There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid

There would be nothing to frighten you if you refused to be afraid - Mahatma Gandhi. If you refused to be afraid: This is such a powerful quote by Mahatma Gandhi. It talks about the power of control we exert on our fears. When we are so scared, it feels like we have no choice and the immediate response is to hide. But the response to fear also is a choice - if we stand tall against this fear, there's a different response that our minds will create. It will bring up the other aspects of our personality such as resilience, fighting spirit, desire to move beyond fear etc. It doesn't suggest us to deny fear, but act on it with diligence and from a position of power.

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory - Mahatma Gandhi Quotes. Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment: Success and failure is all about the results - this is what most of us are taught to believe. I can see the logic in this because success comes with results and accolades that help us recognise a victory. This quote by Mahatma Gandhi talks about the effort involved in achieving success. Some of our successes can sometimes be fluke events. Although they give us the results, the satisfaction derived from them is small and in some cases disappointing. This quote brings the focus back to the effort involved and the satisfaction derived from this effort.

What you are thinking is what you are becoming quote from Muhammad Ali

What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming: We are never a finished product – instead, we’re in the constant process of becoming. These thoughts however are extremely powerful. If we ignore them, easily poisonous thoughts such as doubts, lies and disbelief will start pestering us. The best thing we can do is to be aware of these thoughts, what they are trying to tell us and think of the best ways to indulge in them.

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best- Muhammad Ali

by
To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you're not, pretend you are - Mohammad Ali. To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best: It all starts from a thread of belief. Unless we believe in ourselves, there's very little chance of success in life. And even if we succeed without belief, we won't be able to enjoy it because we end up attributing success to factors such as luck etc. Being a champion is a mindset. We all have unique abilities- let's call that our leverage. If we compare ourselves to anyone, there will be areas of strength and weaknesses. The beauty is when we can use these strengths or leverage to create a path of victory for ourselves.

I Know Where I am Going and I Know The Truth – Muhammad Ali

muhammad ali quote, quote of the day, inspirational quote, I know what I am doing quote

I know where I am going and I know the truth: Ultimately, this is all we care for – living life on our terms. Society, people around us or culture puts unreasonable expectations on us. Before knowing, we’re part of a bigger game where we try to fit in and get its approval. Take a moment to pause and think about this quote from Muhammad Ali. There’s no better success than living a life on your terms. It is far more fulfilling to do what we connect with and look back and find life as a beautiful experience – not as time wasted living up to someone else’s standards or expectations.
