Below is a collection of my favorite motivational pieces (well… some might be more inspirational than others). I have included links for more information about the people behind them, though for a few lesser-known ones, I simply referenced where I first encountered them.
“Setting a goal, giving your all, and coming up short is scary. That’s what makes it great, that’s what makes you give your all to the project. And I think my fear is why I have done so well.”
“WE ARE FIREMEN!”
“Fate loves the fearless.”
“Destiny doesn’t make mistakes.”
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”
“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”
“It’s tough to get out of bed to do roadwork at 5 am when you’ve been sleeping in silk pajamas.”
“I’ll be fine once I get it. I’ll be good.”
“Destiny doesn’t do home visits.”
“If it’s meant for me, it won’t miss me.”
“Men are haunted by the vastness of eternity.”
“It was time to marry the game and I said, Yeah, I do.”
“It’s the curse of the standard.”
“Now the sky’s blackening. I know the mark’s high, butterflies rip apart my stomach.”
“If you want it, you gotta see it with a clear-eyed view.”
“To me fearless isn’t not having fears, it’s not that you’re not afraid of anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway.”
“Perfection is not just about control. It’s also about letting go.”
“It ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”
