Motivational quotes to get yourself going

‘Only in the darkness can you see the stars’ – Martin Luther King Jr

I don’t know about you, but I’m far less motivated to do anything when it’s dark and cold. Here in the UK, it is dark at 4.30 pm and this week it has been COLD!! It’s not even December yet so we have a lot of dark and cold evenings to come. It’s not just going out either. I’m less motivated to do anything at all other than have a nice warm drink and snuggle up with a book or TV programme!

So in an attempt to get myself going, I started looking at motivational quotes. Here are some of my favourites – I hope you find one that gives you a boost too!

‘Always remember that you are powerful beyond measure, capable of pretty much anything you are willing to work for, and that you could change your life today’ – unknown

‘Today is your opportunity to build the tomorrow you want’ – Ken Poirot

‘Do something today that your future self will thank you for’ – unknown

‘Screw it, let’s do it – just get on with it and do it’ – Richard Branson

‘When life gives you Monday, dip it in glitter and sparkle all day!’ – unknown

‘Whatever you do, always give 100%. Unless you’re donating blood’ – Bill Murray

‘Don’t think about what can happen in a month, don’t think about what can happen in a year, just focus on the 24 hours in front of you and do what you can to get closer to where you want to be’ – Eric Thomas

‘Dreams don’t work unless you do’ – unknown

‘You may delay, but time will not’ – Benjamin Franklin

‘If you don’t do it, it won’t get done. And if you don’t do it now, you probably won’t do it at all. Motivation must defeat procrastination. This is a good time to get started’ – Patrick Pinckney

I hope you found something there that helped you get started! Although sometimes wasting time is not such a bad thing:

‘The time you enjoy wasting is not time wasted’ – John Lennon

So the tiny tweak this week is to pick a motivational quote that you like, write it out and put it somewhere where you can see it. I hope it helps!

Until next time xx
