Stay Positive: Encouraging Quotes and Messages to Fuel Your Life with Positive Energy by Jon Gordon

“We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.”

—Jon Gordon

The more positivity we develop on the inside, the stronger and more resilient we become in facing the world on the outside. Positivity is a muscle and we can develop it.

Today, shift your perspective and realize it’s not about having to do anything. Life is not an obligation. It’s a gift. Replace Have to with Get to. Focus on gratitude and you’ll find yourself feeling blessed instead of stressed.

//

You have a choice. You can complain about things you can’t control or YOU CAN CONTROL WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL and let go of what you can’t. You can focus on your problems or focus on getting better. You can look for an excuse or you can look within and find your best.

//

Failure is not meant to define you; it’s meant to refine you. Sometimes you have to lose a goal to find your destiny.

//

Do it for the cause.

Not the applause.

//

Don’t focus on winning championships, focus on DEVELOPING CHAMPIONS.

//

You are GREATER than your circumstances, more COURAGEOUS than your fears. The struggle is real but you are strong. Life is tough but you are tougher.

//

You know all those struggles you’ve been through, those times when everything seemed hopeless, when you didn’t know how to continue on. They made you stronger, wiser, and better. If you are struggling right now, this is preparing you for growth tomorrow.

//

Faith and fear have one thing in common besides the letter F. They both believe in a future that hasn’t happened, yet. Fear believes in a negative future. Faith believes in a positive future. If neither has happened, yet why wouldn’t we choose to believe in a positive future?

//

There was a man who traveled to a village to speak to a wise man. He said to the wise man, “I feel like there are two dogs inside me. One dog is positive, loving, kind, and optimistic and then I have this fearful, pessimistic, angry, and negative dog and they fight all the time. I don’t know who is going to win.” The wise man thinks for a moment and responds, “I know who is going to win. The one you feed the most. So feed the positive dog.”

Love All of It

Love the struggle because it makes you appreciate your accomplishments.

Love challenges because they make you stronger.

Love competition because it makes you better

Love negative people because they make you more positive.

Love those who have hurt you because they teach you forgiveness.

Love fear because it makes you courageous.

(From The Carpenter)

//

Navy SEALs say that when you’re under pressure you don’t RISE TO THE OCCASION, you sink to the level of your training.

TRAIN WELL!

//

 Michelangelo said, “If people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery, it wouldn’t seem so wonderful at all.” It’s hard to be great. But it’s well worth the effort.

//

Without struggle, there would be no triumph. Without setbacks, there would be no feeling of victory and accomplishment. It’s all part of the journey!

//

We live in a world where many focus on the fruit of the tree. They focus on the outcome and make decisions based on grabbing the fruit. But if you focus on the fruit and ignore the root, the tree dies. Don’t overlook the fundamentals. If you focus on the root, you’ll always have a great supply of fruit.

//

There’s nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.

//

The more you count your blessings, the less you’ll be stressing.

//

Mental toughness is knowing that your identity is not defined by your performance or outcome. You are loved no matter what.

//

You aren’t a true success unless you help others be successful.

//

Don’t worry about your GREATNESS in the future. Just be great TODAY!

//

Positive energy is like muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it gets. The stronger it gets, the more powerful you become. Repetition is the key, and the more you focus on positive energy, the more it becomes your natural state.

//

The key to success is to be a lifelong learner who continuously works hard to improve.

//

Don’t focus on the numbers. TRUST THE PROCESS. When you keep doing things the right way, eventually the numbers will rise, the wins will come, and the outcome will happen.

//

Think about all that you worry and stress about. Think about the people you’re angry at and the fights you’re engaged in. Now remember that one day you will die. It may sound morbid but it’s true. In the end how do you want to spend your time and energy? Love more. Fight less.

//

How you see the world determines the world you see.

//

Leaders inspire and teach their people to focus on solutions, not complaints.

//

“Rules without relationship leads to rebellion.”

Andy Stanley said this and it’s one of my favorite quotes. As a leader you can have all the rules you want, but if you don’t invest in your people and develop a relationship with them, they will rebel. This applies amazingly to children as well. It’s all about relationships.

//

Instead of being disappointed about where you are, be OPTIMISTIC about where you are GOING.

//

Your GREATEST CHALLENGES often serve as preparation to help you live and share your GREATEST PURPOSE.

//

Remember, even if someone’s life seems perfect from the outside, everyone is struggling with something on the inside. You’re not alone.

//

You have to be willing to do what most won’t do in order to do what most want to do.

//

Talk to yourself instead of listen to yourself

Dr. James Gills is the only person to complete six Double Ironman triathlons, and the last time he did it he was 59 years old.

When asked how he did it, he said, “I’ve learned to talk to myself instead of listen to myself. If I listen to myself, I hear all the doubts, fears, and complaints of why I can’t finish the race. If I talk to myself, I can feed myself with the words I need to keep moving forward.”

//

Your biggest fears are opportunities for your greatest growth.

//

Don’t get bitter. Get BETTER.

//

Find the lesson and MOVE ON.

//

Instead of listening to the negative lies, choose to feed yourself with the positive truth.

//

Just because you have a negative thought doesn’t mean you have to believe it. Don’t believe the lie.

