Words are powerful but they can be like the double edged swords too. Words can be used to love or hate, help or hinder, encourage or discourage, heal or wound… Therefore, they have to be used carefully, not only when you are communicating with others but also to yourself.

Here are the 6 motivational and inspiring quotes or words you can use for self motivation each day…

1. Focus on remedies, not faults – Jack Nicklaus.
When you focus on problems or mistakes, you will inadvertently create more problems. On the other hand, if you focus on solution, the problem will eventually disappear. So which one do you prefer to focus on? Mistakes are to be learned from, not to dwell on. So don’t waste your energy and time on creating more problems, spend them on finding solutions.

2. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Success needs motivation but motivation is fueled by enthusiasm. It’s what propels you toward your goals. Just setting goals and mere wanting are inadequate, you must also have a burning desire otherwise nothing great can ever be achieved.

3. Every man is the architect of his own fortune – Sallus.
Do not blame God or anyone else for your misfortune. It is useless and waste of time to do so. You need to strive above all things because it is your life and everything that happens to you is within your power. Nothing great is achieved overnight but if you work smart and believe in yourself, you will eventually get what you want. Your destiny is shaped by yourself. So start design your destiny today!

4. Anger and haste hinder good counsel – English Proverb.
Anger and hurry muddle up the mind. When you’re angry, you can’t think clearly. So everytime when you find yourself feeling angry or act hastily, stop for a moment, take a deep breath and calm yourself down. This way, you will see things more clearly and able to take action more wisely.

5. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist - Jack London.
Live your life in the present moment. Do not cling to your past mistakes, learn from them and move on. Also, do not attach yourself to future expectations for stress and anxiety will overcome you. Live with respect and dignity today, and the future will be taken care of by itself.

6. One who is skilled in defeat shall never see destruction - Tai Gong Wong.
“Defeat is the Master of Success” is a very popular saying or maxim in China. If you fail or fall down, don’t give up. Get up and try again, it will increase your determination and strengthen your confidence. Don’t give up, be courageous and try again when you fail.

Hope these words can give you some motivation today! Have a nice day.
