Motivation & Inspiration

System to improve any situation

Keep a list of the "hardest problems" on hand for moments when inspiration may strike. Just pick that hardest one and work on it giving your 100% to it.

Tackle your hardest problems first.

Journaling your ideas and feelings extensively when you're motivated can help you better understand and harness that feeling. "I take notes about what I am feeling, what is motivating me and how this motivation is guiding me," " I can leverage these notes later to motivate me when I need them the most."

Journal your thoughts and feelings.

If you're feeling more motivated than usual, capitalize on that energy by working on the tedious things you don't like or have been putting off the longest. "This could be tasks like clearing my inbox or a bit of data entry," Balkhi adds. "A surge of energy will make even boring things feel manageable, and it's a great way to help my business by making progress on important tasks."

Work on tasks you've put off.

Motivation can be a powerful tool to propel you toward your goals. The best thing you can do in these moments is to set new small goals that will help you reach your bigger goal. "The first step is to identify what's holding you back from reaching your goal,"... "It could be fear, lack of time or even just laziness."

Set small goals.

"You can't lose 25 pounds in a single day, no matter your motivation," Powell explains. "The same is true in business, whether you're building a team or fundraising. Use motivation to create a list of tiny behaviors that move you toward your goal -- ones that you can do every day, regardless of how motivated you feel then."

Create a lasting habit.

During your bout of motivation, Daisy Jing, founder of<a href="https://www.banishacnescars.com/pages/about-banish">Banish </a>, recommends coming up with a lot of reminders that will help you boost your motivation next time you feel down and unproductive.  "Take photos and document what it feels like to be successful in whatever you accomplished by being motivated that day," says Jing. "The idea is to remind yourself why and how you have to stand on your feet again so you won't have to try so hard to feel productive again."

Remember what success feels like.

Motivation and energy don't always stick around for long, so it's good to know how to channel it for maximum productivity.

7 Quotes From "Ego Is The Enemy "By- Ryan Holiday 

"self-confidence becomes arrogance, assertiveness becomes obstinacy, and self-assurance becomes reckless abandon."

"Most successful people are people you've never heard of. They want it that way. It keeps them sober. It helps them do their jobs."

"A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts, so he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions."

The instant Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestseller “While the history books are filled with tales of obsessive visionary geniuses who remade the world in their image with sheer, almost irrational force, I’ve found that history is also made by individuals who fought their egos at every turn, who eschewed the spotlight, and who put their higher goals above their desire for recognition.” —from the prologue Many of us insist the main impediment to a full, successful life is the outside world. In fact, the most common enemy lies within: our ego. Early in our careers, it impedes learning and the cultivation of talent. With success, it can blind us to our faults and sow future problems. In failure, it magnifies each blow and makes recovery more difficult. At every stage, ego holds us back. Ego Is the Enemy draws on a vast array of stories and examples, from literature to philosophy to his­tory. We meet fascinating figures such as George Marshall, Jackie Robinson, Katharine Graham, Bill Belichick, and Eleanor Roosevelt, who all reached the highest levels of power and success by con­quering their own egos. Their strategies and tactics can be ours as well. In an era that glorifies social media, reality TV, and other forms of shameless self-promotion, the battle against ego must be fought on many fronts. Armed with the lessons in this book, as Holiday writes, “you will be less invested in the story you tell about your own specialness, and as a result, you will be liberated to accomplish the world-changing work you’ve set out to achieve.”

How to Survive

Libraries are as the shrines where all the relics of the ancient saints, full of true virtue, and that without delusion or imposture, are preserved and reposed. — BACON, _Advancement of Learning_.We visit at the shrine, drink in some measure of the inspiration, and cannot easily breathe in other air less pure, accustomed to immortal fruits. — HAZLITT’S _Plain Speaker_.

Bacon & Hazlitt

What a place to be in is an old library! It seems as though all the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labours to the Bodleian were reposing here as in some dormitory or middle state. I seem to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odour of their old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the first bloom of the sciential apples which grew around the happy orchard. — CHARLES LAMB, _Oxford in the Long Vacation_.

