No matter what you do, or what type of person you are, losing motivation is common especially in today’s day and age. Everyone is constantly focused on multiple things, like work, social media, family, friends and more.

Losing motivation happens to everyone, people in the creative industries, people who work out, people who cook for their families, each person can and has gone through this slump and we are going to find you some inspirational quotes to kick start your motivation again.

Many of the best quotes come from some of the most inspirational works, films. Films no matter what they are about always have an underlying inspirational story to tell. 

“Do, or do not. There is no “try”. – Yoda (Star Wars)

Yoda is one of the wisest characters in all of cinema, guiding Luke throughout his journey to connecting with the force, a task that Luke himself had lost motivation to during the course of the films. For Yoda, his language is confusing to some, but what he means is to take out the ‘try’ in your life, trying is a way to give up and allow you to fail, so when it comes to tasks you will either do it or not, there is no try. 

“Great men are not born great, they grow great.” –Mario Puzo (The Godfather)

The Godfather is about creating a family of men who can take care of the family, their family, themselves and the business. This quote relates to so many people who believe that people were born to do certain things, and if you weren’t born like them then you wouldn’t succeed. Mario says they grow great, meaning that if you put your mind to it, you too can be greater than anyone else, no matter what you do. 

“Just because someone stumbles and loses their path, doesn’t mean they’re lost forever.” –Professor X (X Men)

This quote is a direct representation of someone who is unmotivated. Many people go through life trying to do as much as they can to succeed, but sometimes they forget what they really love. A lot of people think they need to prove themselves with money or power, when really all they want is a happy and stable life, this quote represents the people who think they are too far from what they originally wanted, just know it is never too late, you can always get back on the horse, turn around and go get what you wanted. 

“We walk away from our dreams afraid we may fail, or worse yet, afraid we may succeed.” –William Forrester (Finding Forester)

This is a direct quote for the dreamers out there, it can work for anybody but sometimes the dreamers need a little bit more of a boost. Many dreamers who want those ‘unrealistic’ lifestyles sometimes do not even attempt to go for what they want because they are afraid of failing. Failing is the most important part of anything, without fail you don’t know how hard you should be trying to get what you want.
