I have chosen three motivational quotes that inspire me to dedicate my knowledge and skills towards my life goals. I am motivated to always work hard in completing any tasks at hand so that I can achieve success in life.

“It’s going to be hard, but hard does not mean impossible.”

– Lydia Sweatt

The incredibly influential values that are imparted by this quote considerably resonate with my ideology because I also believe that if a person puts in the time to work hard at any task they need to complete, then they will definitely be able to reach their goals and achieve success in life. I believe that nothing is impossible in life because we are all human and even though different people are born with different abilities, everyone has the power to shape their mindset and work towards achieving extraordinary things in their life. All that matters is how hard we are willing to work and to what extent we want to achieve our goals. The reason behind many people’s failure may be due to the lack of hard work that they put in to achieve that success. This awe-inspiring quote encourages me to strive to work hard in fulfilling my duty in life and to try my best to achieve success. An example of how I am applying this hard work can be seen with the sheer dedication that I possess to achieve high grades in my core subjects so that I can be accepted into my desired program in university. This will undeniably be a difficult task for me to undertake, but it is not impossible as long as I continue to work hard. Another goal in my life that I am also striving to achieve is to dedicate my knowledge and skills to benefit the whole world through aiding in the advancements of technology, as represented in the image below.

“Keep going. Everything you need will come to you at the perfect time.”

– Bhola Das

The principles that are embodied by this quote highlights a fundamental idea that all humans should strive to understand in order to have better success in living a stress-free life. This imperative, albeit simple, idea conveys the meaning of enjoying life to all humans. As long as individuals continue to apply the hard work necessary to achieve their goals, they will not need to worry about achieving success because success itself will come to them. Everyone should just strive to maintain a work-life balance and live life to the fullest so that no one has any regrets when they are going to inevitably pass away. I also strive to uphold the values that are epitomized by this quote because even though I believe that I work hard, I also understand that too much work can cause stress to occur more frequently which can lead to mental and physical deterioration. Examples of how I de-stress after working for long hours is by indulging in the many hobbies that I am deeply interested in. One such hobby is playing online video games which is a great way to interact with new individuals while having an enjoyable time. I believe that if I continue to maintain my studying habits while taking short, but pleasant breaks in between, then I will surely be led on the path of success.

“The only person you should strive to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.”

– Matty Mullins

The beliefs that are expressed by this quote highlights the fundamental idea of being carefree of the success of others and to just focus on improving oneself. Essentially, only each specific individual knows the most about themselves and what their own strengths and weaknesses are, so it is quite pointless to compare oneself to others or being dissatisfied because of other people’s negative comments. The harasser may just possess insecurities in their own life and are only indulging in negative behaviour to soothe their own shortcomings. As long as each and every individual just strives to be a better version of themselves from the earlier times and stays on the path of morality, then they can also achieve success through their hard work and dedication. I also strive to uphold the ideals that are present in this quote because I am indifferent to what others think of me, as I know myself the best. Additionally, I do not compare myself to anyone else regardless of what the circumstances are because each of us has our own strengths and can contribute to the world in different ways. For example, some people possess a more logical mindset and can potentially become valuable engineers while other people occupy a more creative mindset and can express that creativity for the benefit of society. An example of how I strive to be a better version of myself is by setting daily goals which include skills that I can improve on. For me, these include improving my self-confidence and public speaking skills mainly, as I wholeheartedly understand that these valuable abilities are an integral asset for my success.

Altogether, if I continue to embrace the ideas that are present in all three of these motivational quotes, then I believe that I will definitely be able to achieve success in my life.
