6 Quotes to Remember on the Journey to Your Dreams

We all have goals and dreams that we hope to accomplish, unfortunately, not everyone manages to do so.

The road to our goal and dreams is often fraught with doubts and fears, full of obstacles and challenges and can be tedious and demanding at times causing some of us to throw in the towel altogether and give up on them.

The only people who manage to succeed are those who persist and remain committed to their goals and dreams despite the circumstances that surround them and what others have to say.


 

6 Quotes to Remember on Your Journey

The following quotes will help encourage you on your journey and help you realize that your dreams are precious and that as long as you do your part in bringing them pass, it really doesn’t matter what those around you think or say.

 

1. “The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats” – Babe Ruth

The people who try to dissuade you from pursuing your dreams, downplay your abilities the most or tell you that you don’t have what it takes to bring them to pass are often those who aren’t doing much with their lives.

Misery definitely loves company!

Most people often feel threatened when those around them seek to grow or do more with their lives because it forces them to examine their own lives or exposes their insecurities and fears.

So rather than risk seeming inadequate, they find enjoyment in bringing others down because it allows them to feel better about their lives and who they are.

 

2. “You can’t, they can’t” – Yvonne Kariba

People will try to project their fears, insecurities and limiting beliefs on you if you aren’t careful or allow them to. Most people are afraid to follow their dreams, resist change with everything they’ve got and prefer to keep things as they are because they don’t like leaving their comfort zones or are afraid to fail or make mistakes.

People will often try to discourage you from attempting to do the very things they have failed at or didn’t have the courage to pursue because they are afraid that it will reflect negatively on them if you succeed.

Or it will force them to give up their excuses, finally face their own fears and accept responsibility for the reason why things didn’t work out for them.

When people tell you, you can’t do something it’s usually because your goal or dream stirs up an insecurity within them that makes them questions their own ability to get things done or makes them feel inadequate in one way or another.

 

3. “You don’t have to see the entire staircase, just take the first step” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Anything worth having always seems daunting at the onset and some goals appear lofty and out of one’s reach. It is easy to get discouraged and demoralized when we realize all that we are up against and what is required of us to fulfill some of our goals and dreams.

Taking one step at a time and a single action each day towards your dream will not only get you one step closer to its fulfillment but also allow you to tackle challenges with ease when you break down your goals into manageable bits rather than focusing on everything that is required all at once.

 

4. “The starting point of all achievement is desire” – Napoleon Hill

If you want to achieve anything; you have to want it with all your being.  Desire will drive you like nothing else can, propel you towards taking the necessary actions required to achieving your dreams and keep you motivated and focused on your goals.

Desire lights up a fire within you that keeps you going when it seems wiser to get up, allows you to remain persistent and consistent and constantly reminds you why you are doing whatever it is you are doing.

 

5. “If you don’t chase after your dreams someone will pay you to build theirs” – Tony Gaskins

We were all born to do big and great things and inwardly desire that our lives have meaning and purpose.

However, somewhere along the way, most of us have allowed ourselves to stop dreaming, given in to our fears and chosen instead to settle for less because we are more comfortable with familiarity.

Rather than with dealing with the unknown that comes with venturing into uncharted territories as far as pursuing our dreams is concerned.

It’s definitely much easier maintaining the status quo and helping others build and realize their dreams rather than chasing after our own because building other people’s dreams doesn’t really require us to deeply invest ourselves, make great sacrifices, or step out of our comfort zones.

As terrifying as it is to jump off the cliff without any guarantee that our parachute will work; we have to be willing to take a chance on our dreams no matter how uncertain we might feel and how much our dreams will require from us.

Your calling in life is just as important as anyone else’s and will never be realized as long as you are comfortable living in someone else’s glory.

 

6. “It is never too late to be what you might have been” – George Eliot

Let go of the past, thoughts of all the things you failed to do and the wrong decisions you made. Each new day presents an opportunity to do things differently and in some instances start things anew or on a clean slate.

Let today be the day that you re-commit to your goals and dreams and finally start giving them the focus and attention that they deserve. It is never too late to re-create your life, make changes, follow your dreams or do all the things you thought you couldn’t do because of your own limiting beliefs.

 

Summary

Consider any step you take today towards your goals and dreams as progress and allow that to motivate you to keep moving in the right direction; you will definitely be glad tomorrow that you started today.

