Famous success quotes can inspire and motivate us when we’re not feeling very strong.  One of my favorites is from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  Dr King said “Faith is taking the first step, even when you don’t see the whole staircase.”  That quote reminds me not to focus on everything being right in order to take action. In this article I will share with you several other quotes that I live by.

Quotations on success are one of the easiest ways to stay focused.  Collecting quotes from great men and women offers you an in demand method of refocusing and getting back on track.  The positive messages of others can offer the right adjustment at just the right time.  During very challenging times, I remember a quote by Les Brown.  Les said “When life knocks you down, always try to land on your back.  Because if you can look up, you can get up.”  

Although there are many websites that specialize in quotations, in this article I want to share with you the quotes that are near and dear to my heart.  Quotes like this one from Earl Nightingale.  Earl said : “All of us are self made-, but only the successful will admit it.”  I’ve always wanted to be a positive self made man, and this quote has helped me to never give up on myself.

Success quotes can at times mean the difference between a life filled with joy, happy and contribution verses a life of disappointment, struggle and hopelessness.  The great words of successful men and women need to deeply engrained in your heart. 

Do a Google search of those individuals whom you greatly respect and admire.  What do they have to say about love, fear, friendship, taking risk, planning, contribution or their key to success. 

Here are some of my favorite experts and what they had to say.

These are but a few of the quotes I have internalized and made them into my own.  That really is the key to power.  You simply take the best tips and ideas from your mentors and you live those until they become apart of you.

I invite you to start your own quotations on success list.  There are no rules.  When you read a book or article, if the author says something profound, write it down and find a way to implement that thought into your daily life.
