Inspirational sayings can help increase your motivation to reach your objective.
One of the hardest things to achieve in self-motivation is to do what you know has to be done, even if you don’t feel like doing it.
You also need to focus on the final goal, and not be diverted from getting to it. As one of the better known inspirational sayings puts it: ‘It’s hard to remember that the only task was to drain the swamp, when you’re up to your ass in alligators!’
We, at Life Daily, want to ensure that you always ‘keep your eye on the ball‘ and don’t give up – ever!
Of course, words alone will do nothing, unless followed by actions.
Thomas Edison – one of the greatest examples of the frequently repeated adage; ‘If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again’ – recognized this.
The September 1932 edition of Harpers Monthly Magazine reported that, 30 years previously, Edison had coined the phrase: ‘Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.’
Well, we’re not looking to make you sweat, not yet anyway. For now, you can relax, take it easy, and just browse through our selection of inspirational sayings.
