PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Remember there can only be ONE.

and I mean the one that you could hear or look at EVERYDAY and still be inspired and ultimately motivated.

Here are a few (not saying they are my personal favorites) to get you going...

“Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.” ~ Jim Rohn
"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination." ~ Tommy Lasorda
“What is not started today is never finished tomorrow.” - ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"The best way out is always through." ~Robert Frost
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." ~ Lao Tzu

  "Consciousness is like a flower of many petals." ~ Seth (Jane Roberts)
  
  I remember this not so much because of the concept it conveys - which I treasure - but because it introduced my to the first step of an important journey of self-discovery; one that has been never-ending.
  
  It's from "The Seth Material", by Jane Roberts.
  
  Flowing from the above, I'm reminded of this quote:
  
  "I am not what happened to me. I am what I chose to become." ~ Carl Jung

Motivational quotes are sometimes important in your personal life when you don't see a step further and need hope, you can't succeed if you don't have motivation in life. My favourite Motivation Quote is:

“Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.”–William J. Bennett - The Book of Virtues
