The theme for my “Inspirational” Quotes community for the month of December is “Goal-Setting”. On New Year’s Eve in the United States of America we have a tradition of creating “New Year’s Resolutions,” quite often it is usually a list of things we intend to accomplish in the ‘New Year” and/or things we intend to change in our lives. I chose ”Goal-Setting” as my theme for December to encourage myself and others to begin that process early. This month I will post quotes about taking positive action and motivational quotes to assist in this process.
Of course we do not have to wait until New Year’s Day to begin to create positive change in our lives.
“The victory of success is half won when one gains the habit of setting goals
and achieving them. Even the most tedious chore will become endurable
as you parade through each day convinced that every task,
no matter how menial or boring, brings you closer to fulfilling your
dreams.” Og Mandino
“Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning;
they are an incentive to keep you going all day.
Goals tend to tap the deeper resources and draw the best out of life.”
Harvey
“The secret to getting ahead is getting started.
The secret of getting started is breaking your complex,
overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks,
and then starting on the first one.” Mark Twain
”I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life,
therefore, I demand of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment,
and I here and now promise to render such action.” Napoleon Hill
“Buddhism holds that everything is in constant flux.
Thus the question is whether we are to accept change
passively and be swept away by it or
whether we are to take the lead and create
positive changes on our own initiative.”
“We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives.
If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal.
My goal is to live my life in such a way
that when I die, someone can say, she cared.” Mary Kay Ash
“Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain.
An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind,
but many beautiful scenes are to be observed
from each new vintage point.” Harold B Melchart
“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something
they have deep inside them a desire, a dream, a vision.
They have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger
than the skill. ”Muhammad Ali
