Hal Elrod Quotes Prove Anything’s Possible

“There is no better day than today to do the things you have been putting off. Take action; it’s the only way to change your life.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Quit waiting for tomorrow. As Hal found out, tomorrow is not always guaranteed.

The time to act on your goals and dreams is now! Quit procrastinating and start taking consistent action!

“You have the ability to change or create anything in your life, starting now!” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Never forget, everything you need to do whatever you want in life is already inside of you. But things won’t happen out of thin air.

You have to be intentional, persistent, and consistent to find the courage to create the results in life.

“The greatest gift you can give to others is to fulfill your potential so that you can show them how to fulfill theirs.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Every day you show up in the world and chase your dreams, you are inspiring others. Simply trying to become the best version of you will motivate others to pursue their dreams and goals.

Even when you don’t “feel like doing it” keep going. You just never know who you are inspiring along the way.

“Give yourself permission to be happy. It doesn’t matter what’s going on around you, what matters is what’s going on inside you.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Choose happiness. Remember, it’s a choice to be happy. You can’t let others dictate if you’re going to be happy or not in your life.

Make a concentrated effort every single day to create happiness in your life.

“Your current life situation, no matter how difficult or challenging, is always the perfect opportunity for you to learn, grow, and to become better than you’ve ever been before.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Like Ed Mylett and Tony Robbins always talk about, life is happening for you…not to you! Everything that happens in your life is an opportunity to grow, evolve, and get better every single day.

The next time a major challenge comes up, embrace the hardship and learn from it. Life is full of valuable lessons if you know where to look!

“The moment you accept responsibility for everything in your life is the moment you gain the power to change anything in your life.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

You have to take 100% responsibility for your life. Because what you’ve done has gotten you to where you are at now. Whether it’s personal finances, your job or business or your weight.

If you want to change, you have to accept responsibility so that you can take back the power and start doing what you need to change your life.

“Let today be the day you give up who you’ve been for who you can become.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Human potential is nearly limitless. Don’t get confused and think because of your past choices you can’t reach your biggest goals.

Sometimes to get what you want, you have to give up on who you’ve been to achieve the results in life. Don’t be afraid of change, be afraid of staying exactly the same.

“Don’t let the pain of your past limit the potential of your future.” | Hal Elrod Quotes

Your past doesn’t determine your future! Each day try to do something that will help you move your life forward.

Remember, progress equals happiness!

He’s someone that can help you believe that life is always happening for you and not to you.

While he’s an incredible motivational speaker, this wasn’t how he pictured his life going. Like so many other motivational speakers, he found his way to the stage through overcoming immense personal struggles.

In 2006, during a normal college football game, a routine tackle turned into a life-threatening injury. What transpired was a paralyzed right arm that ended his childhood dreams of becoming a professional instantly.

But, instead of thinking his life was over, he turned his life into a positive message for others. He wanted to help others not give up and show them how to keep moving forward, no matter what happens.

Now he’s a mentor, speaker, and helps people around the world. His videos will give you the inspiration to take action and accomplish your dreams. 

Here are some of the best Inky Johnson quotes to get you fired up.

“Redirection, pain, setbacks, shortcoming, highs, lows. They are all part of the process of success. Embrace it, respect it, and trust it.” – Inky Johnson

So many people want success without difficult times. With social media, it’s easy to see successful people and assume they made it there without struggles or setbacks. But it wasn’t, in fact, far from it.

Instead of wishing the journey will get easier, make a plan to get better. Become the person who can do the things you want to do and trust the process!

“The most important project you can work on is molding yourself into the person you want to become.” – Inky Johnson Quotes 

People look to the outside for answers but everything you need is inside of you. You just need to take 100% responsibility and accountability for your life.

To do the things you want to do in life, it’s about being that person. Imagine who your future self is and ask, “Would they do that?”

You have to become the person you want in your mind before you can create it into reality.

“Courage is the commitment to being without any guarantee of success.” – Inky Johnson

It takes courage to pursue your dreams. Most people live in a world where they’ve buried their dreams in the hopes of pleasing others. But this is no way to live your life.

Make courage one of your core values in life. Have it become your guiding force. While there isn’t any guarantee of success, you will never end up with regret.

“Try to be better than the person you were yesterday.” – Inky Johnson Quotes

Let’s say you have a big problem, maybe you’re deep in debt or really overweight. Instead of trying to find a big solution, find a small action you can take today to make progress.