Charles Lamb

My neighbours think me often alone, and yet at such times I am in company with more than five hundred mutes, each of whom communicates his ideas to me by dumb signs quite as intelligibly as any person living can do by uttering of words; and with a motion of my hand I can bring them as near to me as I please; I handle them as I like; they never complain of ill-usage; and when dismissed from my presence, though ever so abruptly, take no offence. — STERNE, _Letters_.

Lawrence Sterne

In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends imprisoned by an enchanter in paper and leathern boxes, — EMERSON, _Books, Society, and Solitude_.Nothing is pleasanter than exploring in a library. — LANDOR,_Pericles and Aspasia_.

Emerson & Landor

I never come into a library (saith Heinsius) but I bolt the door to me, excluding lust, ambition, avarice, and all such vices whose nurse is idleness, the mother of ignorance and melancholy herself; and in the very lap of eternity, among so many divine souls, I take my seat with so lofty a spirit and sweet content that I pity all our great ones and rich men that know not their happiness. — BURTON, _Anatomy of Melancholy_.

Robert Burton

I do not know that I am happiest when alone; but this I am sure of, that I am never long even in the society of her I love without a yearning for the company of my lamp and my utterly confused and tumbled-over library. — BYRON, _Moore’s Life_.Montesquieu used to say that he had never known a pain or a distress which he could not soothe by half an hour of a good book. — JOHN MORLEY, _On Popular Culture_.There is no truer word than that of Solomon: ‘There is no end of making books’; the sight of a great library verifies it; there is no end — indeed, it were pity there should be. — BISHOP HALL.

Byron, Morley & Bishop Hall

You that are genuine Athenians, devour with a golden Epicurism the arts and sciences, the spirits and extractions of authors. — CULVERWELL, _Light of Nature_.He hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink; his intellect is not replenished; he is only an animal, only sensible in the duller parts. — SHAKESPEARE, _Love’s Labour’s Lost_.I have wondered at the patience of the antediluvians; their libraries were insufficiently furnished; how then could seven years of life be supportable? — COWPER, _Life and Letters by Southey_.

Culverwel, Shakespeare & Cowper

Unconfused Babel of all tongues! which e’er The mighty linguist Fame or Time the mighty traveller,That could speak or this could hear!Majestic monument and pyramid!Where still the shapes of parted souls abideEmbalmed in verse; exalted souls which nowEnjoy those arts they wooed so well below,Which now all wonders plainly seeThat have been, are, or are to beIn the mysterious Library,The beatific Bodley of the Deity!COWLEY, _Ode on the Bodleian_. Higgons, Thomas, Sir,

Sir Thomas Higgon

This to a structure led well known to fame,And called, ‘The Monument of Vanished Minds,’Where when they thought they saw in well-sought booksThe assembled souls of all that men thought wise,It bred such awful reverence in their looks,As if they saw the buried writers rise.Such heaps of written thought; gold of the dead,Which Time does still disperse but not devour,Made them presume all was from deluge freedWhich long-lived authors writ ere Noah’s shower.DAVENANT, _Gondibert_.

William Davenant

Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a progeny of life in them, to be as active as that soul whose progeny they are; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. — MILTON, _Areopagitica_.

John Milton

Nor is there any paternal fondness which seems to savour less of absolute instinct, and which may be so well reconciled to worldly wisdom, as this of authors for their books. These children may most truly be called the riches of their father, and many of them have with true filial piety fed their parent in his old age; so that not only the affection but the interest of the author may be highly injured by those slanderers whose poisonous breath brings his book to an untimely end. — FIELDING, _Tom Jones_.

Henry Fielding

We whom the world is pleased to honour with the title of modern authors should never have been able to compass our great design of everlasting remembrance and never-dying fame if our endeavours had not been so highly serviceable to the general good of mankind. — SWIFT, _Tale of a Tub_.A good library always makes me melancholy, where the best author is as much squeezed and as obscure as a porter at a coronation. — SWIFT.

