I have seen so many people in the past become so discouraged that they give up. It is really at that point that separate the winners from all others. When your back is against the wall and all you have left to do is fail, is the time for you to push forward.

I have found in the past that even family and friends can be discouraging in getting difficult things done also.

I hope that you find something in these quotes that will inspire you. Pictures are linked for you to be transported to another world.

"Thousands of successful people did not achieve success on their first try, but they were not discouraged. They picked themselves up and went back at it with an even stronger, single minded tenacity to achieve their goal."
Catherine Pulsifer, from Do Not Be Discouraged

"Edison failed 10, 000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times."
Napoleon Hill

"Do not be discouraged if your plans do not succeed the first time.
No one learns to walk by taking only one step."
Catherine Pulsifer

"Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged."
Thomas Edison

"Never, never, never quit!”
Winston Churchill

"Don't get discouraged, and think positive all the time. Don't get down on yourself if you lose out a couple of times. It's just a lot of hard work."
Larisa Oleynik

"A problem is a chance for you to do your best."
Duke Ellington

"It is also vitally important that when faced with setbacks in achieving a goal, you need to stay focused and not let the setbacks discourage you.
Byron and Catherine Pulsifer , from The Beaver And His Goals


"Every seed knows its time- all in good time."
Russian Proverb

Danny, it's too easy to find an excuse and give up. I love that Abraham Lincoln LOST so many elections, he didn't quit. Thanks for more inspiration!

Thanks Danny for sharing these great quotes. I read somewhere, Thomas Edison said he didn't fail 10,000 times before inventing the light bulb, he just found 10,000 ways not to make a light bulb. Talk about a positive attitude! I think we will find all of the world's great people had or have a positive attitude in life.

Great Post!

Many times people say, You are lucky...oh brother...I'm willing to fail more than other people is more like it! Gotta stay optimistic - nobody want to be around someone negative, so what's the point??? It doesn't help anything. Thanks for the quotes!!
