Mindset Is Everything Quotes
Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it. – Charles Swindoll
One person gets a flat tyre and thinks he is the world’s unluckiest man and that the world clearly is out to get him.
The other person sees it simply for what it is, a flat tyre that needs to be repaired, there is no good or bad about it.
It is a neutral event and it is his reaction to it that makes it positive or negative.
In other words, our attitude determines how we see the world around us.
So if you want to change your world, then change your attitude, and change your mindset.
If you think in negative terms, you will get negative results. If you think in positive terms, you will get positive results. – Norman Vincent Peale

Quotes About Motivation
Motivation is a tricky thing.
Everyone is always waiting for inspiration, or they are waiting for the right moment, or to be motivated.
But in the end, you just have to get up and do the work whether you are really motivated or not.
We blame lack of motivation for so many things.
“If only I can find some motivation I would go for a run.”
Or “my job doesn’t motivate me”.
Well, you might not feel motivated to save money, but if you don’t, you’ll never be able to buy your own house, or go on that fancy holiday with your friends.
If you have a mindset that you must always be motivated before you take action, you will never achieve any of your dreams.
People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can’t find them, make them. – George Bernard Shaw
Don’t wait for someone to come along and give you just what you need to be a success.
Similarly, don’t wait for the right moment, or when you have saved enough money, or have the right skills or experience.
It is up to you to create your own world so that you can accomplish your dreams.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. – Dalai Lama XIV
Happiness is a choice.
And like all choices, require action from you.
It’s not something anyone can give you or do for you.
You can either experience the pain of discipline or the pain of regret. The choice is yours. – Unknown
Everything takes effort, time and energy.
In other words, you can’t just wait until you are motivated to do something.
More often than not trying to accomplish your dreams requires lots of boring and difficult tasks.
And they take time to complete.
But if you give up, you will just regret it later.
The hard days are what make you stronger. – Aly Raisman
Not everything is easy.
Life can be hard and painful.
But we grow the most from the darkest times of our lives.
Experiencing life, the good and the bad, is how we build a strong, resilient and powerful mind.

Growth Mindset Quotes

In the fixed mindset, everything is about the outcome. If you fail—or if you’re not the best—it’s all been wasted.

Maybe they haven’t found the cure for cancer, but the search was deeply meaningful. – Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success
In other words, in a fixed mindset, appearing perfect is the goal.
When you feel you are less than perfect, when the outcome does not appear perfect, you feel like a total failure.
In the growth mindset, you understand that the journey is more important because anything can be achieved when you simply keep learning from your mistakes, work hard and persevere.
Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. – Confucius
