10 Powerful Quotes to Boost You When You Need an Extra Push

Motivational and Inspiring Quotes

When you stumble upon a motivational quote that speaks to you, it’s amazing how your perspective can take on an entirely new direction. It was just past Christmas when I saw a quote that spoke to me. It was like a hammer smacking me over the head. I stopped what I was doing and reread it three or four times. It resonated on a level nothing else had recently.

A short phrase. I read scads of articles and books, but this small sentence held me in its vice grip. I sat still in my awe, then breathlessly read it to my husband. Nothing.

How can words that spoke so powerfully to me have made little more than a tiny splash in my husband’s world?

If I’d read that quote two or three years ago, it might not have stopped me in my tracks. I might have seen it, nodded, and thought nice one. Nothing more, nothing less.

And yet in the final week of December, I was mesmerized. I couldn’t stop thinking it. I needed that lesson in my life. It hit me like a ton of bricks, and an amazing calm washed over me.

When we find quotes that speak to us, we want to rush out and share them with our friends and family, but sometimes they don’t see the magic in what you saw. It doesn’t mean it’s not a powerful quote. It was there for your eyes or ears, waiting for you to find it.

Here are a few quotes are uplifting, powerful, and strong. I hope one of them speaks to you at just the right moment.
