Such wonderful quotes, Meghan. The one that resonated the most for me was … “Everything you’re ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” But, overall what impressed me the most was the combination of the quotes with their images. This makes the impact more meaningful to have a visual tie-in which anchors the meaning of the quote. Thanks for a great selection to keep us motivated.
Great collection of sayings. The bottom line of the ones on the top among the list actually is about “moving.” I believe in this. You won’t really go anywhere if you are passive.
Some nice quotes…I like the one: ‘You are not defined by your past, you are prepared by it.’ Happy holidays!
Such great quotes.. for sure Meghan… love that it is so important for us to be of value. Think about it… as business owners we need to continue to provide our consumers with value, stuff they need and THIS will allow us to be… a success. Truth.. without action, we just have empty goals. Improve the world.. starts right now, with you. Omg.. how this is so point on, right? lol Everything we want… is there.. we just need to overcome the fear to do it. Wow… love that too (FYI, your url is wrong on that image) Winners focus on winning and those same folks wake up and work.. not wait for it to be given to them or others set it up – enablers… and do it.. every day.. We’ve got that part down, huh? All super quotes… I just got carried away! lol
Fantastic quotes a lot of Motivation here I could use formy sight having tech issues. I appreciate this very much and wish you a happy holiday to you and yyour family.

These are wonderful and wise. Thanks for sharing, Meghan! Happy Holidays!
Great inspiration Meghan. Love the way you have “Save” in the corner so it can be pinned easily. I especially like “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.” Einstein
Loved this very motivational quotes Meghan! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration! Have shared a few just now 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration girlfriend! I am going to learn how to do those click to tweets too! 🙂
Always happy to inspire others, Teresa! There’s a free plugin from CoSchedule for the Click to Tweet functionality. I have it installed on this site, but I prefer the Social Warfare version (which I believe is paid). Social Warfare gives you more options, but CoSchedule’s plugin is still worthwhile. Hope that helps!
Hands down winner for me . . . “Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.” —Conor McGregor I get so tired of folks wanted to copy success instead of finding their own success. Great list!
Love all of these quotes and I saw a common theme in them too, Meghan! Success requires you to do something and take action. The air sign that I am, really loves “You already have wings, now go fly!” As someone who posts inspirational and motivational quotes a lot on social media, so many of these are ones I’ve also shared. It’s amazing how much motivation is available to us all and how we humans still find ways to stop ourselves. Sometimes before we even start. Thanks for the wonderful and inspiring post! Happy Holidays to you and yours.
What wonderful quotes to inspire us for 2017. Hard to pick a favourite but I particularly like: “I’d rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt nothing and succeed.” by Robert H. Schuller.
Oh, I just love all of these Meghan! Thank you. I love them so much I can’t pick out a fav, but this one was new to me, and had me pausing to think: “Winners focus on winning, losers focus on winners.” —Conor McGregor
Now that’s something I’ll be chewing on!
I love these quotes. Thanks for including the images. I will be sharing them on Pinterest. =) My favorite is “Everything you’ve ever wanted is on the other side of fear.” by George Addair. Fear seems to drive us a lot. Either we don’t do something because of fear or we do something because of fear.
Fantastic quotes! You’ve given me an idea to write a few motivational quotes on post cards and put them in my office. On my wall, close to my computer.
