I’m a big believer in the inspirational power of “quotes of the day” — pearls of wisdom that one reads each morning and indeed, throughout the day, to help keep us focused and motivated.
Below is a mini quote collection that contains very powerful reminders of why we should always keep our minds focused on the bright, happy and the good. Enjoy!
“In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact.” — Les Brown
“I’ve found that there is always some beauty left — in nature, sunshine, freedom, in yourself; these can all help you.” — Anne Frank
“It’s a wonderful thing to be optimistic. It keeps you healthy and it keeps you resilient.” — Daniel Kahneman
“Our life is what our thoughts make it.” — Marcus Aurelius
“There is always light. If only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.” — Amanda Gorman
“What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficult, and every difficulty has an opportunity.” — J. Sidlow Baxter
“Decide what you want. Believe you can have it. Believe you deserve it and believe it’s possible for you.” – Jack Canfield
“Either you run the day or the day runs you.” – Jim Rohn
“Life is too short to spend another day at war with yourself.” – Ritu Ghatourey
“Look at people for an example, but then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people.” — Queen Latifah
“Sometimes, you have to let go of the picture of what you thought about life and learn to find joy in the story you are actually living.” – Rachel Marie Martin
And some very wise words from Norman Vincent Peale, the Author of “The Power of Positive Thinking”:
“A man who is self-reliant, positive, optimistic, and undertakes his work with the assurance of success magnetises his condition. He draws to himself the creative powers of the universe.”
“If your eyes are looking down in the mud and you feel a sense of failure, you will create defeat for yourself. Optimistic visualisation combined with prayer and faith will inevitably actualise achievement.”
“Mark every passage in the Bible that speaks of faith, hope, happiness, glory, radiance. Commit each to memory. Say them over and over again until these creative thoughts saturate your subconscious mind. Then the subconscious will return to you what you have given it, namely, optimism, not worry.”
“Avoid argument, but whenever a negative attitude is expressed, counter with a positive and optimistic opinion.”
