I hope this hasn't been posted here before:

"Pure hell forces action, but anything less can be endured with enough clever rationalization." Tim Ferris

Point being, don't fall into the trap of rationalizing your situation to the point where you are no longer motivated to take action and improve it. Get up and get moving.

Heres my collection of inspirational quotes I gathered over the last couple of years.

Enjoy!

Just saw this on Seth Godin's blog:

Bat boy syndrome
Here's a common fantasy: Your team wins the pennant. It goes on to the World Series. It wins! And you're there for it, all along, the bat boy, helping out the sluggers, doing your job, proximity to greatness.
The line to get a job at Disney and Google and Pixar is long indeed. Countless people eager to get picked to join a winning team. Not as the person who is going to have to step up and cause success, no, the opportunity sought is to be on the team, to bask without being asked for heroics (which of course, carry risk).
The industrial culture, the resume-building mindset—it's no wonder so many have bat boy syndrome. The alternative, the alternative of picking yourself, is frightening because we've been hoodwinked and brainwashed into believing that it's not up to us. But it is.

Another quote I liked:

"Chill. Never Freeze" - on a Mayonnaise jar label

Winston Churchill
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

Difficulties mastered are opportunities won.

However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.

Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.

You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

Are all of these winston churchill? They are some of the best, most meaningful quotes for me that I have ever come across.

Today, it is four years ago one of my favorite skiers died. May he rest in peace.

The year before he died, he sustained a dramatic brain injury,
and literally relearned EVERYTHING to become an even better skier than he was before. His motivation is insane.

He says something very powerful at the end of this clip, which I wanted to share with you:

I have to. I have to, because that's what I want with my life,
and what I want with my life I am willing to work for,
and what I am willing to work for, I am definitely going to achieve.

If you have five minutes, watch the whole thing:

RIP
