It’s no secret that I like quotes. I am one of those guys who can get really motivated by the right words. There have been a lot of brilliant minds who have said some pretty inspiring words that still help me when I read them. So I decided to gather up the 10 best motivation quotes. If any of them resonate with you, I encourage you to write them down and tape them to your fridge or computer screen. It’s pretty cool how a little handwritten quote can speak to you when you need it. After all:

4. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be?. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the talent that is within us.” –Marianne Williamson, Author

11. “I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. You are in charge of our response of what happens to you.” –Charles Swindoll, Author

12. “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, gift, or skill. It will make or break a company or a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will support for that day. We cannot change our past, but we can create our future that we want”. – John Maxwell, Author
