Inspirational Quote Of The Month – August & September 2018

By | September 15, 2018

I haven’t forgotten that I didn’t post an inspirational quote for August.  Therefore, to make up for that, I will post two quotes for this month.  Unfortunately, I was super busy in August.  But, I hope to post these quotes at least throughout the rest of the year.  We all know that we can use a little motivation from time to time.  Hopefully, you like these inspirational quotes, and get that extra bit of motivation you might need to get you through the rest of the month.

Inspirational Quotes – August & September 2018

Before I share with you the inspirational quote of the month, let’s review July’s quote.

My inspirational quote for July was, Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.” – Jim Rohn.

My inspirational quote for August would have been, Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll still get run over if you just sit there.” – Will Rodgers.  This is a quote to help us keep moving forward.  Sometimes it’s necessary to stop and take a break or a pause.  But, we don’t want to do that for too long otherwise we won’t reach our destination.

My inspirational quote for September is: Inspiration is a guest that does not willingly visit the lazy.” – Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.  This is an interesting quote, which I’ve never heard before.  I think it reinforces the importance of hard work and dedication in reaching our goals.  Sometimes, if we want to be inspired, we just have to work for it.  If that means finding a motivational speech to listen to or brainstorming ideas, then so be it.  But, inspiration would probably come quicker if we try than simply sit and wait for it to happen.

Inspirational Quotes from the DGI Community

These are the inspirational quotes from the DGI community in July.  As always, if you want your quote to appear in the section below, just leave me your quotes in the comment section before publication of the next edition of the inspirational quote of the month.

DivvyDad“You have to set goals that are almost out of reach. If you set a goal that is attainable without much work or thought, you are stuck with something below your true talent and potential.” – Steve Garvey.  This is true and reminds me of the inspirational quote for January 2018, which was from Michelangelo Buonarroti: “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”

Conclusion

Whether you’re having a busy month like me or feeling down, unmotivated, or otherwise just need a pick-me-upper, I hope these inspirational quotes will get you through the rest of the month.  It’s ok to rest a little, but hopefully, we can get up and keep moving forward in order to achieve our goals.

    I like both the August and September quotes, and I had never heard the one from Tchaikovsky either. As I think about it though, it definitely rings true as the times that I have found inspiration it has been when I was busy working on something–sitting around and waiting for inspiration to strike is going to leave you sitting for quite some time.

    Thanks for sharing my quote as well, much appreciated!

      Yup, that makes sense, and the quote is an apt way to put it. Glad you like them both.

    I like all of the above quotes. Like you, I hadn’t heard the Ilyich quote. But I really like it! A nice little fire under me tonight, which is exactly what I needed.
