Words have power and when you read inspirational quotes, your mind starts to shift and think positively. You notice that you start to feel motivated inside. It’s as if someone just injected you with adrenaline! That’s why it’s always a great idea to begin your day with an inspirational quote. I wish motivation was constant so once I had it, it would never go away but that’s not the reality. Some days, it’s very natural to wake up and feel super motivated or excited to do what I want but other days that feeling is simply missing.
So you have to remember to self-create motivation within you! I find that if you take a minute to read at least one inspirational quote first thing in the morning even while sipping on your tea/coffee, you will find this boost of energy inside that will last you throughout the day, if not longer. Like Oliver Wendell Holmes once said, “a moment’s insight is sometimes worth a life’s experience!” … so true.
Here are some of the best 25 inspirational quotes to motivate you every day! They will make you think and inspire you to create the life of your dreams. Enjoy!
