60 Empowering Quotes to Help You Get Things Done

1. Just because you are struggling does NOT mean you are failing. Every great success requires some kind of struggle to get there.

2. It doesn’t matter if you’ve failed or if you’ve been beaten. All that matters is that you learn something, get back up, and try again. Because winning is a good feeling, but winning when nobody else thought you could is an awesome feeling.

3. Stop beating yourself up. You are a work in progress; which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once. (Read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.)

4. ‘Finished last’ will always be better than ‘Did not finish’, which always trumps ‘Did not start.’

5. Don’t think too much, or you’ll create a problem that wasn’t even there in the first place.

6. Thinking too long about doing something is often the reason it never gets done.

7. If you truly want to change your life, you must first change your mind.

8. Most great things in your life won’t happen by chance, they will happen by choice.

9. Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect.

10. Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

11. There are seven days in the week and someday isn’t one of them.

12. You don’t have to be great to get started, but you do have to get started to be great.

13. Sitting on the right track is equivalent to racing down the wrong track.

14. Procrastinators who say, “There’s always tomorrow!” deny the reality that one day, they will be wrong.

15. Do something today that your future self will thank you for.

16. It’s easier to take a small action now instead of a big action ’some day.’

17. What you do every day matters more than what you do every once in a while.

18. The real world doesn’t reward perfectionists. It rewards people who get things done.

19. If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

20. The best way to prepare for the future is to take care of the present.

21. Don’t forget what happened, but understand that you cannot move forward while looking backwards.

22. Don’t carry your mistakes around with you. Instead, place them under your feet and use them as stepping stones.

23. Mistakes teach you important lessons. Every time you make one, you’re one step closer to your goal. The only mistake that can truly hurt you is choosing to do nothing simply because you’re too scared to make a mistake.

24. Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing.

25. No matter how many mistakes you make, or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.

26. Your mistakes should be your motivation, not your excuses.

27. Past mistakes should teach you to create a wonderful future; not cause you to be afraid of it.

28. Don’t get caught up in wasted potential from years past. Potential is all we ever have. (Read The Power of Now.)

29. No matter how long you have traveled in the wrong direction, you always have the choice to turn around.

30. You don’t drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

31. Stop looking back at the door shutting behind you before you walk past the door opening in front of you.

32. Growth begins at the end of your comfort zone.

33. Being uncomfortable and uncertain is part of learning and growing. Get used to it. It’s worth it.

34. In order to be creative, we must lose our fear of being wrong.

35. Take a chance on the opportunities your gut says are good, because some things only happen once.

36. Don’t let your fear of what could happen make nothing happen.

37. If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down.

38. When you stop worrying about what you can’t control, you have time to change the things you can control.

39. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.

40. You might think you’re not good enough, but you’ll surprise yourself when you try.

41. People seldom do things to the best of their ability. They do things to the best of their willingness.

42. Don’t worry about others doing better than you. Concentrate on beating your own records every day. Success is a battle between YOU and YOURSELF only.

43. You’ll never reach your destination if you keep stopping to tell everyone where you’ve been and what you’ve accomplished.

44. If you are still talking about what you did yesterday, you haven’t done much today.

45. “Time changes everything.” That’s what people say, but it’s not really true. Doing things changes things. Not doing things leaves things exactly as they were.

46. Every day we are faced with great opportunities disguised as difficult circumstances.

47. There is a hidden treasure inside every problem. It’s your job to find it.

48. Nothing is impossible. The word itself says “I’m Possible.”

49. If you want to get over a problem, stop mulling it over and talking about it. Your mind affects your mouth, and your mouth affects your mind. It’s nearly impossible to move beyond something when you’re obsessing over it.

50. Worrying is like a rocking in a chair: it keeps you busy, but doesn’t get you anywhere.

51. Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent.

52. The one who wins the race in the long run is usually not the strongest or the fastest, but the one who has tried the hardest.

53. Often it’s the deepest pain which empowers you to grow into your highest self.

54. The one who falls and gets up it so much stronger than the one who never fell.

55. The only difference between an obstacle and an opportunity is your attitude. (Read How Full Is Your Bucket?)

56. When something bad happens, you can either let it define you, let it destroy you or let it strengthen you. The choice is yours.

57. You have three choices in life: Give up, give in, or give it all you’ve got.

58. Don’t look back and ask, “Why?” Look ahead and ask, “Why not?” When it comes to your dreams and goals, be too positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated.

59. No matter how many times you break down, there should always be a little voice inside you that says, “NO, you’re not done yet! Get back up!” That’s the voice of passion and courage.

60. Approach the start of each day with one goal and end the day with one word: DONE!

dude is ridiculous

David Goggins sleeps three hours a night. He has a resting heart rate of 32 beats per minute. He wakes up at 3.a.m. and runs 15 to 20 miles. He commutes 25 miles to work by bicycle. He is the only person to complete Navy SEALS �Hell Week� three times. He is the only person to complete Tactical Air Control, SEAL and Army Ranger training. With no special training, David Goggins ran 100 miles in 18 hours. In finishing that race, in 2006, he suffered stress fractures in his feet and shins, urinated blood and lost control of his bowels. David Goggins completed 10 100-mile races in 2007. He finished third at the 2007 Badwater, a 135-mile trek through Death Valley known as �The World�s Toughest Footrace.� He once ran 203.5 miles in 48 hours.

