Here is a famous motivation quote, and what it has meant for my success
I have always been a huge fan of motivational quotes, especially since I have been pursuing my own dreams and therefore need a constant flow of motivation and inspiration.
There’s one famous motivation quote in particular that I want to share with you, as well as tell you how it has impacted my life.
The thoughts come from a great mind, one of the greatest motivational speakers in the past century, Brian Tracy.
And here’s what he said:
you are always free to choose what you do with your life. To make changes in your future, make the choices today.
this quote stuck with me because for the first time I realized that I really could pursue my highest aspirations.
We all want different things in life, but many of us do not attempt to achieve them because we do not feel capable or worthy.
We feel limited by many things like are family history, our experience or age, our level of education, our lack of capital, or many other things.
What I realized is that these are all excuses for not pursuing what we truly want to achieve, and nothing more.
And I realized that I was where I was because of the choices that I had made in the past.
Many people do not take responsibility for their current situation, especially if it is not the ideal one.
But, not being able to take responsibility for your situation means that you are not willing to accept the present reality.
If you cannot accept that you have gotten yourself where you are, how can you expect to be motivated enough to get where you want to go?
I’ve realized that I was where I was because of the choices I had been making, and I also realized that I could change my life if I change the choices that I made.
If you decide what you want to do, and keep it in mind at all times, your choices will stop coming from your habitual thinking and will start coming from your new perspective.
Many choices that we all make are habitual, and we react out of habit rather than conscious choice.
But something that I have realized is that when you know where you want to go, and you commit yourself to getting there, you’ll begin to think of the choices that you make in each moment and make sure they are aligned with your greater purpose.
It is been said that our greatest power is the power to choose. I agree with this because when you choose to change your life, you take control over it.
