Motivational Thoughts

"It's innocence when it charms us, ignorance when it doesn't.“

- Mignon McLaughlin

Why do we need motivation?

Many things can energize us to the point when nothing seems impossible and we are opened to embrace the opportunities and live our life fully – good movie, evening walk with dog, a shower, a firework, a theater play, a date, an act of kindness or

Inspiring thoughts said by people in those uplifting moments

InnocenceWe got used to our lives so much, that we don’t see the

beauty of usual things anymore – we gave things their names – wife, husband, car, work, snack – and too often we don’t look beyond these words

Look around yourself and see how many remarkable things are there – like sunrays bathing plate of foodon the table

“Truly wonderful the mind of a child is.“

“The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.”

Be yourself

- Anna Quindlen

Be yourselfTo understand who we are is the greatest gift we can give to

ourselves. It will guide us like a lighthouse and support us when we feel low.

And it’s not that difficult too – just look into your heart and you’ll see what makes you happy, do it, fill yourself with joy and inspire others.

Without becoming yourself you would anyway feel the tension to find out.

Open your eyes to see“God hides things by putting them all around us.”

– unknown author

“Most people see only first two storeys of the building they pass by. How many opportunities they might miss out of 100 storey skyscraper?”

- Forgotten Architecture teacher

AwarenessWe see things we’re used to see. The world we experience is more or

less a habit. Once we acknowledge a new thought we’ll start to experience it.

To change your life you need only to pay attention to

different things.

Achieve goals

“If you are to move a mountain, do not look upon it’s size, rather go and pick the first stone.”

- David Gemmell

“Stupid men with lazy minds. Instead of solving problems they wasted time seeking reasons why no solutions were available.”

- David Gemmell

Page 9: Motivational thoughts

Achieve goalsWe often use it as an excuse that we’re waiting for someone to do

their part. If we really desire the result, don’t give up the power by letting others decide when it’s ready. Do as much as

you can and then search for what more you can do. And there’s always something

more.

“If you want something to be done, do not wait for others to finish their part. Do as much as you can and then ask

yourself, what more can I do?”

- Vaclav Dekanovsky

When we got stuck

"There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go.“

- Richard Bach

When something bad happens

Everything is there for a reason. If you experience something you don’t like, focus on it, because it has a message for you. Once you understand the message your life will improve again.

Negative memories, beliefs and other burdens appear from time to time in our lives so that we can get rid of them and live more positive things.

Think, feel, live

positively

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves

him.“

- Buddha

Page 13: Motivational thoughts

Think, feel, live positivelyWhat we experience depends on our mood, thinking and feelings. If

someone is upset and you’re happy, are you attracted to that person? Or is rather his/her anger spoiling your happiness? You can either leave or help the other person to be happy, but you don’t want to switch happiness for wrath.

Positive state of mind also delivers inner peace which helps connecting to our intuition and easily achieve results.

Give up your expectations

”The awakened sages call a person wise when all his undertakings are free from anxiety about results.”

- The Bhagavat Gita

”I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep my expectations.”

- Bill Watterson

”A wonderful gift may not be wrapped as you expect.”

- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Page 15: Motivational thoughts

Give up your expectations

All our emotions are based on our expectations either being confirmed or not. If we stop connect ourselves with the emotion we can found out what is it we’re missing and aim for achieving it. That way we use our energy for the reaching the real goal and not for fueling our emotions.

So do the best you can, pray for guidance and pray for happiness, but do not expect that your ideal state will happen – the reality might be much more fascinating.
