward your life. We can easily find great quotes in inspirational books, biographies, in movies and from motivational speakers. These sources are great tools and opportunities for changing your outlook and boosting your self-confidence.
Inspirational quotes can be uplifting or motivational, spiritual or practical. Some of the most inspiring quotes, such as the Faith quote attributed to Martin Luther King Jr., share several of these qualities. For maximum impact on your life and goals, try to include a variety of types of inspirational quotes.Motivational quote sites are not easy to find. Some are good, but many are uninspiring. Most of them were odd and not easy to navigate.The reality is many of those websites are boring. The values of the quotes on many sites are vacant, weak and some are ineffective.
No one in this world gets the bed of roses always. Many devastating things may happen to us. We may have to endure many sufferings. We all face tough times in our life. But our response to all these will determine our attitude and the good thing is that we have the right to choose the right attitude though it may not seem easy. We can get the needed inspiration from the motivational quotes and start to live our life as always we have dreamed about. Let the light come inside our window and we can use these empowering principles to reach our full potential, earn more money, increase our spiritual awareness, and have more satisfying relationships.
Motivational quotes became very fashionable when the internet really took off, and people would use them as signatures in their posts on forums, or as signatures in their emails. A lot of quotes can be really effective, but there is also a real case of overkill, and a sense that using a someone else's words in your email or as any sort of tag line nowadays almost makes you look a bit cheap.
What, motivational quotes dangerous? And here's why: you've heard of "shelfware" and "shelf development", haven't you? You know, where someone's an Info Junkie and spends all their time and money researching and buying Shiny New Products to make them rich... and they use none of them, because it seems like they believe simply owning these things is enough? Reminds me of the folks who buy all the expensive gym-wear but don't lose any weight because the one thing they ain't doing is the one thing they need to do: work out! Anyway, motivational quotes and stuff are a bit like that.In other words, putting up some dreamy photo on Facebook with a smart caption from some long-dead philosopher or sage ain't the same as rolling up your sleeves and actually doing some work.Sure, you might feel good about it (and some of the quotes and inspirational sayings are pretty cool, it has to be said).And you might get a whole bunch of "likes" and comments (usually along the lines of "Way to go", "w00t!!", "sharing!" and other inane nonsense).You might even get that damp little feeling in your pants where you peed a little with excitement (it happens. so I'm told).
The power of a lot of stories, like quotes is in their meaning that goes beyond words, both in their literal meaning, but also in that that meaning touches us in away that is significant and often goes quite deep in our psyche. The reason people use motivational quotes so much, I think is because they have heard or read something that they find very significant and has affected them quite deeply in some way, and they want to share it, which is a very natural tendency. Problem is that you cannot share an experience in words or any other way really. Once you start trying to, you lose it and that is the problem with motivational quotes, they actually end up looking a bit cheap, which is quite the opposite effect of what you wanted in the first place.
