Cool, one-phrase motivational messages (11–20)
Unleash your passion!
Many people have felt that everyday life can be tough at times.
These words give us the energy to say, “I can do more!” When you face a problem, start by picturing your dreams and goals.
They can be small—that’s okay.
The courage to take the first step is the energy that helps you overcome challenges.
The strength to overcome lies only within yourself.
Think of failure and setbacks as part of growth, and act with passion without fear.
You have the power to carve out a new path for yourself.
Don’t set your own limits!
These are words I’d like to share with anyone feeling stuck at work or in their studies.
Many of us have, at times, put limits on ourselves and looked for reasons why we can’t do something.
In those moments, we may convince ourselves, “This just isn’t for me, so it’s impossible.” But if you keep challenging yourself without fearing failure, you might discover a new version of yourself and grow.
Whatever goal you’re aiming for, believe in yourself and take that first step.
Trust that your future is in your own hands, break through your limits, and move forward to what’s next.
Unleash the unseen power
A power that may have budded beyond all that effort—a strength still unseen.
If you were to draw it out, it would be at the very moment you want to seize victory, right? These are words that only someone who has watched that person work hard all along can truly say.
For someone who never skimps on daily effort and keeps getting back up no matter how many times they fall, surely some great power is being born.
Even if it’s not something mystical, why not offer these words so that the strength forged through effort becomes the power for them to unleash 120%, even 200% of what they’ve got?
Think only about winning.
If you see someone around you who’s lost or exhausted, please share these words with them.
And of course, give them to yourself when you’re feeling down, too.
When we’re lost, it’s easy to slip into negativity.
Maybe you’ve even thought, “What’s the point?” But all the effort you’ve put in will surely bear fruit.
Don’t think the time spent being unsure is a waste—believe in your potential and keep moving forward.
Don’t stop; even the smallest step ahead matters.
If you endure, you will surely become a strong person.Senichi Hoshino
These are the words of Senichi Hoshino, who excelled as a player for the Chunichi Dragons during his career and later made his mark as a manager for the Chunichi Dragons, the Hanshin Tigers, and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles.
During the Great East Japan Earthquake, he was the manager of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, the team from the disaster-stricken region, and his words are remembered for inspiring many people.
He conveys that no matter what difficulties you face, you should give your all in the present and confront them head-on—that strength lies along the path you advance by doing so.
Because these are the words of Hoshino, who rebuilt teams whose results had faltered, they carry real persuasive power; they are words that lift your spirits and make you want to keep pushing forward.
There is no piece that cannot move forward.Makoto Nakahara
Makoto Nakahara, a shogi professional who won five lifetime titles and defined an era in the shogi world.
His famous words, “There is no piece that cannot advance,” are a perspective unique to a shogi player.
No matter what kind of personality a piece has, it still moves forward; this reminds us that whether our pace is fast or slow, it’s fine to proceed in our own way.
It’s a quote that gives you a gentle push—one to recall when you find yourself comparing with others or when things aren’t going as you hoped and your spirit is about to break.

Enjoy with a smile!
These words carry the idea that it’s precisely in tough moments that, if you keep smiling and enjoy the process, you can overcome them.
Whether you’re up against adversity in a game or not getting the results you want during practice or study, you’re bound to face difficulties as you pursue your goals.
But even then, by tackling things with a smile and a sense of enjoyment instead of showing a pained expression, you’re sure to draw good results your way.
It’s a message I’d like to give to anyone who is facing hardship right now.
