People used to say that boxing is for me and not for women – Mary Kom Quotes

For a committed person, everything is an inspiration. Even denial proves to be a powerful motivator. I’d love to bring about the difference between motivation and inspiration. I believe the power of inspiration comes from love for the sport which I can fervently see in this quote. The motivation however is people saying no and almost teasing her to prove herself.

We have seen the results and the impeccable performances Mary Kom has given. The beauty is in her focus and dedication to making her dreams come true. I believe that’s something remarkable and special. For someone this focused, anything has the potential to become a motivator.

Mary Kom Quotes: If I, being a mother of two, can win a medal, so can you all. Take me as an example and don`t give up.

It’s not an easy task for a woman to maintain her personal and professional life and a few of us tend to lose the balance now and then but we still strive hard to balance it and give the best to the family. I am sure the working ladies will agree with me on this. When we see woman like Mary Kom, a mother of twins who can go out practicing every day, sweat out, work hard, give her everything to chase her passion then what’s stopping us?

Despite the loss today, I’m satisfied with the way I performed – Mary Kom Inspiration

Success and failure are common! I think we place too much importance on success and failure. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to ignore the process. I agree that results matter, but failure is a powerful thing. The journey is always continuous. Each time you fail, ask the question – could I have done anything better?

Mary Kom inspirational quotes

If the answer is yes, use that for the next time. Your journey doesn’t end. There’s always something exciting to do. If you’re too caught up in failure, then you have no time to succeed. Instead, use every experience to move forward.

Everyone is scared and asking me questions if I’m going to quit – Mary Kom Quotes

This is such a beautiful quote about success being viewed as a one-time thing. I’ll point you back to the beautiful quote by John Wooden – success is a journey. Mary Kom has certainly been an inspiration and at a certain point, her retirement will come too. But the inspiration doesn’t stop.

Everyone is scared and asking me questions if I am going to quit. I want to tell them that don’t worry, I’m not retiring and I will continue

Mary Kom

I think that’s what inspires me the most about this quote. There’s an eternal fighting spirit that keeps us focused and moving forward. Retirement may come on a certain day. But that’s not something to worry about. Maybe it is something to prepare for. But worry has a much different connotation than preparation. And most times, apart from that message, worry is useless.

Mary Kom Quotes: I do not only rely on my technique or strength but also on my mind.

We all know of boxing as a physical game which requires a lot of physical strength and technique. But it is very inspiring to hear a boxer say this. It is the will that takes you far and beyond. It’s the will to throw that one last punch when you feel that you are about to fall and that makes all the difference.

  3. Thank you Vinodinii. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the post :). I am highly inspired by the amount of challenges these people face and they keep going on. No matter what great sounding words we use – motivation, inspiration, perspiration, perseverance, they all seem so small in front of them!

  4. Thank you! Aah that;s a lovely statement. It was about time I guess, too many people have talked about the meaningless size zero and the endless diet routines..

  5. Thank you Kokila :).. It was really lovely doing the research about her. . So much we did not know and so much which is not talked about. A bounty of inspiration indeed :)

  6. True.. when you think about it, we all should imbibe these five points in us.. most of us try to but we never adhere to it.. hats off to her

  7. Thank you Athena :). I loved reading about her and knowing that she has gone through so many hardships to make it happen is truly commendable. Respect! :)

  8. Inspiring post ! …recently I had come across an article depicting fitness and the message therein was sort of this: ‘neither be fat nor thin… be Mary Kom !!’ …True.

  9. She’s definitely a woman of extraordinary resilience. You’re right, if a mother of twins can go ahead and achieve her unusual dream as per the cricket obsessed country that we live in…practically anyone can do what they wish to, with the power of their will.
    Highly inspirational post Vinay. Loved it.
