I haven’t written an edition of inspirational quotes in awhile, so I figured what better time to do it then right before Thanksgiving. Understandably people celebrate this day different, or not at all, but being that many of the readers are from the United States, I assumed that many will be appreciating this day as well.

For every person who climbs the ladder of success, there are a dozen waiting for the elevator.

The interesting thing about this quote is that it relates to every aspect of life. Whether you notice people in their educational career, their athletic career, or their working career, there are many people who are looking for the easy way out.

Each of us has two ends; a sitting end and a thinking end. Success depends on which end we use.

Again, a very true quote. Personally, I have made some relatively bad choices and have paid for them. It is learning from these situations and making the most of the good choices that will lead to success.

All the flowers of tomorrow are in the seeds of today.

As I have said a number of times, success is not something that happens instantly. You need to work hard to achieve it, whether you are looking for financial freedom or happiness. Work hard now and you will reap the benefits in the future.

The surest way to go broke is to sit around and wait for a break.

Of course it is always nice to catch a break, but you need to work hard to achieve your goals. Waiting for something to happen is the key to failure. Be a playmaker, take the “game” into your own hands and make something happen.

People don’t fail, they give up.

Persevere. Whether you are learning about blogging, becoming a car mechanic, or running a business, do not quit. If you work through the difficult times you will be rewarded in the end. A perfect quote to re-illustrate this one is: When the going gets tough, the tough get going. If you find yourself on hard times, whether it be an overload of work or a shortage of funds, stay strong and do not give up. With that mentality it will be extremely hard for you to fail.

I wish everyone a safe, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving, and hope you enjoy the time off (if you are so fortunate to be able to have time off).

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
