Entrepreneurs keep talking about trying, failing (fast), and starting over. But we often forget to talk about and acknowledge the feelings in between failing and starting over.
In the deep well of feeling like a failure (which is not quite true), of being disappointed, having to deal with all the negative emotions surrounding this kind of situation, we need to find the energy to stand up, straighten up, and move on. Move forward towards the next goal. Build positivity and resilience to allow us to start over and progress.
Moving Forward, Strength, Resilience, Persistence, Positivity, Starting Over, Progress
We need to keep moving forward. The list of quotes in this article are exactly about that: moving forward. These are quotes from great inspirational leaders, artists, and normal extraordinary people who talk about persistence, strength, resilience, positivity, the burning desire to keep moving on towards their life goals.
Life is not always about winning. Some of the times you win, some other times you learn. Life is also about learning to let go, starting over, making progress, smaller in the beginning, more as we keep on keeping on. Life is about laughing, learning, crying, working, loving, being present, and enjoying every step of the way.
That’s what we aimed to remind you in this article.
It’s a long list of quotes, but it’s witty, it’s wise, it’s funny and a little sad sometimes. It’s a treasure trove of inspiration.
