All Birds find shelter during rain. But the eagle avoids rain by flying above clouds.” – Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

There are a plethora of books that tell us the definition of motivation. Each of us is motivated by someone or something to do the best that we can in every life’s endeavor. Motivation always produces a positive outcome.

It aims to help the person to go beyond the length of what he can do. How about you? What motivates you to go to work? What motivates you to attend school daily? What motivated you to finish your studies? What motivated you to work harder every day?

You have probably read many motivational books and listened to motivational speakers speak about this matter. Which motivational statement struck you the most? Whether you already have a motivation or not, it can help to read more quotes from other people.

So if you are having a bad day or just becoming impatient of the events in your life, take a motivational quote with you. Sometimes, you might feel that life has become empty and vague, and you start losing hope. Remember, there is always a silver lining in every difficult situation.

Etch one quote in your heart. Take it like a pill, a supplement, a vitamin that you can bring wherever you go or whatever you do.

Our motivational quotes can serve as a reminder to all of us that sometimes, we do not have to look far and wide for motivation. We can be our motivation. Our day begins and ends with us, and so every decision, goal, accomplishment, and every grain of setback will all end up with us.

As we begin yet another day, let us breathe in some of the motivational quotes we have read and breathe out the fears and worries of yesterday. “Live one day at a time.”
