Fantastic Motivational Quotes
There is no denying that history has bequeathed us many excellent examples of highly motivated individuals – and those individuals tended to have had a way with words, which is why some books and websites are able to fill their pages with motivational quotes, such as Henry Ford’s “A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.” Many business leaders and business “gurus” have said how useful such quotes from the great and good have been to them, and of course, they should know.
The general wisdom is that such quotes inspire the individual and spur on the team. They provide a basis for the ethos of a workplace and its business aims. They are particularly effective among individuals in the process of starting up their own business – in such cases, motivational quotes. However, this only occurs when motivational quotes are part of a wider motivational programme – there needs to be substance behind the quote, and employees soon notice if they are expected to magically improve their performance without any assistance, extra resources or the encouragement of management.
And of course, living as we do in a rather cynical, media-savvy age – in the age of The Office’s David Brent – the parroting of motivational slogans in a discourse peppered with “management-speak” will often turn people off, rather than inspiring them, especially if they suspect that the person or organisation issuing the quote, doesn’t really understand it themselves.
It is important to realise that there are two intended audiences for motivational quotes – individuals who are, or who wish to, run their own business or enterprise, and groups of individuals who are being targeted by their employer for motivation. The first audience are more likely to be receptive to motivational quotes – they are already committed to the business path, they are in the business of finding inspiration and actively want to be motivated. They are also likely to have sought out such quotes voluntarily. And this is an important point.
The situation for a group of employees can be very different. Often a workforce feels dragooned into a motivational programme, which engenders precisely the opposite effects to those intended. People tend to resent being forced to do things, and of course many employees are “only in it for the money,” and have no interest whatsoever in striving to be the best they can be. They may not share Voltaire’s belief that “work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need”! Whether these people would be happier in another job is another argument – but it cannot be denied that many employees fall under this category. When using motivational quotes with the aim of enthusing a workforce, employers must be prepared for the likelihood that many will remain completely unmoved.
But you won’t see any indication of this when searching for “motivational quotes” on the internet. There is a seemingly infinite supply of websites and books for sale all promising the definitive list. The moral of this seems clear – if you really want to get rich from motivational quotes, then publish a book of them!

Releasing Your Lack And Limitation
You should have, could have, and would have. But you didn’t. So why put yourself on the path of guilt and regret? How will that help you? Our biggest mistake is making them one. If we fail, let it be forward. If we miss a train, or are late for a flight, if we spent too much money, lost a job, or just broke up with our partner, why do immediately assume the worst? By doing so, we only empower our lack and limitation. And yet, the beautiful natural state of our wellbeing is always waiting for us to return and start trusting.
When we doubt an experience, and/or ourselves we are being given an opportunity to trust. There are endless examples in our world that life always finds a way to make the impossible, possible. Think about it, our planet earth is orbiting around a star, one of billions of stars in this Milky Way galaxy, which is one of billions of galaxies in the known universe. Living on this blue dot in the void of space is proof enough that we can always make anything possible.
Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” Possibility is only a perception. Impossible things become possible everyday. This is the root desire of consciousness, to expand into the infinite unknown, bringing light into the darkness. By knowing possibility you will illuminate your own infinite potential and release your lack and limitation.
Oh sure, easier said than done, I hear you thinking. Well, if you say so. Actually, the only reason why anything is difficult is because we believe it is. All of our power is in our perception, and therefore the simple act of just stopping for a moment to trust that the right place and right time is right now, your perception will shift, and so will your entire world.
Next time you find yourself doubting an experience, your past, a decision you made, an action you took, or a gut feeling that you are having…STOP. Just simply become aware that you are creating your own limitation, and all you have to do is trust that this moment right now holds all possibility, and will in fact, unfold perfectly in a way that is for your highest good, and for the good of all. All that is possible is in your hands now, trust it.

Tidak Bisa
“ One of the greatest discoveries a man make one of it’s surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do” (Henry Ford)
Apa sih hambatan terbesar kita untuk sukses dalam melakukan sesuatu??
“Aku Tidak Bisa”
Mungkin itu adalah kata yang paling cepat muncul di pikiran kita ketika hendak meraih impian kita. Belum apa-apa, kita sudah membayangkan betapa berat dan sulitnya mengerjakan hal tersebut. Yakin kita tidak bisa??
Bila kita melihat ke sekitar, kita akan menyadari berbagai hal-hal menakjubkan. Ternyata dunia ini penuh hal-hal luar biasa. Ada teknologi-teknologi canggih yang kelihatannya “tidak mungkin” oleh orang-orang generasi terdahulu. Ada orang-orang yang tadinya susah, sekarang sukses luar biasa. Dan mungkin kita sering mendengar orang-orang yang sakit berat, divonis dokter akan mati tidak lama lagi…..dan ajaibnya mereka bisa sembuh total, mengalahkan penyakit yang menggerogotinya. Apakah orang-orang itu bisa melakukan hal-hal luar biasa bila dari awal mereka sudah berpikir “tidak bisa” ?
Yakinkah kita tidak bisa melakukah hal-hal luar biasa seperti mereka?
Yakin? Alasannya?
Sudahkah saya mencoba melakukan hal tersebut?
Seringkali kita batal melakukan suatu hal besar karena merasa “saya tidak bisa” . Bahkan sebelum mencoba. Itu namanya menyerah sebelum bertanding. Bagaimana kita tahu kita bisa atau tidak, kalau belum mencoba?
Saya sudah mencoba, tapi koq belum berhasil?
Apa itu artinya saya benar-benar tidak bisa?
Mari ingat kembali contoh di atas. Apakah teknologi-teknologi canggih tersebut langsung jadi ketika penciptanya ingin menciptakannya? Tentu saja tidak. Melalui proses panjang, kegagalan demi kegagalan, penyempurnaan di sana-sini, barulah jadi teknologi canggih seperti itu. Demikian juga orang yang tadinya susah, setelah melalui sebuah proses perjuangan tanpa kenal putus asa, barulah dia menemukan solusi sukses nya. Demikian halnya dengan orang yang berhasil sembuh dari kanker, dsb.
Kesuksesan besar berasal dari akumulasi kesuksesan-kesuksesan kecil. Semuanya melalui serangkaian proses. Dan dalam proses, kita akan menemui sejumlah hambatan. Bila kita menyerah di tengah jalan dan langsung berteriak “Saya tidak bisa”……selesai sudah, semua jerih payah kita sia-sia.
Bila kita tidak mengalahkan perasaan “tidak bisa” , kita akan sulit menciptakan kemajuan. Saat kita berhasil menaklukkan perasaan “tidak bisa” tersebut, kita akan menjadi pribadi yang lebih berkembang. Bisa atau tidak bisa sebenarnya hanya permainan pikiran kita. Pikiran kita sendiri lah yang menciptakan batasan bisa/tidak bisa. Dan kita sangat bisa mendobrak batasan-batasan pikiran tersebut. Ketika kita yakin kita bisa, berani mencoba dan berjuang pantang menyerah, kesuksesan demi kesuksesan besar akan mengikuti kita. 
“You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face” (Elleanor Roosevelt)
