It's not easy staying motivated.
Especially when your goal is to become a successful Solopreneur/Creatorpreneur/Entrepreneur, make an impact and leave a legacy.
But anytime you feel like giving up, just turn back to these 6 simple quotes (to remind you why you're doing what you're doing):
1. What you leave behind is not what's engraved in stone monument, but what is woven into the lives of others – Pericles
This is a testament to how many lives you've impacted, whether they worked with you directly or not.
When you start considering how to impact people without them knowing, that's when you know you're onto something potentially bigger than yourself.
2. If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more, become more, then you are an excellent leader – Dolly Parton
Leaving a legacy requires the work of more than just 1 individual.
If you're able articulate a dream that others can believe in and support you then you're on the right path.
If you can inspire others to do what you can't or go even further, then you're paving the way for others to follow and succeed.
3. If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do something worth writing – Benjamin Franklin
You tend to forget that legacy's come in different forms for different people.
If you have ideas then make sure you share them to inspire someone else to run with the idea and make it blossom.
If you can create then build something magnificent that others will write and talk about for centuries to come.
4. It is your decisions, and not your conditions, that determine your destiny – Tony Robbins
Everyone has the choice to leave a legacy.
Whatever has happened to you in the past does not determine your future and you have the capacity to make choices.
It's also a choice to remind yourself that you're leaving parts of your legacy everyday.
5. All good men and women must take responsibility to create legacies that will take the next generation to a level we could only imagine – Jim Rohn
You're the role model for your children.
Parents want their children to succeed so it starts with you.
How you live your life and the impact you make ripples for generations to come.
