As a writer, motivational quotes and passages from texts I read are something I collect with deep passion and intention. While these motivational quotes all live deep in my psyche, journals and in the work I do with my clients as a mindset coach, each of these is so gorgeous I felt they needed greater attention.
I don’t know about you, but when I’m having a moment of imposter syndrome, feeling overwhelmed, or just generally stuck in low vibes, reading inspirational words and motivational quotes from spiritual leaders, writers and teachers I study from and admire is one of the most feel-good activities for me. Maybe you’re like this too.
That’s why this post is jam-packed with motivational quotes I’ve gathered over the years that I think will speak deep to your soul. These quotes come from mindset books and films, and I’ve shared the source for each beside the quote so you can dive in deeper. Share your favourite motivational quote with me in the comments, if you feel so inspired…
