Success – the one word that summarizes what the majority, if not all of us, want in order to consider our lives meaningful . However, during this journey to success, we all have days when we need a push from someone – Days when we need someone to tell us “You’ve got this”; “You can do it”; “Everything will be alright”; or “Keep pushing”. I know I do. And that’s why I love reading motivational/inspirational quotes on different subjects.
Whether there are from famous people or people who inspire me for various reasons, I love reading them. These quotes usually tell the life stories of their authors, what they went through and the lessons they learned along the way. So it is a great way to be even more motivated by these people; especially if we are aspiring to achieve some of the things they achieved.
So in this post, I am sharing some of my favorite quotes on success and motivation. I hope they inspire you.
