We all have goals that we’re trying to
achieve — getting into better shape;
achieving financial freedom; traveling to a
dream destination; and so on. But motivation
can be lost, especially in the face of
challenges or difficult work. Remember that
your thoughts are powerful, and negative
thinking can prevent you from achieving your
goals. The flip side is that positive thoughts
can be just as powerful. If you feel
unmotivated, read on below to find the
words of wisdom that will inspire your heart
and motivate your mind.

1. I can do anything. You really can do
anything you set your mind to!

2. This is why I can. Give yourself reasons
why you can do something.

3. I deserve more. So, work for it.

4. It’s never too late. Age is only a number,
it’s never too late to get a fresh start.

5. There will always be challenges. No
matter what you do in life, there will always
be challenges — don’t let one set get the
better of you.

6. There’s no “perfect” time. This time is
right now!

7. There’s no perfect plan. Eery plan has
some definite flaws.

8. Everybody starts somewhere (and usually
from the bottom).

9. One step at a time. Don’t do everything at
once.

10. It can only get better. Your work hard at
first? It can only get easier.

11. Failure is temporary. Most successes
come only after several rounds of failure.

12. Mistakes are learning opportunities.
They are good lessons for everyone.

13. Today is all I can control. Forget about
past days. Today is what matters.

14. If it were easy, everyone would do it.
Create unique things!

15. “Someday” is today. Make that someday
right now.

16. Negative thoughts can’t stop me. These
are just thoughts – nothing more.

17. I’ve done harder things. Remember a
time when you succeeded against the odds.

18. Everything has to be earned. So, start to
work!

19. Action is a better regret than inaction.
Making the wrong decision is always
preferable to regretting never having done
anything at all.

20. I don’t need anyone’s permission. Be
free!

21. I’m in control of my own destiny. You
can decide what you want to become.

22. There is no pass or fail. You can’t
objectively “fail” at life unless you never try
anything.

23. Boring decisions get boring results.
Make a spectacular decision.

24. The risk is worth it. The potential
benefits are worth risks.

25. Discipline feels better than regret. Be
disciplined!

26. Many good ideas seem crazy or
impossible at first. Yours is no different.

27. Find support. Friends, family, colleagues,
members of community resources can
support you.

28. Experience is always valuable. You’ll
walk away with experience.

29. Every day counts. Always do steps
toward your end goal.

30. What I think matters more. Forget about
what others think!

31. There is no problem that can’t be
overcome. Everything can be solved or
worked around.

32. Everything can be improved. You can
always make improvements to your
approach.

33. I can learn whatever I need to know.
Free resources are plentiful.

34. Willpower is all in my head. You just
have to want it.

35. I know what I want. Visualize your goals.

36. I can’t win unless I try. Effort is the only
way to be successful.

37. I’m better than I was yesterday. You’re
more experienced than you’ve ever been
before.

38. Nothing great happens overnight. Be
patient!

39. Even small rewards can be great
motivators. Reward yourself!

40. There are always more chances. You
can always try again.

Thanks @op, for bringing this here. The sad reality is just that most nairalanders don't pay attention to educative posts as this.
