Mary Kom is the five-time World Boxing champion. She was the only woman boxer to have won a medal for India. Nicknamed the Magnificent Mary, Mary Kom is the only woman boxer to have won all 7 first world championships. She came from humble beginnings to make her way to the top of a sport which was less popular. Her energy and drive amaze me as we talk about some of her popular quotes in the section below.

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.

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.

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! :)
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.
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..
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.
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!