27 Jocko Willink Quotes from Extreme Ownership

Published

on

Jocko Willink is an American podcaster, author and retired United States Navy SEAL, who received the Silver Star and Bronze Star for his actions in the Iraq War.

He also co-authored the book ‘Extreme Ownership’, which is essentially a manual that teaches people how become incredible and strong leaders.

This is a strong collection of Jocko Willink quotes on leadership:

 

27 Jocko Willink Quotes on Leadership

1. “A leader must lead, but also be ready to follow. They must be aggressive, but not overbearing. A leader must be calm, but not robotic. They must be confident, but never cocky. A leader must be brave, but not foolhardy. They must have a competitive spirit, but be a gracious loser.” – Jocko Willink

2. “A leader must be attentitive to details, but not obssessed with them. They must be strong, but have endurance. A leader must be humble, but not passive. They must be close to subordinates, but not too close. A leader must exercise ‘extreme ownership’, but employ ‘decentralized command’. They must have nothing to prove, but everything to prove.” – Jocko Willink

3. “In chaotic, dynamic, and rapidly changing environments, leaders at all levels must be empowered to make decisions. Decentralized Command is a key component to victory.” – Jocko Willink

4. “Overconfidence was risky in such a hostile environment, a mistake most often made by warriors who had never truly been tested.” – Jocko Willink

5. “The Seal Teams and the U.S. military, much like militaries throughout history, are based around building blocks of four-to-six man teams with a leader.” – Jocko Willink

6. “When setting expectations, no matter what has been said or written, if substandard performance is accepted and no one is held accountable — if there are no consequences — that poor performance becomes the new standard. Therefore, leaders must enforce standards.” – Jocko Willink

 

7th of 27 Jocko Willink Quotes

7. “Combat is reflective of life, only amplified and intensified.” – Jocko Willink

 

8. “Human beings are generally not capable of managing more than six to ten people, particularly when things go sideways and inevitable contingencies arise.” – Jocko Willink

9. “It is essential to develop a standardized planning process.” – Jocko Willink

10. “Some of the boldest, most successful plans in history have not come from the senior ranks but from frontline leaders. Senior leaders simply had the courage to accept and run with them.” – Jocko Willink

11. “There can be no leadership when there is no team.” – Jocko Willink

12. “Ego clouds and disrupts everything.” – Jocko Willink

13. “I had to take complete ownership of what went wrong. That is what a leader does — even if it means getting fired. If anyone was to be blamed and fired for what happened, let it be me.” – Jocko Willink

 

14th of 27 Jocko Willink Quotes

14. “Leadership requires belief in the mission and unyielding perseverance to achieve victory.” – Jocko Willink

 

15. “The book derives its title from the underlying principle — the mind-set — that provides the foundation for all the rest: Extreme Ownership. Leaders must own everything in their world. There is no one else to blame.” – Jocko Willink

16. “They didn’t have to jump for joy at the though of fighting alongside Iraqi soldiers on a dangerous battlefield. But they did have to understand why they were doing it so that they could believe in the mission.” – Jocko Willink

17. “Extreme Ownership is a mind-set, an attitude.” – Jocko Willink

18. “If frontline troops are unclear about the plan and yet are too intimidated to ask questions, the team’s ability to effectively execute the plan radically decreases.” – Jocko Willink

19. “Leading people is the most challenging and, therefore, the most gratifying undertaking of all human endeavors.” – Jocko Willink

20. “The goal of all leaders should be to work themselves out of a job. When mentored and coached properly, the junior leader can eventually replace the senior leader, allowing the senior leader to move on to the next level of leadership.” – Jocko Willink

21. “To implement real change, to drive people to accomplish something truly complex or difficult or dangerous — you can’t make people do these things. You have to lead them.” – Jocko Willink

 

22nd of 27 Jocko Willink Quotes

22. “Extreme Ownership: there are no bad teams, only bad leaders.” – Jocko Willink

 

23. “If you allow the status quo to persist, you can’t expect to improve performance, and you can’t expect to win.” – Jocko Willink

24. “Once the wheels were in motion and the full resources of the team were engaged in that highest priority effort, I could then determine the next priority, focus the team’s efforts there, and then move on to the next priority.” – Jocko Willink

25. “The leader is truly and ultimately responsible for everything.” – Jocko Willink

26. “When personal agendas become more important than the team and the overarching mission’s success, performance suffers and failure ensues.” – Jocko Willink

27. “Good leaders don’t make excuses. Instead, they figure out a way to get it done.” – Jocko Willink
