The Power Of Motivational Quotes

There has been plenty of quotes that have motivated millions. Some lines are timeless and are read repeatedly, while some motivational quotes are not known to the majority but still hold close meaning to those who have heard it. A motivational quote has the power to do more than most people will ever understand until they have heard one that means something to them. Here, we will look at the power that a single inspirational quote can have.

Inspiration

All you need to do is look at the reaction a certain quote has had to see the power of just a single line. Martin Luther King Jr's 'I have a dream' speech was full of quotes that are reused today for motivation. Furthermore, quotes from Winston Churchill like "we are still the masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls," have inspired countless amounts of people onto do things that they thought they could not. The power behind these quotes and quotes like this has inspired people to perform in ways that they did not think were possible.

Rewrite the Mind

A quote can have the power to overwrite the thoughts of the mind even if it is only temporarily. This is why sports men and women often listen to motivational quotes before an event, or why companies buy motivational posters with quotes that mean something to the goals of their company. To rewrite your mind you need to teach yourself that what you believe is not the truth, and that the motivational quote you are using is right. This is quite possibly the quickest way to rewrite the beliefs of the mind.

The power that a motivational quote can have on the mind is often instant, but the real impact of the quote will take time to settle in the mind. Unfortunately, it takes a lot more time to overwrite a negative thought than it does for it to affect you. Therefore, constantly reminding yourself of the motivational quote is the only way for it to take effect over time.

Performance

From athletes to those who work a 'normal' office role, motivation plays a big role in how each day pans out. It is an undeniable fact that two equally skilled people with all the same characteristics in the same role will only be able to be divided by the level of motivation that they bring to the job. The right motivational quote can really help those who need inspiration, and the effects of these quotes have unquestionably inspired certain people onto great things.

Summary

The power that a single quote can have on an individual can be astonishing. In fact, the power of a quote can inspire those that hear them onto their own greatness. With this being said, the amount any one quote affects a person depends on the amount that they let it affect them. However, one thing is for sure, over time a certain powerful quote, reinforced with a motivational poster will affect the way a person acts for the better.
