Dreams—there is nothing else that creates the future.Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo: Dreams—nothing else creates the future.

If you were asked, “Have you ever felt anxious about your own future?” wouldn’t many of you answer “Yes”? “I can’t picture what my future looks like,” “Will I really find happiness if I keep going like this?”—young people in particular may be carrying worries about what lies ahead.

In times like that, these words can light a fire in your heart.

They come from Victor Hugo, the French writer known for Les Misérables.

His definitive statement, “There is nothing like a dream to create the future,” is powerfully assertive, yet it hits home and makes you think, “I’ve just got to do it.” It makes you want to sketch out a dream and start running toward it, doesn’t it?

If you make effort a habit, you’ll be able to succeed without much hardship.Ryune-ya

Motivational words #shorts

It’s hard to keep putting in effort day after day, and there may be moments when your fluctuating emotions make you run away from it.

These are the words of Rionya, explaining what mindset helps us keep building effort.

We can’t sustain effort because we’re doing something that wasn’t part of who we were before; if we turn it into something like a habit or a reflex, we can keep at it without strain.

It’s important to endure and continue until it becomes a habit, and once it does, it makes you feel that success is within reach.

Not being satisfied is the best technique for improving your skills.Wayne Gretzky

Send it with a good voice: Moving Quotes Series 172 [Technique]

These are words from Wayne Gretzky, a star ice hockey player, addressed to people who are struggling because their skills aren’t improving as they’d like.

He conveys that to raise your skills, it’s essential not to be satisfied with the status quo; the very desire to make your current situation even better is what leads to improvement.

If you become satisfied, it becomes harder to grow your skills—you should approach things more hungrily.

His words seem to give us the courage to keep moving forward with strength, aiming for greater heights.

It’s never too late to become the person you wanted to be.George Eliot

It is never too late to be who you might have been. — George Eliot #Quote

Whether we’re getting closer to the person we once wanted to become is something many of us struggle with; I imagine many also suffer from the gap between ideals and reality.

Here are words from George Eliot that stir the courage to keep moving toward that ideal self.

They convey a powerful message: it’s never too late to aim for the person you want to be, and you can start running toward that ideal at any time.

How about taking a moment to reconsider what your ideal self is, and turning that reflection into the strength to move forward?

If you think you can, you can; if you think you can’t, you can’t. This is an unshakable, absolute law.Pablo Picasso

Vol.100 [Pablo Picasso (Artist)] #WordsThatMakeYouRealizeWhatMatters #PowerOfWords #Quotes

A situation where you don’t get the results you want is something everyone experiences, and some people may even give up at that point.

Here are Pablo Picasso’s words that express a way of thinking about what we can and cannot do, offering a spark to keep trying.

He says that when facing a challenge, nothing is more important than believing; the moment you think you can’t do it, it becomes impossible—so you should keep holding on to the belief that you can.

These words convey that your state of mind and where you direct your feelings can become a powerful force that leads to results.
