Henry Ford had said that we are always right when we think whether we can or we can not. Thus, our attitude becomes the mental filter and through it we experience the world. When this filter is made up of optimism we see great many opportunities spread before us, can concentrate on the solutions, look for the good in others, and always count our blessings but when the filter is made up of pessimism the opportunities seem vanishing one by one before our eyes and we find ourselves helpless, often dwell on problems only, always find fault in others, and focus on what is missing.
So, this attitude becomes ultimately our window to the world. When we are unable to understand what attitude we are carrying we must take counsel of the wise people of our world because selecting a good attitude among old motivational quotes is like inventing a new us.
Your fears are not about the depression of 1933, or about the Second World War, which many people think Roosevelt was referring to. Whatever your fears, it is inspirational to be reminded that fear, especially the formless fear of the unknown, is the true enemy of living a joyful and productive life. As another example, consider Helen Keller's words, "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." Helen Keller overcame being deaf and blind from the age of 19 months to become an author and social activist. In that context, the quote has an extra "wow" factor - that someone bearing those burdens could still speak of an ideal life as a daring adventure. Nonetheless, as an inspirational quote to guide your own life, Keller's words, independent of their context, are a powerful reminder to focus on the big picture - what you came here to do.
There is often disagreement over the source of an inspirational quote. For example, Martin Luther King Jr. may or may not have said, ""Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." Mark Twain quite likely did not say, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do." Does it make an inspirational quote less meaningful or less inspirational because the author is unknown? For me, the value of inspirational quotes is mostly in the words, and how I can apply them to my own life, rather than in historical context. I find the Faith quote and the Twenty Years quote to be two of the most inspiring and motivating quotes I have found - whoever their authors may have been.
Shakespeare was very thoughtful when he said that there is nothing like bad or good but our thinking can make it so. We must take our responsibility to clean grimes from our windows. We must accept the consequences when we don't clean the glass but look towards our life through that smeared glass only. Otherwise we must show courage and clean our window by taking out our squeeze. This will make our dreams alive again.
Many sites are of boring nature and it concentrates on amount of quotes rather than its worth. Top sites will deliver some old quotes of values. According to me, the principle of the site is that the quotes should be motivational. It should be forceful, profound and should produce vibration within you. It means that the words should be good one.The trouble in it is the websites that say that they have the best quotes are the sites who has least number of quality quotes. We have to read infinite quotes to choose the best 100 among them. Some sites will rejoice that they have about thousand's quotations available; do you wish to read every quote available? Definitely no, the way to get the best is to get the site that had taken some of the best quotation from lot of other sites and condensed them into a single site. It means get a quote site that contains good one.
It is obvious that it is not necessary for everyone to like the given quotes in the best site. Few sites are glad to offer smaller number of quote with the best one that is available. It is not possible for you to like each quote that you read. If you came through some 200 quotes and you feel among that 100 is good, then that website definitely has some valuable inspirational quotes in them. Valuable and quality quotes in small number are better than huge number of uninspiring quotes. So, when searching for quotes look into websites that have less number of quality and inspirational quotes.
One of the other problems with motivational quotes is that everyone has heard them nowadays. There was a time when most of this stuff was original, but due to the speed of how things progress on the internet, most of the really good quotes are vastly overplayed, and seriously overuse.I think part of the reason is that a motivational quote sort of says something indirectly, or by implication that is more powerful, because it is describing something that you cant really put into words, rather liker parables.
The power of a lot of stories, like quotes is in their meaning that goes beyond words, both in their literal meaning, but also in that that meaning touches us in away that is significant and often goes quite deep in our psyche. The reason people use motivational quotes so much, I think is because they have heard or read something that they find very significant and has affected them quite deeply in some way, and they want to share it, which is a very natural tendency. Problem is that you cannot share an experience in words or any other way really. Once you start trying to, you lose it and that is the problem with motivational quotes, they actually end up looking a bit cheap, which is quite the opposite effect of what you wanted in the first place.
So, this attitude becomes ultimately our window to the world. When we are unable to understand what attitude we are carrying we must take counsel of the wise people of our world because selecting a good attitude among old motivational quotes is like inventing a new us.
