Motivational Quotes, Inspirational Quotes, Quote of the Day
- Quote: Self-love, my liege, is not so vile a sin As self-neglecting.
Keywords: self-care self-esteem
- Quote: Each of us is born with two contradictory sets of instructions: a conservative tendency, made up of instincts for self-preservation, self-aggrandizement, and saving energy, and an expansive tendency made up of instincts for exploring, for enjoying novelty and risk--the curiosity that leads to creativity belongs to this set. However, whereas the first tendency requires little encouragement or support from outside to motivate behavior, the second can wilt if not cultivated. If too few opportunities for curiosity are available, if too many obstacles are put in the way of risk and exploration, the motivation to engage in creative behavior is easily extinguished.
Keywords: safety risk exploration creativity energy novelty opportunities behavior
- Quote: Becoming generous, carrying someone else for a while, does amazing things for your self-esteem. Selfishness--even in the name of an injustice--lowers your self-respect and creates shame.
Keywords: generosity giving self-esteem, selfishness, self-respect, shame

Some Ways To Improve Your Life
1. Make a definite plan for success. Fix a time limit to this plan. Determine the benefits of your goal.
2. Hold on to a positive attitude. See the best in any situation. Positive thinking heals your body and vitalizes your mind. A negative outlook is self-destructive.
3. Give your employer your best service. Even if you're underpaid, you'll create a twofold bonus. First, you will increase your level of skill, and this can translate to a higher income later on. Second, you'll win sufficient goodwill to attract the favor of your boss or a competitor. The more you give, the more you receive.
4. Continue to learn more about your job. Knowledge is power, and power creates increased income.
5. Work on being calm and even-tempered. An angry or bitter person is hard to get along. Along with your positive mental attitude come positive emotions. This enhances both your relationships and your health.
6. Share your goals with others. It is easier to achieve something when you're working on it with someone else. If your goal is too individualistic to share with others, at least get some moral support, some people to cheer you on your way.
7. Put your faith in a higher power. Such faith removes many fears, like fear of poverty, criticism, ill health, loss of liberty, old age, and death.
8. Avoid bad habits, especially those offensive to other people. For example, criticizing others, gossiping, slandering. Also, avoid taking in toxic material, like alcohol and cigarettes. Why would you want to ruin your liver and lungs?
9. Plan your work and complete each day's work. Include in your plan, ways to work more efficiently. Don't leave for tomorrow what can be done today. Tomorrow will have its own demands. Progress means moving forward.
10. Enjoy your work. If you don't feel enthused, it's time for a change.
