Here are 33 empowering motivational quotes for success in life. To get the maximum benefits from these quotes, you have got to ponder and contemplate them.
Now, you are going to ask me how to do that (ponder on a quote!). Well, I learned to contemplate words or teachings back in India. We were given a teaching of a quote by Sri Bhagavan daily, taught about it, and were asked to think about them the whole day. How? Simple, go walk in nature or meditate by putting your intention on learning the quotes.
Ask yourself what the author or the writer means by the quote, imagine how he/she experienced the quote, take a deep breath then ask “How can I internalize this quote?”
Enjoy!