Jonathan Swift

In my youth I never entered a great library but my predominant feeling was one of disturbance of mind — not much unlike that which drew tears from Xerxes on viewing his army, and reflecting that not one soul would remain alive. To me, with respect to books, the same effect would be brought about by my own death. Here, said I, are one hundred thousand books, the worst of them capable of giving me some instruction and pleasure; and before I can have had time to extract the honey from one-twentieth of this hive in all likelihood I shall be summoned away. — DE QUINCEY, _Letter to a young man_.

Thomas De Quincey

A man may be judged by his library. — BENTHAM. I ever look upon a library with the reverence of a temple. — EVELYN, _to Wotton_.‘Father, I should like to learn to make gold.’ ‘And what would’st thou do if thou could’st make it?’ ‘Why, I would build a great house and fill it with books.’ — SOUTHEY,_Doctor_.What would you have more? A wife? That is none of the indispensable requisites of life. Books? That is one of them, and I have more than I can use. — DAVID HUME, _Burton’s ‘Life_.’

Evelyn, Southey and Hume

Talk of the happiness of getting a great prize in the lottery! What is that to opening a box of books? The joy upon lifting up the cover must be something like that which we shall feel when Peter the porter opens the door upstairs, and says, ‘Please to walk in, Sir.’ — SOUTHEY, _Life_.I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading. — MACAULAY.Our books … do not our hearts hug them, and quiet themselves in them even more than in God? — BAXTER’S _Saint’s Rest_.

Southey, Macauly and Baxter

It is our duty to live among books. — NEWMAN, _Tracts for the Times, №2_.What lovely things books are! — BUCKLE, _Life by Huth_.(Query) Whether the collected wisdom of all ages and nations be not found in books? — BERKELEY, _Querist_.Read we must, be writers ever so indifferent. — SHAFTESBURY, _Characteristics_.It’s mighty hard to write nowadays without getting something or other worth listening to into your essay or your volume. The foolishest book is a kind of leaky boat on a sea of wisdom; some of the wisdom will get in anyhow. — O. W. HOLMES, _Poet at the Breakfast Table_.

Newman, Buckle, Berkeley, Shaftesbury and Holmes

I adopted the tolerating measure of the elder Pliny — ‘nullum esse librum tam malum ut non in aliqua parte prodesset.’ — GIBBON, _Autobiography_.A book’s a book, although there’s nothing in’t. — BYRON, _English Bards and Scotch Reviewers_. While you converse with lords and dukes,I have their betters here, my books;Fixed in an elbow chair at easeI choose companions as I please.I’d rather have one single shelfThan all my friends, except yourself.For, after all that can be said,Our best companions are the dead.SHERIDAN _to Swift_.

Gibbon, Byron and Sheridan

We often hear of people who will descend to any servility, submit to any insult for the sake of getting themselves or their children into what is euphemistically called good society. Did it ever occur to them that there is a select society of all the centuries to which they and theirs can beadmitted for the asking? — LOWELL, _Speech at Chelsea_.

Gretchen Lowell

On all sides are we not driven to the conclusion that of all things which men can do or make here below, by far the most momentous, wonderful, and worthy are the things we call books? For, indeed, is it not verily the highest act of man’s faculty that produces a book? It is the thought of man. The true thaumaturgic virtue by which man marks all things whatever. All that he does and brings to pass is the vesture of a book. — CARLYLE, _Hero Worship_.

Thomas Carlyle

Yet it is justThat here in memory of all books which layTheir sure foundations in the heart of man, …That I should here assert their rights, assertTheir honours, and should, once for all, pronounceTheir benediction, speak of them as powersFor ever to be hallowed; only lessFor what we are and what we may becomeThan Nature’s self, which is the breath of God,Or His pure word by miracle revealed.WORDSWORTH, _Prelude_.

William Wordsworth

Take me to some lofty room,Lighted from the western sky,Where no glare dispels the gloom,Till the golden eve is nigh;Where the works of searching thought,Chosen books, may still impartWhat the wise of old have taught,What has tried the meek of heart;Books in long dead tongues that stirredLoving hearts in other climes;Telling to my eyes, unheard,Glorious deeds of olden times:Books that purify the thought,Spirits of the learned dead,Teachers of the little taught,Comforters when friends are fled.BARNES, _Poems of Rural Life_.