I'll be honest says David, I don't like running. I don't like biking. I don't like swimming. I do it to raise money. But, now that I'm in this sport, I want to see how far I can push myself. What makes me tick is that pain you feel when you do these ultramarathons. I love knowing that everyone's suffering because I know I can suffer just a little bit more. I can take a lot of pain."

Read her wiki, girl had a rough life. Hope she manages to grab gold this time.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Lolo was favored to win the 100 meter hurdles. In the final, she was pulling away from the pack when she clipped the 9th hurdle (of 10) and stumbled, breaking stride to drop her back to a disappointing 7th-place finish. Teammate Dawn Harper surged through to win gold. Lolo Jones was seen pounding the ground close to tears, trying to comprehend what had happened. "You hit a hurdle about twice a year where it affects your race. It's just a shame that it happened on the biggest race of my life."[8] Jones was later seen crying to herself in a hallway, mouthing,"why, why, why?" The mistake has been compared numerous times to Gail Devers' famous fall in the same event at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. According to the SEC (Southeastern Conference; LSU is a member of the conference) documentary about her life (and her personal telling of the story during it), the "clipping" of the ninth hurdle at the 2008 Beijing Olympics was attributed to a spinal problem. The doctor who treated her tells the audience that the problem was so bad that he'd examine her feet and ask which toe of which foot he was touching and she told him that she couldn't feel anything. The doctor said that the problem was that, since she couldn't feel her feet, her brain wasn't able to process where they were, leading to the "clipping" in the medal race in Beijing. Also according to the documentary, the doctor operated on Jones to repair the problem and the operation was a success.

I found that he preaches apathy. I tired it for a while, then i was like fuk this ****, im gonna help people and take massive action in my life every day.

I don't think he preaches apathy. He did say that you can have goals and follow them just make sure enjoy the steps which actually means working hard and putting yourself into whatever you are doing and not letting THE GOAL occupy your mind too much.

It's like.. make a goal but focus on every single step.

Similar to what Will Smith said..you can't build a wall..you can't say I am going to build the biggest and baddest wall. You have to lay each brick as perfectly as you and soon you have a wall.

Wall = goal
each brick = now, present moment

Whatever your opinions of this man, he did what it took to make his dream a reality.

I suggest everyone read his biography.

[Skinnygeorge]

You were on your way home when you died.
It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.
And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”

“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”

“Yup,” I said.

“I… I died?”

“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?”

“More or less,” I said.

“Are you god?” You asked.

“Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.”

“My kids… my wife,” you said.

“What about them?”

“Will they be all right?”

“That’s what I like to see,” I said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good stuff right there.”

You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.

“Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.”

“Oh,” you said. “So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?”

“Neither,” I said. “You’ll be reincarnated.”

“Ah,” you said. “So the Hindus were right,”

“All religions are right in their own way,” I said. “Walk with me.”

You followed along as we strode through the void. “Where are we going?”

“Nowhere in particular,” I said. “It’s just nice to walk while we talk.”

“So what’s the point, then?” You asked. “When I get reborn, I’ll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won’t matter.”

“Not so!” I said. “You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don’t remember them right now.”

I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had.

“You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.”

“How many times have I been reincarnated, then?”

“Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives.” I said. “This time around, you’ll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.”

“Wait, what?” You stammered. “You’re sending me back in time?”

“Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.”

“Where you come from?” You said.

“Oh sure,” I explained “I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you’ll want to know what it’s like there, but honestly you wouldn’t understand.”

“Oh,” you said, a little let down. “But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.”

“Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don’t even know it’s happening.”

“So what’s the point of it all?”

“Seriously?” I asked. “Seriously? You’re asking me for the meaning of life? Isn’t that a little stereotypical?”

“Well it’s a reasonable question,” you persisted.

I looked you in the eye. “The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.”
“You mean mankind? You want us to mature?”

“No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.”

“Just me? What about everyone else?”

“There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.”

You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…”

“All you. Different incarnations of you.”

“Wait. I’m everyone!?”

“Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

“I’m every human being who ever lived?”

“Or who will ever live, yes.”

“I’m Abraham Lincoln?”

“And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added.

“I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled.

“And you’re the millions he killed.”

“I’m Jesus?”

“And you’re everyone who followed him.”

You fell silent.

“Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.”

You thought for a long time.

“Why?” You asked me. “Why do all this?”

“Because someday, you will become like me. Because that’s what you are. You’re one of my kind. You’re my child.”

“Whoa,” you said, incredulous. “You mean I’m a god?”

“No. Not yet. You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.”

“So the whole universe,” you said, “it’s just…”

“An egg.” I answered. “Now it’s time for you to move on to your next life.”

And I sent you on your way.
