Want is not Enough

Posted on November 30, 2009

It’s time for the Monday motivational quote:

“Wanting something is not enough. You must hunger for it. Your motivation must be absolutely compelling in order to overcome the obstacles that will invariably come your way.”

– Les Brown

This can apply to all aspects of our lives, our health especially. How many times have we set goals and it gets too hard so we quit. The motivation has to be there and it can’t come from anywhere else but ourselves.

Have a great Monday and a great week.

Great point! WANTING something is easy; DOING something about it is a lot harder.

@Crabby - Yup, it’s always the “doing” that’s the tough part!

I discovered Les Brown years ago! I sent copies of his motivational talks to my family. I guess my favorite quote of his (from many favorites) is: “If you want to keep getting what you are getting, keep doing what you are doing!”
Thank you!!
