Can we all agree that 2020 has been a complete disaster right from the start?
It seems like every single day we wake up and check our phones or turn on the news, a new negative has happened in the world. And day after day, month after month, its escalated, and to this point has really spiraled out of control.
This year so far has shown us that life can be really hard, and the things that are happening can be very discouraging and detract from our motivations and happiness.
If 2020 has crushed your dreams and has you feeling drained and out of inspiration, let these quotes serve as motivation to help you power through the rest of this year and onward.
One of the most influential leaders during the World War II era left us this gem of an inspirational quote.
Success is not final, meaning it isn’t something you can reach and settle into. Success is something you must work to achieve and then maintain in life.
If you don’t find success in what you do, it’s all good, because failure isn’t the end of the world. It isn’t going to kill you to go through some struggles.
When striving for your goals in life, you may deal with all sorts of failure, but having the courage to continue despite all of that is what really matters in the end!
Inspirational quotes typically come from motivational people, and Zig Ziglar made a living off making quotes like these.
Of course, the fruits from the labor we put in to reach our goals are extremely delicious, and they’re what we focus on the most when we are on our way to reaching them.
In the end, it’s how you grow and learn along the journey that matters most!
If you never take a shot at any of your goals and dreams, how will you ever accomplish what you want?
The greatest hockey player ever said it best in this quote. You’ll miss out on a lot of opportunities in life thinking none of them will work out. Go ahead and shoot your shot, you’re bound to score some goals!
Farrah Gray wants you to be your own boss in life. Chase your own dreams, start up your own business and make a name for yourself. If you don’t, you’ll be stuck building up someone else’s dreams.
Farrah Gray wants you to build yourself up, I want you to build yourself up, and you should want that, too!
Life is short, and you never know when its going to come to an end, so while you have life left, make the most of each day. Take risks, try new things, visit new places. Laugh, love and live it up to the fullest.
Live life with the goal of trying to make 1000 years worth of memories!
Feels like they’re talking about 2020, doesn’t it?
Things do seem like they’re falling apart left and right this year. It seems like an avalanche of insurmountable things, but life is full of ups and downs. We’re all in this together, so stay strong!
A well known lecturer in the 19th century, Ralph Waldo Emerson was no stranger to dropping some knowledge to his peers back in the day. Even today in the 21st century, his words still resonate.
Everybody has their own set of problems they face in life, and Emerson warned us all not to let them push us around mentally and emotionally.
Instead, we should be led forward by our dreams and aspirations. Always let what you want to achieve in life push you forward, and never let your problems hold you back!
These anonymous quotes really coming with some inspirational heat, huh?
This is another inspirational quote all about dreaming as big and as much as you can. Live life with a child’s imagination. A child’s imagination is limitless, and that is how you should think when it comes to your dreams.
This quote also encourages you to live to the fullest. Let everyday be full of life, because you never know if today is your last day to live it all up.
Never stop dreaming, and always make the most of every moment in life!
The GOAT himself makes this list with an inspirational quote of his own.
Basketball icon Michael Jordan labeled the three kinds of dreamers there are in the world; the people that really want them to come true, the people that truly wish they could come true, and the ones that go out and make it happen.
Know that no dream that you have is never too far out of reach, and if you aren’t where you want to be out of these three types of dreamers, make the changes necessary to become one of the people that make things happen!
Muhammed Ali was nearly imprisoned in the middle of his boxing prime for refusing to be drafted into the Vietnam war. He took a stand for not wanting to kill people that hadn’t done any wrong to him for a country that he faced severe racial injustice in.
Ali’s major causes were antiwar and civil rights, and even during what could have been the best years of his career, he sacrificed them for his cause. Something that was so much bigger than himself, one of the most polarizing figures on the entire planet at that time.
Ali’s inspirational quote let’s you know that, even while you’re fighting for something you truly believe in, you won’t lose anything in the end of the day. The only people losing are the ones that don’t have anything they stand for.
Always go all in on anything and everything that you’re passionate about, stand for and believe in in life!
Let each of these inspirational quotes open your eyes, challenge you and motivate you to change the way you think, be more conscious of your dreams and take full control of the way you live!
