"What Are Motivation Quotes?"

"You are capable and worthy of being and doing anything. You just need the discipline and determination to see it through. It won't come instantly, and you may backslide from time to time, but don't let that deter you. Never give up. Life is an ever-changing process, and nothing is final. Therefore, each moment and every new day is a chance to begin anew."
Barbara Cage

"The biggest MISTAKE I would regret is not doing everything I wanted to do because I have been too worried about people's perceptions."
Copyright © 2008 Ivona Tuaimau- Evans
As a psychology student in Melbourne 1995, I was trying to determine a study major, e.g adolscents, aged, disability, education etc. While doing a placement at a nursing home for one of my university assignments, I was given this advice from one of its residents, a dainty elderly lady. "Go out and do what ever you want to do and do not worry about what people think. If only I had the time again, I would have done everything I wanted to do", she told me with such sadness and tears as she wished upon a different life. These words have been an inspiration to me and yes, I decided from then that I would work in the area of prevention. I am so glad to have met this lady otherwise I would have been a statistic of my circumstances. And if Maureen is still around, thank you also for the encouragement all those years...words are a powerful tool for success.

"You don't need a trophy to be a winner."
Written in 2009 by Raymond C. Nolan --- Alabama
While attending a recent awards ceremony I couldn't help but think that there were so many participants and so few trophies. I feel that the real winner is the one who attends all the practices, works hard to stay in shape and goes to every game while sitting on the bench cheering his or her teammates on. We should have a trophy for that person.

Author Unknown --- Submitted by Vikramjit Biswas --- India
Attitude and outlook towards life is what makes a person a winner or a loser. Whenever we're confronted with a new task, our immediate reaction is negative. This needs to change to rise in life. So whenever it's something new, don't shy away from it. Face it in the eye and say "I CAN!"

"Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - Family, Health, Friends and Spirit - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for it."
