When You Feel Like Quitting Think About Why You Started: I think this is one quote that I can relate to quite strongly, especially whenever I think of all those goals which took quite an effort to come true. If we look back at all of those big things we have achieved so far in life, I am sure there is this one thought that would have crossed our minds – about quitting the whole process.
This is one of the most powerful quotes by Theodore Roosevelt. I love this because it talks about the power of mindset and creating a mental pathway for success. What we think about our lives is influenced by our confidence. If we think of limitations, our mind is engulfed by it.
“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard”. The talk is about the power of hard work, perseverance and grit through difficult circumstances. It conflicts with the question of when to give up. Although the traditional answer would say – never give up, we ought to learn and identify when something no longer makes sense to us. However, if you still feel passionate about something and that deserves a chance – hard work surely paves a way for the future.
Don’t let yesterday take up too much of today, meaning: This quote is all about regrets and moving forward in life. Although we’re aware of quotes that say live life without regrets, I believe regrets are valuable. Yesterday is a beautiful reality that keeps telling us something. It is feedback to use for our future and move ahead with life. Yes, we shouldn’t dwell in the past. By that, I mean don’t worry about what has happened – worry about how to move forward from it.
The only way to discover the limits of the possible meaning: I love these quotes that talk about what’s possible and impossible. You’ll meet a lot of realists in the world who’ll say that something you’re after is not possible. They may be right, but we have to remember that they’re limited by their own experiences. (Optimism vs realism)
