30 Inspirational Quotes For All Seasons Of Life

“When you’re going through hell keep going.” – Winston Churchill

I love this quote because it’s a reminder that if we quit because we’re going through hell, we stay in hell.

Which might be the hell of regret, the hell of failure, the hell of not having given our best.

This inspires me to keep going and it’s a reminder that tough goals will have their dark days and we should be ready for them.

1. “Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” – Francis of Assisi

You don’t break a world record on the first day. Most things start small but with persistence and consistency, we can achieve great things. So don’t worry about starting small, it’s all part of the process of achieving greatness.

2. “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” -Vince Lombardi

If you want to hit a goal, set a stretch goal and go for that, and if you make it outstanding, if you miss, you still might hit your original goal. Whereas if you just aim for your goal,
even if you only miss it by 1% you’ve still failed, and we can always have mishaps along the way. So aim bigger than the goal and you may end up surprising yourself.

Opportunities are everywhere, even where we are right now. We just have to open our eyes and look.

8. “What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?” -Robert H. Schuller
