The Great Inspirational Quotes Collection Revamped
I think of inspiration simply as “breathe life into.”
Whether you're shipping code, designing the next big thing, or simply making things happen, inspirational quotes can help keep you going.
In the spirit of helping people find their Eye of the Tiger or get their mojo on, I’ve put together a hand-crafted collection of the ultimate inspirational quotes:
The Inspirational Quotes Collection
If you’ve seen my collection of inspirational quotes before, it’s completely revamped. It should be much easier to browse all of the inspirational quotes now so you can see some old familiar quotes that you may have heard of long ago, as well as many inspirational quotes, you have never heard of before.
Dive in, explore the collection of inspirational quotes, and see if you can find at least three inspirational quotes that breathe new life into your moment, your day, your work, or anything you do.
The Power of Inspirational Quotes
Inspirational quotes can help us move mountains. The right inspirational words and ideas can help us boldly go where we have not gone before, as well as conquer our fears and soar to new heights.
Or, the right inspirational quote can simply help us roar a little louder inside, when we need it most.
Life isn’t always a bowl of cherries. And work can be an incredible challenge. And sometimes, even our best laid plans, go up in flames.
So having a repertoire of inspirational quotes and inspiring mantras at your mental fingertips can help you roll with the punches and keep going.
One of the most important inspirational ideas I learned early on goes like this:
Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
It helped me turn trials into triumphs, and eventually learn to take on big challenges as a way to grow.
Another inspirational idea that really helped me find my way forward is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and, it goes like this:
“Do not follow where the path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.”
Whenever I went on a new journey, down an unfamiliar path, it helped remind me that I don’t always need a trail, and that many times, it’s about blazing my own trail.
The power of inspirational quotes is their power to light a fire inside and fan the flames until we go and blaze our trail that leaves our self, and others, in awe.
What Lies Within Us
Perhaps, the greatest inspirational quote of all time is another amazing quote by Emerson:
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
It’s an awe-inspiring reminder to not only do what makes us come alive, but to realize our potential and unleash what we are capable of.
It’s Better to Burn Out, then Fade Away
So many inspirational quotes remind us that life is short and that we have to go for it. But maybe George Bernard Shaw said it best:
“I want to be all used up when I die.”
One quote that I think about often is by Seth Godin:
“Life is like skiing. Just like skiing, the goal is not to get to the bottom of the hill. It’s to have a bunch of good runs before the sun sets.”
It’s all about making the journey worth it.
When It’s Over
What do you do when it’s over. It all depends. Dr. Seuss has an interesting twist:
“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.”
But the one that I find has true wisdom is from Dave Weinbaum:
“The secret to a rich life is to have more beginnings than endings.”
Here’s to new many more beginnings in your life.
Enjoy and be sure to explore The Inspirational Quotes Collection to soar or roar in your own personal way.