//

“Every problem has a gift for you in its hands,” as Richard Bach says. You can choose to see the curse or the gift. And this one choice will determine if your life is a success story or one big soap opera.

//

Every person and every team will be tested on their journey. It is part of the curriculum of life. It’s just like riding a bicycle. In the beginning you’re going to fall off and get knocked down, but the important thing is to get back on, stay strong, and after a while you’ll master it and ride with the confidence of a champion.

//

Remember, you have only one ride through life so give it all you got and enjoy the ride.

//

When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it.

//

Stop scattering your energy and wasting time on trivial things that have nothing to do with your vision and goals and start saying yes to your PRIORITIES and to what truly matters. Each day we must make choices, and those CHOICES include saying “no” to people and opportunities so we can say “yes” to the work we are meant to do and the SUCCESS we are meant to create.

//

The world tries to define you by the mistakes of your past. But history defines you by how you responded, how you learned and improved, how you made amends, how you persevered, and what you accomplished afterward.

//

Your circumstances don’t define you. Your willingness does. Stop hiding behind the excuses and start stepping into your calling. I believe in you. Now you need to believe in yourself.

//

THE BEST WANT IT MORE. We all want to be great. But the best of the best are willing to do what it takes to be great. The best don’t just think about their desire for greatness; they act on it. They work hard and do the things that others won’t do, and they spend more time doing it.

//

You will always feel fear. Everyone will. But your trust must be bigger than your fear. The bigger your trust, the smaller your fear becomes.

//

Show Up.

Do the Work.

No matter what anyone says, just show up and do the work.

If they praise you, show up and do the work.

If they criticize you, show up and do the work.

If no one even notices you, just show up and do the work.

Just keep showing up, doing the work, and leading the way.

//

You won’t always be recognized for your effort. Do what you do and over time truth will shine through.

//

Don’t chase SUCCESS. Decide to get better every day, do great work, and success will find you.

//

Every struggle, every challenge, every failure is meant to help show us WHO WE ARE in this moment and how far we have to go to become all we are meant to be. We realize we are unfinished WORKS OF ART and our Creator who made us with love is not done with us yet.

//

Failure is not a definition. It’s just an event.

//

No matter how hard things get, or how hopeless things look, DON’T GIVE UP. Realize that we don’t create our world from the outside in. We CREATE and TRANSFORM it from the inside out.

//

Often the difference between success and failure is belief, and this is often instilled in us by someone who encourages us. Be an encourager today. Be someone who instills a positive belief in others.

//

Don’t get mad at the naysayers. Don’t hate the energy vampires. Instead, realize that without them you wouldn’t be as strong. If you never got sick, you wouldn’t develop a strong immune system. Negative people make you more resilient, wiser, and better.

//

Every day that you choose to work hard and not settle is a day that leads to the life you want.

//

No one ever regretted dedicating themselves to being their best! We regret what we didn’t do knowing we could have done more and become more. No regrets! Commit now. Do the work. You'll always feel good knowing you gave your all.

//

A thought's power only comes from the power you give it. You don’t have to give your negative thoughts power. You can ignore them. You can see them for what they truly are: lies, lies, lies. Just because you have a negative thought doesn’t mean you have to believe it.

//

Often the cost of pursuing your purpose is great. But the cost of not pursuing it is even greater.

//

Stepping into your destiny often means stepping away from security. Be bold. Have faith. Take action.

//

What you focus on in life determines whether you will experience peace in your heart. Today, focus on what you have, NOT what you don’t.

//

Be so invested in your craft that you don’t have time to listen to the naysayers. No time for negativity. Too busy creating your future!

//

Become the CEO of your life: the Chief Elimination Officer. Say no to good things so you can say YES to the great things.

//

If you don’t believe in miracles, remember that you live on a giant liquid rock traveling through space 60,000 mph around the sun. You can try to be logical but there’s nothing logical about our existence. Life is a miracle. You are a miracle.

//

Remember, if it was easy you wouldn’t be as strong!

//

No matter how hard we work and how much we improve, there will be times when we experience the worst of defeats instead of the greatest of victories. But ultimately life is about more than winning or losing. It’s about the lessons we learn, the character and strength we build, and the people we become along the way.

//

Research shows that when we count three blessings a day, we get a measurable boost in happiness that uplifts and energizes us. It’s also physiologically impossible to be stressed and thankful at the same time. Two thoughts cannot occupy our mind at the same time. If you are focusing on gratitude, you can’t be negative.

//

Expecting to win without hard work and preparation is arrogance. Expecting to win because you have prepared and worked hard is confidence.

//

If you have talent, the world is waiting for you to share it. Don’t let fear stop you. Don’t wait for someone to tell you that you are worthy. Stop telling people that you are waiting for someone to discover you. Just start sharing your gifts and use all the technologies available to create your own audience.

//

Great coaches, teachers, and mentors see potential rather than limitations. Look for the good in others today.

//

Rejection is often our greatest protection. Sometimes not getting what we want leads us to getting what WE NEED.

//

You will always feel fear. Everyone will. But your trust must be bigger than your fear. The bigger your trust, the smaller your fear becomes. And the more you trust, the more you become a conduit for miracles.

//

Without a deep and solid foundation, a skyscraper can not rise high to the sky. --Quote by Myself

//

When you face negative people, know that the key to life is to stay positive in the face of negativity, not in the absence of it.
