Motivation Quotes
Here are the motivation quotes that I posted at my Motivation Facebook page during the last past of January.
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” ~ Albert Schweitzer
“Those who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed.” ~ Lloyd Jones
“Throw yourself wholeheartedly into your work; the more you enjoy it the better you get.” – Brian Tracy
“Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others.” – Robert Lewis Stevenson
“A cloudy day is no match for a sunny disposition.” ~ William Arthur Ward
“Whoever loves and understands a garden will find contentment within.” ~ Chinese Proverb
The first motivation quotes above by Albert Schweitzer is so important because it keeps reminding us that success alone is not enough for happiness. Look at so many people who are supposely successful yet they are unhappy. You read about such cases with celebrities all the time so we know that success is not enough. Instead, you must be happy to be really successful and much of it involves doing the things that you love doing.
Here are the other motivation quotes I posted.
“Humility makes great men twice honorable.” ~ Benjamin Franklin
“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” ~ Winston Churchill
“When you make a world tolerable for yourself you make a world tolerable for others.” – Anais Nin
“What we call failure is not the falling down but the staying down.” – Mary Pickford
“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” – Abraham Lincoln
“If life gives you limes, make margaritas.” ~Jimmy Buffett
The motivation quotes above by Abraham Lincoln is also quite inspiring as it suggests that happiness is really a result of a decision that each of us make for ourselves. If we choose to be happy, we will do the things that will make us happy. Happiness never really comes as a result of what somebody else does for us for the long term.
So the whole idea of being able to make somebody, whether a significant other or relative or friend, happy, is really only for the short term in my opinion. Long term happiness is a choice we all have to make.
