Hand-Picked Positive Quotes About Life

Here are some of my favourite hand-picked inspirational and positive quotes about life.


I picked this quote first because you can’t begin your journey until you commit to it.

Success Quotes

“Your true success in life begins when you make the commitment to become excellent at what you do.” Brian Tracy

After you commit, you make the time! No excuses. So, if you don’t have enough time, you wake up an hour early and make it.

Early Riser Quote

“Life is getting up an hour early to live an hour more.” Unknown

This is a great inspirational quote to remember on those days when you don’t feel very motivated. You’re not gonna crush it every day, but you have to keep going. Just a little each day. A small step forward, is still a step in the right direction!

Don't Stop Chasing Dreams Quote

“It does not matter how slowly you go as long you don’t stop.“Confucius

I relate to this one so much and truly believe it. For some people, success and life comes so easy but those who struggle and have really worked their asses off for it- the reward is so much more appreciated and valued. Comment down below if you agree! I’d love to know I’m not the only one who’s struggled and hit rock bottom before taking over:)

Quote about overcoming hardships

“Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.” C.S. Lewis

And this is why people don’t pursue passion. They get stuck in their ‘comfort zone’ at their dead-end job. Working for their boss, who definitely did not get where they were by being comfortable. The road to success is often awkward at times! It’s still awkward for me. It’s also doubt and difficulty. Definitely not comfortable. Am I right?

quote about comfort zone

“Great things never came from comfort zones.” Neil Strauss

Don’t expect others to create your success. It’s not gonna happen!

inspiration quotes

“Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.” Les Brown

This is so so true. You have to try and believe. The movie The Secret got people thinking that if they just think positive thoughts, it’ll happen. I believe in the power of positive thoughts but that’s only the beginning. You have to create a plan to achieve your goals and then work your butt off to make it happen. Plan, progress, create, achieve!

Quotes about chasing your dreams

“The only thing that stands between you and your dream, is the will to try and the belief that is actually possible.” Joel Brown

When you work hard, you make great progress. It’s simple. And positive words and quotes about life can really motivate you in the right direction!

motivational quotes

“When you give everything you’ve got, you get everything you deserve.” Apoorve Dubey

This is a simple inspirational quote, but powerful. To all those who doubted you, and put those thoughts of doubt in your head. To anyone who thought you couldn’t do it. Prove them wrong.

quotes about sucess

“The best revenge is massive success.” Frank Sinatra

Who doesn’t want to be successful? Success doesn’t necessarily mean money. Success is when you’ve achieved happiness!

“Well done is better than well said.” Benjamin Franklin

It takes action to get things done, not just plans!

I hope you enjoyed these positive quotes about life. I hope they inspire you to chase your dreams. Sometimes it just takes the right words to give you the push you need.
