Inspirational Quote of the Month – July 2018

By | July 14, 2018

So, we just completed 6 months of the year.  This is the time when many DGI bloggers are examining their mid-year goals to see how they are doing.  I think writing down your goals is important.  But so is making sure that you’re doing the things you need to do on a daily basis to make them happen.  It’s sometimes difficult to achieve our goals because life happens.  But sometimes, we use life circumstances as an excuse when in fact, it is our own willpower and discipline that were key to succeeding.  In case you’re having difficulty achieving your goals or if you just need that extra motivation to press on, this post is for you.  Hopefully, you’ll be inspired by this month’s quote.

Inspirational Quotes for July

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

My inspirational quote for June was, Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.” – Robert Louis Stevenson.

My inspirational quote for July is, Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments.” – Jim Rohn.  This is something that I definitely need to remember.  My recent spending spree which left me broke threatened one of my key goals on debt.  That is, I wanted to get out of student loan debt by October of this year.  Had I been more disciplined, I probably would have stayed on track.

Many people, myself included, have New Years Resolutions.  But, despite having lofty goals, we give up, in part because we are not disciplined.  In addition to discipline, it’s important to be consistent, while maintaining some degree of flexibility to handle uncertainties.  But undoubtedly, discipline is a key ingredient to achieving our goals.

Inspirational Quotes from the DGI Community

These are the inspirational quotes from the DGI community last month.  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 quotes of the month.

Wallet Hacks“No one gets lucky sitting on the couch.” – Wallet Hacks.  You read that right.  In leaving a comment, Jim stated this.  I don’t think he meant to use it as a quote, but I thought it was such a great saying that I decided to quote him.  You know, even with lottery winners, they still had to get up, go out and buy that ticket.  The best kind of luck is the one that you make happen.  Thanks for the reminder Jim.

Dividend Solutions“You just can’t beat the person who won’t give up.” – Babe Ruth. I think that’s so true.  Imagine all of us who would have succeeded in our resolutions had we not given up.  Giving up is easy.  Staying the course is harder, but well worth it.



Conclusion

We still have 6 more months to go to reach the finish line for our yearly goals.  As we take the time to assess our mid-year goals, let’s do what we can to stay the course.  Life will bring us many challenges along the way.  Sometimes, we will falter, and that’s ok.  But, through it all, remember that discipline is the bridge between your goals and your accomplishments.

    Great quote and one that rings very true; whenever I look back at goals that I accomplished versus goals that I have missed, it usually boils down to the discipline that I had to remain consistent in my actions. I’ve done well at reaching my financial goals, while my fitness goals tend to lack–which is an area I am focusing on now as well.

    One of the quotes that I shared on my goals page is from Steve Garvey, and is a reminder for me to set aggressive goals as it allows me to push myself farther than I may have otherwise imagined:

    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

      Thanks for the quote DivvyDad. Good luck with your fitness goals. That’s an area I struggle with as well. Hopefully, with enough discipline, we can both reach our goals.
