Henry Ford had said that we are always right when we think whether we can or we can not. Thus, our attitude becomes the mental filter and through it we experience the world. When this filter is made up of optimism we see great many opportunities spread before us, can concentrate on the solutions, look for the good in others, and always count our blessings but when the filter is made up of pessimism the opportunities seem vanishing one by one before our eyes and we find ourselves helpless, often dwell on problems only, always find fault in others, and focus on what is missing.
Significance of Motivational Quotes.Surely you have noticed that when you begin to feel low or depressed, it can affect your productivity and output. Your efficiency tends to suffer, and ultimately your enthusiasm wanes. This is when you need some motivation to get you back on your feet. One great way to increase your enthusiasm is to read motivational quotes. Just the simple practice of reading motivational quotes can help you in ways that you never imagined before.
We all know that circumstances are not in our direct control but we can definitely control our own thoughts. When we are child our filter or window is squeaky clean. We stumble and fall down when we start walking. But we neither give up nor blame others for it. We just smile and start walking again. And after few weeks we get it right and walk straight and start running out of pure joy and sense of achievement as if we will conquer the world.
There is often disagreement over the source of an inspirational quote. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. may or may not have said, ""Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Mark Twain quite likely did not say, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." Does it make an inspirational quote less meaningful or less inspirational because the author is unknown? For me, the value of inspirational quotes is mostly in the words, and how I can apply them to my own life, rather than in historical context. I find the Faith quote and the Twenty Years quote to be two of the most inspiring and motivating quotes I have found - whoever their authors may have been.
Shakespeare was very thoughtful when he said that there is nothing like bad or good but our thinking can make it so. We must take our responsibility to clean grimes from our windows. We must accept the consequences when we don't clean the glass but look towards our life through that smeared glass only. Otherwise we must show courage and clean our window by taking out our squeeze. This will make our dreams alive again.
Most importantly, motivational quotes become more meaningful and life-changing when dealing with other people. Quotes that inspire are instruments of change for a large number of people. When you share a motivational quote that matches the particular situation of a person who is down or confused, you can help them find a sense of optimism and good cheer.
Motivational quotes became very fashionable when the internet really took off, and people would use them as signatures in their posts on forums, or as signatures in their emails. A lot of quotes can be really effective, but there is also a real case of overkill, and a sense that using a someone else's words in your email or as any sort of tag line nowadays almost makes you look a bit cheap.
You should understand that quotes that are meant to motivate and inspire people are nothing all that new or unique. In fact, they have literally been around for centuries and centuries passed on by word of mouth. Some of them are fairly recent in comparison, but the point being, they all come from a varying list of sources.Now, you should better understand where many of these motivational quotes actually came from. In many cases, these quotes were spoken by a particular person in order to help encourage or motivate another person or group of people in the face of some dramatic event occurring at the time. Whether that be war, famine, drought, halftime with a losing score or what have you, the point was that the audience needed to be motivated and motivated they were.
The power of a lot of stories, like quotes is in their meaning that goes beyond words, both in their literal meaning, but also in that that meaning touches us in away that is significant and often goes quite deep in our psyche. The reason people use motivational quotes so much, I think is because they have heard or read something that they find very significant and has affected them quite deeply in some way, and they want to share it, which is a very natural tendency. Problem is that you cannot share an experience in words or any other way really. Once you start trying to, you lose it and that is the problem with motivational quotes, they actually end up looking a bit cheap, which is quite the opposite effect of what you wanted in the first place.
