Top 5 Reasons People Use Motivational Quotes

12/26/2014

More often than not, we will come across our connections posting up motivational quotes on social media. I for one, have done it myself and see my friends do it as well. But what is the purpose behind posting or sharing these quotes? Here are the Top 5 reasons people use motivational quotes:

1) "Knowing is not enough. We must apply. Willing is not enough. We must do" 

- Jackie Chan

This quote is a call to action. It generates the intention of doing and applying. It's great to have the knowledge and the will to succeed, but without intent, all of this is practically useless.

2) "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion"

- Muhammad Ali

This quote plays more of an inspirational/motivational role. We (including myself) often focus on the here and now and gaining as much joy as we can before the times deny us that opportunity. If there is anything that life has taught me, is to push many things to the side and focus on what will make me successful in the future. Plan ahead and work hard now and with time, the fruits of your labor will be borne to you.

3) " A year from now, you will wish you had started today"

Time is a precious commodity for once it's lost, you can never gain it back. Use whatever time you have and make good use of it. It could be professional education, starting a project, applying for grad school, etc. Do not let it go to waste. Remember, the worst thing in life is to live with regrets.

4) "Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive about what could go right"


A common mistake often made is the anticipation that something wrong could come out of whatever move one chooses to make. Fact is, not every decision or choice is always going to be perfect. We have to do what we feel is best. Whatever wrong happens, can be used as a learning experience. The focus and emphasis needs to be on the positives of the outcome.

5) "Do it now. Sometimes 'later' becomes 'never'"

Procrastination is our worst enemy. Do not wait entitle last minute to do something. Do it now while the motivational and drive is still there. More often than not, if a task or project is not done now, it will never get done. That's the general rule of thumb.

The holidays are a hectic time of the year. Everyone is hustling and bustling, whether if is to go gift shopping, prepare for trips, planning family get togethers, decorating the house, the list goes on. In an attempt to make life easy here are some tips for enjoying the holiday season:

1) Plan Your Time
We all live a busy life. The majority of our days is spend working, with little time to relax or even enjoy ourselves. As such, whenever you get a day off, take the time to plan the week ahead. A lot each day or two for the completion of a particular task. For instance, use Monday and Tuesday to go gift shopping for everyone (yes it will be tiring, especially after a long work day, but it will pay off at the end), or a day to wrap presents or to decorate the house.

2) Family
The holiday season is the perfect time for everyone to be grateful for what they have, especially when it comes to family. Remember, not everyone is blessed to have extended relatives or even parents. Take the time to appreciate what you have.

3) Giving
There are many who may not have the means or resources to celebrate the holiday for whatever reason. Take the time to give back to your community. Be it creating toy drives, volunteering at soup kitchens, sending out holiday cards, all of these efforts, regardless if they are done separately or all together, will make a huge difference in the lives of those who may be unfortunate.

4) Enjoy the Holidays
After all the handwork you have put in, it's now time to sit back with your family and enjoy the holidays. Play games, generate a list of fun activities to partake in, have a wonderful holiday dinner, go out and watch the christmas tree lightings. End the year on a great note but start planning for next year. Take the lessons learned from 2014 and implement them for 2015. 

We hope this helped. There are many different ways to enjoy the holidays. Mix, match and personalize to your hearts content. There is no one right way.
