MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES

Welcome to motivational quotes, we all need some positive reinforcement every now and again to keep us on track to achieve our goals, or to inspire us, or to give us hope.

People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in - told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream and more. Remind each other of this. ~ Stacey Jean Speer

Here you will find a selection of famous motivational quotes that we hope you will find useful as well as a new section of weight loss motivational quotes.

Truth Inside of You

A frog decided one day that he was
going to climb a tree and reach
the very top. All the other frogs
shouted at him saying:
"It's impossible, it's impossible..."
But the frog climbed the tree and
reached the top. How? Because he was
deaf and thought that everybody was
encouraging him to reach his goal.

Be deaf to negative thoughts,
if your aim is to reach your goals.

What appears to be the END
may really be a new BEGINNING

Anonymous

and is found in the PRESENT
by making peace with the PAST
and looking forward to the FUTURE

If it were easy, everybody would do it.

Dreams are like stars...
you may never touch them, but if you follow them they will lead to your DESTINY.

No one wants, pain.
But you can't have a rainbow,
Without a little rain
.

It's a New Week

I'm Alive
I'm Blessed
I'm Happy
I'm Grateful
God is good.
