Trying to change the world isn’t always easy. As an
entrepreneur, there are days you’re going to think of giving up. But if you can
master the practice of keeping your mind thinking positive, your will is sure
to stay strong and will help continue to move you forward.
On those exceptionally tough days, I like to take note from
some of the most influential people in history. I figure they have to know a
thing or two about dedication! Here are some of my favorite quotes. I hope they
inspire you as much as they inspire me.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” –Mahatma Gandhi
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” –Lao Tzu
“Choose a job that you like and you will never have to work
a day in your life.” –Confucius
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting different results.” –Albert Einstein
“I’ve failed over and over again in my life and that is why
I succeed.” –Michael Jordan
“The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance.
Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love
to do, be the best at doing it.”

“Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your
gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you’re
generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that
sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.”
–Donald Trump
“Action is the foundational key to all success.” -Pablo Picasso
“In order to succeed, your desire for success should be
greater than your fear of failure.” –Bill Cosby

the way.” –John C. Maxwell
