Do you know that your start-of-day mood can significantly impact your whole-day mood and even your job performance (In fact, there is a particular scientific study on this topic)? If you are starting your day feeling happy, positive, and empowered, it is more likely that this mood stays that way throughout the day. But, if you are feeling lousy, negative, angry, unmotivated, or hopeless, guess what… this mood will often linger with you throughout the day.
With that being said, here are 10 powerful quotes to help you start the day the right way:
“It’s about waking up in the morning and saying: No matter what gets done and how much is done and how it’s done, I’m enough and I’m worthy of belonging and love and joy” – Brene Brown
No matter what happens today, you are still precious, you are worthy, you are loved, and you are still wonderful being you are. People make mistakes; in fact, mistakes allow us to grow in life. That’s the beautiful thing about life.
“Nothing can dim the light which shines from within” – Maya Angelou
We are blessed with unique gifts and talent; you don’t need to prove anything. You are shining as you are growing towards who you are becoming.
“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” – Maya Angelou
It is a great reminder to remember how our actions, words, and thoughts can ruin or bless someone else’s life. Always strive for the latter.
“It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently” – Anthony Robbins
As Anthony Robbins said, what we do consistently matters the most. If we are compounding a good habit, we are setting ourselves up for success in the future. However, if we are compounding a lousy practice instead, I’m pretty sure you already know what would happen. Don’t give up on the journey. Being consistent can be tedious, dull, and hard sometimes. Still, dealing with future regret and grievance is harder than being consistent now.
“Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still” – Chinese Proverbs
At least you are growing the right way even though it seems that you are moving slower than you expected, but you are walking, growing, and completely fine. Enjoy the ride.
“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too” – Paulo Coelho
A new bright day is a gift and opportunity to be better than yesterday. Don’t let fear and worries steal this gift from you. Let our grateful and joyful hearts and minds enlighten our day and lead us to good things, good fortune, and good people.
“The secret of getting ahead is getting started” – Mark Twain
Your to-do-list can only be powerful if you take action and start crossing them one by one.
“Don’t count the days. Make The Days count” – Muhammad Ali
As said earlier, a new day is a gift and opportunity to always be better than yesterday. Don’t waste this precious gift and opportunity. Make your days count. Surprise your boss and your coworkers. Don’t settle for partially finished work, be excellent.
“The future rewards those who press on. I don’t have time to feel sorry for myself. I don’t have time to complain. I’m going to press on” – Barack Obama
Most of us tend to lose focus just because something unexpectedly bad happens. We start to spiral down on the chaotic feeling of complaining. Finally, nothing gets done, upset boss and coworkers, and missed meetings. The only bad thing that can ruin our day is the one you allow to get inside your hearts and minds. Let us focus on what matters the most and keep pressing for the future reward. Don’t let negative things distract your mind and heart for too long, costing you your future, career, relationship, and reputation.
“Your journey begins with a choice to get up, step out and live fully” – Oprah Winfrey
Everyone is given and blessed with free will to decide and choose what is best for them. Choose wisely each time you wake up.
“The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment”– Anthony Robbins
Ready to live a different life? Let us be fearless of dreaming of being incredibly successful, inventing innovative or successful new products in the market, and giving speeches to thousands of people. Start working towards it and indeed, be one.
Have a wonderful day Friends 🙂
