These 15 powerful quotes will inspire and strengthen you.
They’re like little boosts of courage, helping you to believe in yourself and tackle anything that comes your way.
Let’s get started.
1. “You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.” ~ William Faulkner
To reach something amazing and new, you have to let go of what feels safe and familiar.

Just like a swimmer who has to leave the shore to find new waters, I need to have courage to leave my comfort zone.
Only then can I discover new things, adventures and possibilities that were out of sight before.
2. “Never consider the possibility of failure. As long as you persist, you will be successful.” ~ Brian Tracy
If I don’t let myself think about failing, I won’t give up.

When I keep trying, even when things are tough, I get closer to success.
Failure only happens when I quit so, if I keep moving forward and don’t allow doubts to stop me, success will come eventually.
3. “Life is a gift and it offers us the privilege, opportunity and responsibility to give something back by becoming more.” ~ Tony Robbins.
Life is like a wonderful present. I have the chance to enjoy it but I also have a duty to make a difference.

This way, I can add something special to the world and make the gift of life even better.
4. “The hard way builds solidly a foundation of confidence that cannot be swept away.” ~ Colonel Sanders.

This confidence is like a strong foundation that can’t be easily shaken, even when life throws big storms my way.
5. “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” ~ William Ernest Henley.
I am in charge of my own life. Just like a ship captain steers his ship, I control my actions and choices.
No one else can direct my path or make decisions for me. It’s up to me to guide myself to where I want to go in life.
6. “Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.” ~ Billy Graham.
When I see someone brave, it makes me feel braver, too.
Just like a strong voice can inspire a crowd, one person’s courage can encourage others to be bold.
If I take a stand, I might help others feel stronger and more confident, even if they were scared before.
7. “The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started.” ~ Dawson Trotman.
Waiting around and not starting is where I lose the most time.
I can sit and think about doing something, but until I start, nothing happens.
If I am taking that first step, even if it’s small, I’m moving forward and not wasting precious time.
8. “The path to success is to take massive, determined action.” ~ Tony Robbins.
Success doesn’t come from small, random actions.

If I want to reach my goals, I have to act with purpose and energy.
Going all in, working hard and focusing on what I want will lead me down the path to success faster than anything else.
9. Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind. ~ Leonardo da Vinci.
Problems and challenges can’t break me if I’m determined to overcome them.
Like a star that stays steady in the sky, I keep my goals in mind and don’t give up.
With a strong will, I can push through anything standing in my way.
10. Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable. ~ African Proverb.
One stick can be broken easily, but a bunch of sticks held together is super strong.
This means when I work together with others, we’re much stronger than when we’re alone.
If we support each other, we can face challenges and not be broken.
11. “When you cannot make up your mind which of two evenly balanced courses of action you should take – choose the bolder.” ~ W. J. Slim.
If I’m stuck between two choices and both seem good, I should pick the one that feels daring.
Choosing the bolder path helps me grow and pushes me to be brave.
It might be scary, but it could lead to amazing new opportunities I’d miss otherwise.
12. Better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing flawlessly. ~ Robert H. Schuller.
It’s better to try, even if I make mistakes, than to wait for everything to be perfect.
If I wait too long, I might never get started.
If I am doing my best, even if it’s not perfect, I’m making progress and learning along the way.
13. If they hadn’t tried to break me down, I wouldn’t know that I’m unbreakable. ~ Gabourey Sidibe.
The hard times I face show me just how strong I am. If no one had ever challenged me, I wouldn’t realize my own strength.
It’s through tough situations that I prove to myself I can’t be broken, no matter what comes my way.
14. “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” ~ John D. Rockefeller.
Sometimes I need to let go of what’s good to reach something better.
If I hold on to what’s safe, I might miss out on something amazing.
If I dare to give up what’s comfortable, I open myself to bigger and better possibilities.
15. Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame. ~ Moroccan Proverb.

A wise person stays calm and steady, just like a rock doesn’t move when the wind blows.
Praise doesn’t make them proud and criticism doesn’t bring them down.
They know who they are and they stay strong in their beliefs, no matter what others say.
I hope these quotes will make you unshakeable.
