15. When You Want To Succeed As Bad As You Want To Breathe, Then You’ll Be Successful.

~Eric Thomas (Motivational Speaker)

If you’ve ever had the wind knocked out of you, then you know the feeling of suffocating… the feeling of wanting nothing more than your next breath.

Now:

If you focus on achieving your goalsas intensely as you do catching your next breath…

…then you’ll undoubtedly find success.

Need proof?

Eric Thomas was homeless in Detroit for years before he decided to go to college… and even then it took him 12 years to get an undergrad degree. But since he was hyper-focused on succeeding as a motivational speaker, he now influences millions of people worldwide.

Here’s the bottom line:

If you need success as much as you need air, you’ll work incredibly hard to get it.

16. You Can Never Cross The Ocean Unless You Have The Courage To Lose Sight Of The Shore.

~Christopher Columbus (Italian Explorer/Navigator In The 1400’S)

Check this out:

To travel from Europe to Asia in the 1400’s, ships sailed south around Africa on a long, slow, winding journey.

Columbus was determined to find a better route and courageously did something few men ever had:

Sail west into the unknown,uncharted Atlantic.

Now:

While he didn’t find a direct route to Asia, he did discover the New World, and earned a permanent place in the history books.

Here’s the takeaway from Columbus’ inspirational quote:

Fear of the unknown holds you back, while courage will lead you to more opportunities and more success.

17. There Is One Quality Which One Must Possess To Win, And That Is Definiteness Of Purpose, The Knowledge Of What One Wants, And A Burning Desire To Possess It.

~Napoleon Hill (Author, Think And Grow Rich)

Hill’s inspirational saying outlines three simple but vital steps to get what you want in life:

Step #1: Know exactly what you want.

Step #2: Believe wholeheartedly in your ability to get it.

Step #3: Stay hungry and don’t letanything stop you.

Now:

To me, step #3 is by far the most important… and here’s why:

Those who stay hungry for success don’t lose sight of their goals… because it’s this hunger that fuels you to work hard, to stay focused and to overcome any obstacle in your way.

So… follow the steps above, stay hungry and you’ll inevitably achieve your goals.

18. A Person Who Never Made A Mistake Never Tried Anything New.

~Albert Einstein (German Theoretical Physicist)

A small mistake may lead to a failure in something you’re trying to accomplish…

…but you should look at those mistakes as stepping stones. Without them, there is no way to grow or test your strength in difficult times.

Here’s the bottom line:
