12 quotes to make you feel more motivated, inspired, and self-disciplined.

We often need a little motivation, inspiration, and positivity in our lives.

I recently downloaded The Headway reading app. An app that summarizes popular (and not so popular) books and give bite-sized extracts for you to read or listen to!

The first book I read was called No excuses by Brian Tracy. I loved the read and thus highlighted a few quotes from the book that I thought was pretty inspiring and motivating. It was food for thought and made a lot of sense.

Here are some of them, hope they inspire, motivate or help you with better self-discipline.

  1. The true measure of your success in life is your ability to achieve your own happiness. Nothing is more essential than this, and nothing can replace it.”
  2. In life, everyone wants to be successful. Everyone wants to be healthy, happy, fit, and rich. But not everyone is willing to pay the price. One way or the other, people always come up with some excuse or rationalization for not disciplining themselves to do everything that they need to do to achieve their goals.”
  3. Happy relationships. We, humans, are social animals, and most of our happiness — or unhappiness — comes from our relationships with other people. So don’t ever take your relationships for granted, especially the ones most important to you.”
  4. Health and energy. This is the most important element of a good life. It is only when you enjoy sound health and a continuous flow of energy that you feel truly happy. Throughout your life, you must use discipline and willpower to achieve and maintain high levels of health and fitness.”
  5. A big problem in our society today is that most people think that they already have goals. But what they really have are hopes and wishes. Unfortunately, neither hope nor wish is a strategy for success. In fact, wish has been defined as a goal with no energy behind it.”
  6. “We are what we repeatedly do; excellence then is not an act but a habit.” ~ Brian Tracy
  7. People who are positive and optimistic usually have stronger immune systems, and rarely get sick”
  8. Goals that are not written down and developed into plans are like bullets without powder in the cartridge.”
  9. “There are two opposing forces or mechanisms at work in the human mind: the failure mechanism and the success mechanism. The failure mechanism is the default mechanism that operates automatically throughout everyone’s life. It is that innate temptation to follow the undisciplined path of least resistance, to do what is fun and easy rather than what is hard and necessary.”
  10. The success mechanism, on the other hand, is triggered by goals. When you decide on a goal, you override your failure mechanism, and this ultimately changes the direction of your life. You go from living a purposeless life to living a life with a clear destination. You will find yourself sailing in a straight direction toward your goal.”
  11. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.” ~ Brian Tracy
  12. Integrity is the value that guarantees all the other values”

I hope these bring some sort of inspiration or motivation to your personal or work life and give you as much “food for thought” as they did for me.
