You set targets and goals in the beginning of the year.  You think about what you want to do well and pen it down or visualize it.

A few of your targets may look like this:

• Achieving efficiency and better results at work
• Getting along with bosses and colleagues
• Building greater bonds with friends and family
• Achieving more happiness, success and building wealth

Now that June is around the corner, you know there is only six more months to the end of this year.  You pause and check your goals. You realize that you have either achieved a few, or none of them. You get frustrated and feel helpless. You need to talk to someone and not everyone has the time to be with you during your moments of need.

Just when you need a quick dose of inspiration and positive moments, someone (that is me) sends you a few motivational quotes, wishing to get you inspired and take some action for reaching your targets. 

These are few quotes that I hope you can resonate with for accepting challenges

• “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”  Winston Churchill

• “The number of times I succeed is in direct proportion to the number of times I can fail and keep on trying.” Tom Hopkins

•  “The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.” Brian Tracy

• “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not a act but a habit” Aristotle

•  “Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”  Dalai Lama XIV  

• “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.”  Theodore Roosevelt

• “Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny” Steven Covey

• “Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

•  “Stop thinking of what could go wrong and start thinking of what could go right” unknown

• “Accept responsibility for your own life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.”  Les Brown

Now it’s your turn to share your motivational quotes with others whom you want to inspire, give encouragement, set expectation, define accountability and make a connection with.
