Here are the 21 Motivational Quotes to Help Rock Your Productivity:

1. Simon Sinek Quote

“Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress, working hard for something we love is passion.”

If you’re starting a large project, make sure you have a passion for it to carry you through all the hurdles ahead.

There are so many twists and turns that a new venture encounters. If you don’t love what you’re doing, then finding your way to the finish line might not happen.

2. Steve Jobs Quote

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work and the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

All the blogging experts encourage new bloggers to pick a niche blog to make the most money. I knew that Montana Happy would encompass all the things I love to write about.

It’s been four years since I started this blog and I still love it. There have been times where I wasn’t happy with the results and if I didn’t love what I was doing, I know I would have given up.

I decided to listen to my heart and not the experts, and I’m glad I did.

3. David Allen Quote

“Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.”

I resonate with this quote because it took me so long to bring my dreams out into the world. I would start projects and never finish them, and then I would start on another one.

Finally, I decided it was now, or never so I just stayed the course until at least one of my projects was out in the world.

I decided to go for my dream and put down a deposit to have someone design my blog. The designers kept me on task, making sure I got all the information they needed to create my blog.

When looking back at that time of my life, I just wonder why I didn’t get started before? The time to start is now.

4. Alan Kay Quote

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”

We can waste so much of our precious energy on worrying about the future and envisioning what is going to happen.

Use your time wisely instead by working on creating the future YOU want and not being a victim of things you can’t control.

5. Peter McWilliams Quote

“To the degree, we’re not living our dreams; our comfort zone has more control of us than we have over ourselves.”

Is the reason you’re not living to your full potential because you keep quietly retreating to that special place where you feel safe?

Safety is overrated. You will regret what you never had the courage to finish.

6. Bruce Lee Quote

“If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.”

There’s a reason that there’s a common phrase “analysis paralysis.” I was one of its victims until I made the decision that I wasn’t that person anymore.

7. Henry C. Link Quote

“While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.”

You just have to start. Now. You won’t learn as much from reading about doing something as you will be by actually doing it.

8. Zig Ziglar Quote

“Remember that failure is an event, not a person.”

Fail. Fail big. And keep at it.

Pretty soon, you’ll be able to pick yourself up and begin again quickly and not succeeding every time will be okay.

9. Thomas Watson Quote

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”

By now I’m guessing it’s sinking in that failing will get you closer to your goal faster. Take the plunge.

10. Stephen Covey Quote

“Don’t argue for other people’s weakness. Don’t argue for your own. When you make a mistake, admit it, correct it, and learn from it, immediately.”

Try not to repeat mistakes. Accepting errors as little guidance beacons that will lead you down the road to success will change your opinion of each mistake you make.

Imagine if you built your big dream, but you never experienced any obstacles. If mistakes happen at that stage, they have a bigger impact.

It is better to learn what not to do when your idea is in infancy.

11. John Rampton Quote

“You may think having a cluttered desk isn’t that big of a deal. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. Disorganization can stunt your professional growth and decrease your productivity.”

Cleaning your space signals to the universe that you’re ready for better things. Start now.

12. David Allen Quote

“Sometimes the biggest gain in productive energy will come from cleaning the cobwebs, dealing with old business and clearing the desks – cutting loose debris that’s impending forward motion.”

Not only should you clean up your space, but finishing up loose ends will help you stay focused on your new project and not getting distracted.

13. Pablo Picasso Quote

“Art is the elimination of the unnecessary.”

When you’re starting a new undertaking, you need to trim the activities and time wasters that will distract you from performing your best.

Look at how you spend your time and only keep those things that will help you become the person you were meant to be.

14. Jack Ma Quote

“If there are nine rabbits on the ground, if you catch one, just focus on one.”

Now is the time to FOCUS. I have the “shiny light syndrome, ” so this is a challenge to me. I give myself deadlines for each leg of the journey, and that helps.

15. Menachem Mendel Schneerson Quote

“When you waste a moment, you have killed it in a sense, squandering an irreplaceable opportunity. But when you use the moment properly, filling it with purpose and productivity, it lives on forever.”

Realize that you are a gift to the world and what you offer it matters. When you have a purpose larger than yourself, it will help propel you to greater heights.

16. David Allen Quote

“You don’t actually do a project: you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you call it ‘done.”‘

Don’t think about everything that needs to be done, think about your next step. If you just think about the next move in front of you, eventually you will get to the end.

17. Tim Ferriss Quote

“Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!”

The most important thing is to start. Start now.

Ok maybe you should finish this blog post. And then start.

18. Michale Jordan Quote

“Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.”

Now that you’ve committed to getting things done, you need to work on your venture every single day. On some days it could only be 10 minutes.

By making your project a daily part of your life, you are giving it the attention it deserves.

19. David Allen Quote

“Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they’ve started.”

I agree with this quote. You feel overwhelmed with all your ideas in your head and the guilt for not starting on them.

Once you start taking your ideas and putting them out in the world, there’s less swimming around in your mind.
