Motivational Success Quotes From Some Very Influential People

 
These are just some of the many success quotes that I’ve come across that truly have inspired me.  I hope they will inspire you to live a successful life as well.

“The most successful companies in the world know that valued employees are their most precious resource. Valuable employees pass their value on to customers.” Denis Waitley

“The more success you have, the more opportunities there will be for distractions…If you are under pressure today, if the critical voices are coming against you, know that it’s because you are making a difference.” Joel Osteen

“Your success depends on how well you think. You are not paid to collect, sort, store or retrieve information, although you do these things every day. You are paid to interpret that information and create and implement new ideas.” Denis Waitley

“The only way to ever attain success and enjoy it is to achieve it honestly with pride in what you’ve done.” Jim Rohn

“Well, I believe there are actually some things that are more valuable than capital that can lead to your entrepreneurial success. Let me give you the list.… Time… Desperation… Determination… Ambition… Faith… Ingenuity… Heart and Soul… Personality…” Jim Rohn

“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day; while failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day.” Jim Rohn

“Success is 1 percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration…A thought has zero value without execution behind it. You’ve got to start putting the pieces together. It’s the middle of the sandwich that makes the sandwich what it’s worth. The bread is the ideas, the concepts, how it looks from the outside. The inner workings differentiate true winners.” Mehmet Oz

“What is the one thing you could do today that when completed would make you feel that you had a successful day? Ok, stop doing anything else, and do that one thing. Celebrate at the end of the day. Do this every day for one year and you will have 365 successful days. How would your life be different if you had 365 successful days in the next year?” Sean Mize

“All you have to do is act now! Start with the smallest discipline that corresponds to your own philosophy. Make the commitment: ‘I will discipline myself to achieve my goals so that in the years ahead I can celebrate my successes.’” Jim Rohn

“Success is goals and all else is commentary. This is the great discovery throughout all of human his­tory. Your life only begins to become a great life when you clearly identify what it is that you want, make a plan to achieve it and then work on that plan every single day.” Brian Tracy

“In every study of successful people, the acceptance of personal responsibility seems to be the starting point. Before that, nothing happens. After you accept complete responsibility, your whole life begins to change.” Brian Tracy

“Once you start meeting the goals that you set, your life will change dramatically. More time, more success, life gets better for you and your family.” Brian Tracy

“What I know for sure is that if you want to have success, you can't make success your goal… When you shift your focus from success to service, your work as a teacher, clerk, doctor, or dot-comer will instantly have more meaning.” Oprah Winfrey

“God can dream a bigger dream for you than you could ever dream for yourself. Success comes when you surrender to that dream—and let it lead you to the next best place.” Oprah Winfrey

"Success doesn't come to you . . . you go to it."












American Educator


1936 -














Many people desire success — dream about success, but few are willing to put in the work necessary to be successful.  We hear in the news about people being overnight successes only to find out they had been creating in the shadows for years.  Overnight success is a rarity.  Most people spend years honing their craft before they achieve success.  





If you are waiting at the bus stop for success to pick you up and take you on the trip of your life, forget it.  It is not going to happen.  Get off the bench and start walking.  Soon you will be running and eventually you will be driving your own car.  Success comes to him who works hard and long.

Zig Ziglar


"In your hands you hold the seeds of failure or the potential for greatness.... The choice is yours."












American Speaker / Author


1926 - 











Life is about the choices we make.  And in our hands are the seeds of our failure as well as the seeds of our success.  Which seeds have you chosen to plant today?  Have you chosen to do the things that will bring out your greatness and help you reach your potential?  Or have you chosen to follow a path that leads to destruction.  Do you read books that bring you insights and wisdom?  Do you associate with friends who encourage you?  Do you feed your mind as well as your body?  Do you love yourself and give thanks for what you have been given?  Whom have you helped?  What lives have you touched?  Do you give more to others than you get?  The choices we make today will create the lives we live tomorrow.





Here is Zig with the story of how your attitude makes all the difference.  The choice is yours.

Pablo Picasso


"Success is dangerous.  One begins to copy oneself, and to copy oneself is more dangerous than to copy others.  It leads to sterility."

















— Pablo Picasso


Spanish Artist


1881 - 1973








When a creative leader becomes successful, it is easy to fall into the success trap.  Your audience wants you to sing the same songs, paint the same pictures or write the same stories.  And you may be afraid they won't appreciate the new you and your new work.  So you don't try to ideas.  Or you try something new and your audience rejects you.  You need to be constantly reinventing yourself and your art.  Picasso was know for reinventing himself.  He never stayed with one art form or one artistic technique.  He was always seeking the new.  He did not let success define him.  He defined success.

Thomas Edison


"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up."












American Inventor


1847 - 1931














Since we don't know the future, we often give up on our goals before we should.  Sometimes the closer we come to achieving our goals, the more discouraged we become.  To us the night appears to be darkest before the dawn.  So the key is not to give up on your dreams.  Hold fast to your dreams.  





Thomas Edison held over a thousand U.S. Patents in his lifetime.  He invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, a stock ticker, a vote recorder and the light bulb.  In 1914 the phonograph factory of Thomas Edison burnt to the ground.  Over night he lost more than 3 million dollars.  The next day when Edison was walking through this burnt out factory, his son came over to console him.  Thomas Edison turned to his son and said:  "There is great value in disaster.  It burns up all our mistakes.  Thank God we can start anew."  Within three months, he went out and build a new factory, redesigned the phonograph and gave the world a brand new phonograph.

Harley King




"May you wait patiently for your success with the belief and confidence that it will come."














— Harley King


American Speaker/Poet


1949 -














Many of us are impatient.  We can't wait.  We are in a hurry.  Yet success has its own timetable.  You can't hurry it.  So develop patience and have faith that when the time is right you will receive your moment in the sun.  Enjoy the moment.  Enjoy the present.  Don't worry about tomorrow.





Here are three of my short poems written in 2011.








What color


are your dreams,





my friend?


Bright blue?





Midnight red?


A thin pink?





I gather my fears in my hands.





###





I've grown old


with doubt,





a finger of time


between clouds





of darkness.


I open my mouth





and swallow the wind.





###





I am


the moon,





a faded light,


a distant dream.





Hold me


in your arms





that I may be free.

Ann Patchett







"In my 20s I worked as a waitress and wrote on my off-hours.  I remember asking myself, 'If you never get published or have any success, if you have to spend the rest of your life being a waitress, is this still what you want to do?'  And I thought, 'Absolutely.'  Making art is my happiness." 












American Novelist


1963 -











If you knew that you would never be famous or rich, would you still write?  Would you still paint?  Or would you quit and go into some other line of work?  And if you honestly can answer that you would keep on writing or painting, then you are on the right path.  Keep doing what you are doing?





Does your creative work make you happy?  Do you enjoy the time you spend writing or painting?  Would you do it whether you were paid or not?  And if you can honestly answer yes to these questions, then keep doing it.
