Motivational Quotes

The following are some motivational quotes I came across by Jim Rohn,  who was an American entrepreneur, personal development expert, and motivational speaker. I am a sap for motivational and inspirational quotes, so I will periodically be posting the best ones I can find...and many are by Jim Rohn.  I think it's valuable to read quotes like these and try to apply them to our own lives.  

Skills: Don't wish it were easier; wish you were better. Don't wish for less problems; wish for more skills. Don't wish for less challenges; wish for more wisdom.

Growth: Don't join an easy crowd. You won't grow. Go where the expectations and the demands to perform and achieve are high.

Change: We generally change ourselves for one of two reasons: inspiration or desperation.

Activity: The few who do are the envy of the many who watch. 

Success: Success is what you attract by the person you become.

Association: You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with.

Think about these and how they apply to you, your dreams, and your goals.  They may change your perspective a bit, motivate you further, and help push away the naysayers.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Hello Mama-press,
Wonderful post! Thanks for sharing these quotes by Jim Rohn. It is the first time I am hearing of him. These really make one reflect and are really motivational. I love quotations and find them so inspirational. My latest post 'BE INSPIRED' also lists some of my favourite quotations. When you have the time you could have a look at them. Have a happy long weekend. Take care.

I love these quotes. The one I love most is the last one. It's so true that our surroundings and the people in our life are such an influence on who we are and how we respond to various situations or circumstances. I've heard it said if you want to be successful, avoid hanging around with family or friends who have a closed minded view on life or a very negative attitude. Instead hang out with other successful, motivated, and positively driven people.

By the way, I like the changes you made to your header. :)

Blessings,
Rosann
