Motivational Thought

A motivational thought has the power to move you from the paralysis of despair. This might be a quote you have placed on your desk or refrigerator (below you will find the one on my refrigerator). It might be a famous quote or your own words.

Words are powerful.

Anxiety is a major problem in our culture today. Anxiety medications are the most prescribed of all drugs. Various treatment modalities are used in treating anxiety.Here is an ancient proverbial prescription:

Proverbs 12.25

Yes, words have the power to lift us up. If you have just suffered a major financial loss, a motivational thought can come in the kind words of Albert Einstein:

You may find it helpful to carry a powerful motivational thought with you through the day. A helpful practice is to write the words on a card and carry it in your pocket. Throughout the day you can pull it out and find great motivation.

For centuries many have found strength and the power to keep moving forward in life through these words from the great Apostle Paul:

The amazing power of words is mentioned in another ancient proverb:

Allow positive words to form a positive thought that is personalized for you. Internalize these words and allow them to prompt you to positive action. Positive thinking must always produce positive action.

Don’t underestimate the power of words to make a difference in your life.

Daniel Pink has written the book, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us. Here are some reviews:

"[Pink] continues his engaging exploration of how we work."-Inc. Magazine

"Pink's analysis--and new model--of motivation offers tremendous insight into our deepest nature."-Publishers Weekly

"Important reading...an integral addition to a growing body of literature that argues for a radical shift in how businesses operate."-Kirkus
