Do you know that you can motivate yourself? Do you know that no one can motivate you? If you are waiting for someone to motivate you, you are going to wait forever. If you are waiting for someone to give you what you want, you will never get what you want.

The best way to get what you want is to know what you want. If you don’t know what you want, you can’t move yourself to get it. Don’t wait for someone to help you get what you want. You can get it yourself. You are stronger than you think. You are smarter than you think. Don’t bring yourself down. Don’t settle for less than you can get. If you do that, you are reducing your success.

You are the only person who can motivate you to get more done in your life. You have got to believe in yourself.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Our chief want in life is somebody who shall make us do what we can.” Yes, we need people to help us get what we want. But what if they are not there? What if no one is ready and willing to help us? What would you do? Are you going to be waiting for someone who is not at home? Don’t do that. If no one is there to help you, help yourself. If you push yourself, you can do more for yourself. If you do more than you have always done, you will get more than you have always attracted to yourself. The question is: Are you ready to do a little more than you have done before? If you are ready, you can do more for yourself.

There Is No Failure Except In No Longer Trying

To live your life really well is to expect failures. Because you can’t live your life without failing at something. You will. Failure is not about you; it is about growth. It is about life. It is about moving forward in life.

There is no defeat except from within…”- Elbert Green Hubbard

Failures are part of our lives. We can’t grow without them. When you fail at something you love, when you fail at something you don’t like, you must be careful how you interpret your failures. Don’t call yourself a failure. Don’t call yourself a loser. Because you are not. You are a winner. You are growing. The best way to approach your failures is to learn from them. Instead of calling yourself a loser, you can take action to change your situation. Use your power to move your life forward. Don’t let failure stop you from creating your life. Don’t doubt yourself. Believe that you have the power to do anything you set out to do. It is withing your power. You can achieve your dreams, if you believe in yourself.

There is no failure except in no longer trying.”– Elbert Green Hubbard

It is from your failures that you will learn more about your life. It is from your failures that you will learn more about how to succeed. It is from your failures that you will learn more about how to handle projects. You can learn a lot from your failures if you look at them differently. Failure is a learning time. It is a growing time. So, if you want to grow in your life, you must keep failing forward. In the words of Elbert Green Hubbard, “There is no failure except in no longer trying.” If you are going to do great things in your life, if you are going to succeed in your life, in your business, in your relationships, you must keep trying. You must never give up!
