Ten Mantras and Quotes to Inspire You Daily
Mantras and quotes are amazing tools to help you increase positivity, provide motivation and a shot of wisdom just when you need it most. Here is a list of my top mantras and quotes that’ll inspire you daily.
“Everything is Figureoutable.” - Marie Forleo. Also the title of my girl Marie’s book, Everything is Figureoutable is a simple phrase that’ll train your brain to find answers and break down your goals/dreams into simple steps. Every time you don’t know how to do something, say these words.
“Do it Scared.” Your most important dreams and goals are scary. Why? Because they’re important to you. Start embracing scared, do it anyway, and it’ll get easier to push forward even with a little (or a lot of) fear.
“What will you do to feel the way you want to feel?” - Danielle LaPorte. This question is the basis for Danielle’s book, The Desire Map, which uses your core desired feelings as the guidance system for setting goals. I’ve also heard: Do the thing you need to do to feel the way you want to feel. This question helps you make decisions throughout the day like, work on a big important project or eat Oreos and watch Netflix. How will each choice make you feel?
“You are exactly where you’re supposed to be.” Your past has led to where you are now and the present moment will eventually lead to something amazing. Your job: Trust and be present in this moment.
“Just F**king Do It” - also known as JDFI. I need this tattooed on my wrist. LOL. There’s never a perfect time. Just do it. Learn from your mistakes, move forward and leave regret behind.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou. This one always gives me chills. It’s such an amazing reminder that your friends, family, kids, or strangers don’t care how much money you make or what you do for a living. You can affect someone’s life simply by the way you make them feel.
“Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” - Babe Ruth. There are no mistakes. Repeat. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES. Every time you do something, whether it’s a success or “failure,” you’ll gain experience, learn new things, and have the opportunity to make adjustments. I also love “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” - Confucius
“Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.” - Charles Swindoll. Attitude is everything. We don’t have control over most circumstances. Circumstances are facts. But you have tremendous control over your thoughts, which drive your emotions and your response. Start with your thoughts.
“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant.” - Robert Louis Stevenson. I love a checked off to-do list, but spend time each day looking at what you did and how it puts you one step closer to your goals. Recognize progress is progress.
“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living in our fears.” - Les Brown. Having finally worked up the courage to pursue my dream of helping women live their best life, I’ve come to the conclusion that fear is something you wear like a backpack. You’ll always have it on, but each time you do it scared your backpack gets a little lighter.