William Barnes

A library is like a butcher’s shop; it contains plenty of meat, but it is all raw; no person living can find a meal in it till some good cook comes along and says, ‘Sir, I see by your looks that you are hungry; I know your taste; be patient for a moment and you shall be satisfied that you have an excellent appetite!’ — G. ELLIS, Lockhart’s ‘_Scott_.’A library is itself a cheap university. — H. SIDGWICK,_Political Economy_.O such a life as he resolved to live Once he had mastered all that books can give!BROWNING.

How to survive in a Library ...

Most people let their egos prevent them from getting started. They’re afraid to look foolish, so they rather stay in their comfort zone. If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid. You first need to be a beginner before you can become a master. Don’t let your ego prevent you from getting started. Your ego is afraid to look foolish, so it will convince you to start ‘tomorrow’ or ‘next week’.Drop your ego and get started.

1. Drop Your Ego

The Latin phrase memento mori literally translates to, “remember that you must die.”Since you don’t know how long you have to live, you should make the most of today. Don’t postpone your dreams. Don’t postpone kindness. Don’t postpone living life.Memento Mori. Remember, you must die. Don’t let this thought get you down, but let it inspire you like nothing else. Let it fuel you to take massive action, spread positivity, and live fully.

2. Momento Mori

You are responsible for the quality of your life, the results in your career, and the state of your health. Yes, external things do influence your life, career, and health. But ultimately, you are responsible. You are in control. You are in the driver’s seat of your life. This means you must hold yourself to higher standards if you want to upgrade your life.If you want to move forward in your life and career, you have to become strict with yourself. Be tolerant with others, but hold yourself to the highest standards.

3. Be Strict With Yourself 

Each time, you’ll learn something. Each time, you’ll develop strength, wisdom, and perspective. Each time, a little more of the competition falls away. Until all that is left is you: the best version of you. Nevertheless, we’ve been conditioned to avoid failure and see mistakes as a bad thing. This has turned most people into being risk-averse.A more productive way to look at failure is to see it as an essential part of growth. To see mistakes as the fastest way to get better, gain valuable experience, and set yourself up for future success.

4. See Failure As An Opportunity To Improve 

The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best self. Other people’s energy is contagious. This can make or break you, so you have to be mindful of who you surround yourself with.

Surround yourself with positive, inspiring, and ambitious people, and you’ll automatically become more positive, inspired, and ambitious.We become who we surround ourselves with.

5. Surround Yourself With Great People 

In pursuit of a better life or career, procrastination is the biggest obstacle to overcome. Procrastination is the one thing holding us back from being our best selves and living life to the fullest. But once you learn how to eliminate it from your life, you can quickly move from idea to execution and become unstoppable.


As Seneca said, “Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: it snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The whole future lies in uncertainty: live…

5 Stoic Habits To Eliminate Procrastination From Your Life

"It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things."

"I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Being willing is not enough; we must do."

"Learning never exhausts the mind."

"All sciences are vain and full of errors that are not born of experience, the mother of all knowledge."

"The acquisition of knowledge is always of use to the intellect, because it may thus drive out useless things and retain the good. For nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first known."

"Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind. So we must stretch ourselves to the very limits of human possibility. Anything less is a sin against both God and man."

"Human subtlety will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature because in her inventions nothing is lacking, and nothing is superfluous."

"Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience, it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this to proceed to investigate the reason."

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."

"The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects."

"Nature never breaks her own laws."

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."

"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in."

New York Times Bestseller Over 2.5 million copies sold For David Goggins, childhood was a nightmare - poverty, prejudice, and physical abuse colored his days and haunted his nights. But through self-discipline, mental toughness, and hard work, Goggins transformed himself from a depressed, overweight young man with no future into a U.S. Armed Forces icon and one of the world's top endurance athletes. The only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller, he went on to set records in numerous endurance events, inspiring Outside magazine to name him The Fittest (Real) Man in America.
