Igniting Quotes

There comes that mysterious meeting in life, when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential.

Rusty Berkus

Success isn’t a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.

Arnold H. Glasow

To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act.

Ariatole France (1844-1924)

When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, (like healing a serious illness), all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. All dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far that you ever dreamed yourself to be.

Patanjali

Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to the end, requires some of the same courage which a soldier needs.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

No one keeps up his enthusiasm automatically. Enthusiasm must be nourished with new actions, new aspirations, new efforts, new vision. Compete with yourself; dive into the job of breaking your own record. It is one’s own fault if his enthusiasm is gone; he has failed to feed it.

Papyrus

We become that which we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not a single act but a habit.

Aristotle

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear.

Socrates

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they cant find them, make them.

George Bernard Shaw

If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find its easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve.

Anthony Robbins, Author

Your vision will become clear when you look into your heart.

Carl Jung

First say to yourself what you would be: and then do what you have to do.

Epictetus

I walked this way.
I walked that way.
And then I walked my way.

Chinese proverb

Find Your Purpose, Change Your Life
I will remember
To focus on what I want, and not what I don’t want
To breathe and remain as calm and centered as possible
To find strength within myself and trust in the divine power of love.
That there are forces beyond my control, and
My job is to add something positive to each moment.
I am a ray of light and a fountain of good humour,
Allowing my own special life purpose to be used for the common good.

Carol Adrienne

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 most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and
fabulous.
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people
Won't feel insecure about you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some of us: is is in everyone,
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
Giver other people permission to fo the same.

Marianne Williamson (As Quoted by Nelson Mandela)