Big problems don’t’ need big solutions, they need constant work to move in the right direction. Each day, try to be a little better than yesterday.

“The longer it takes to happen, the more you’ll appreciate it when it finally does.” – Inky Johnson

Think back to a time you set a challenging goal. If it could happen in a day or week it probably wasn’t that rewarding. But compared with something that takes months, years or even decades, how great was the celebration?

Think about people who win the lottery. They squander the money because they didn’t earn it or appreciate it.  

So if your goal is taking longer than anticipated, hang in there. Once it happens, the celebration will be worth the wait.

Use these Inky Johnson quotes to start believing in yourself. Inky is proof that with the right belief and mentality, you can do anything you want in life.

Don’t let life get you down, turn adversity into your success.

My name is Alexandrine Maurice. I was born with a genetic disability called spinal muscular atrophy, because of which I spent most of my childhood and teenage years in a hospital addressing the potentially deadly symptoms, even though the doctors believed that saving someone in my situation was pointless.

My parents did everything they could so I could study at the local school rather than a specialized institute. And despite my numerous absences due to hospital visits, I was a good student. Unfortunately, I quickly became the scapegoat of my teachers, my classmates and even their parents. I was harassed, mocked and demeaned constantly. The school did not want me to be there, It seemed every teacher believed I should be sent to a specialized center. The only thing they saw when they looked at me was my disability, my very presence was bothering them.

Depression

My plan was to study for years and obtain a comprehensive education. Although I did all I could, because of the constant rejection I faced, I was forced to abandon my studies at 17.

I was quickly told that someone in my situation, with no degree or further education, had no future. I began to spiral into a deep depression

Faith

But I did not give up. I still had faith. I refused to believe the thousands of people who dismissed me. In fact their doubt gave me strength.

I always had a huge passion for Japanese culture. I had a dream to work in that field so I began tirelessly brainstorming ways I could get an opportunity within the Japanese arts. Despite the overwhelming odds. I always believed, I would find a way.

Opportunity

In 2015, I was able to speak with Takafumi Tsuruta the Japanese designer of the brand Tenbo. Once we were acquainted he offered me a modelling job for his brand during the Tokyo Collection.

Although travelling from France to Japan in my situation was a veritable feat, through sheer tenacity I made it to the shores of Japan some months later, the highlight was parading for Tenbo in front of a large crowd.

Since then, I’ve been working as a model for various brands. My objective is to promote diversity, to encourage people into accepting themselves, the same way I did.

Despite the physical difficulties and the rejections that I suffered during over the years, I refused to give up. Every set back gave me more strength, more resolve.

I know now that I am unbreakable.

Difference Is Better

Difference is good, even though most people subconsciously reject this notion. Because it is much easier to stand with with the crowd than to stand alone. But we must persist. Being noticed is the only way to change society. If nobody arises, nothing will change.

Imagine a world where everyone was the same, what a dull place it would be, variety is the spice of life not conformity. We must remember our evolution was possible only because some of us were different.

Difference Isn’t Fatal

Even though society will try everything to make you believe so, just because you are different doesn’t mean your life is over. Of course, having a disability, or being different from everyone around you won’t make your life easier. But that does not mean it is wrong.

By pulling through the difficulties, by beating back the negativity, by imposing ourselves and refusing to shy away, we develop strength beyond measure.

We are all equals, despite our differences. As such, we all have the right to pursue our own ideal life. Which is why we must remain vigilant against those that persecute the different amongst us, for their short sighted-ness threatens the delicate balance of the world. We must be strong enough to protect those that can’t fight back, because one day they will do the same. It is in this way we can make the world a better place.

Be True To Yourself

During your life, no matter who you are, there will be people who think they know what is best for you, or that their view on the world is the right one, regardless of circumstance. For years, my relatives told me that I should get further education, to become a teacher or a lawyer.

Back then, I didn’t have a dream. So I believed them. I began to study intensely. So much that I fell sick and was forced to take a break from studying. It was only when I had time to think that I realized that what I was told to become was a choice that was made for me. What I truly wanted was to work in the artistic field, to express myself.

None of my relatives supported my dream. Everyone believed that because of my disability, I wouldn’t stand a chance. I should simply stick to my studies. And forget my ‘fantasies’.

I didn’t give up, I remained true to myself. If you’re convinced of what you want to do, don’t let anyone challenge your ideas. When your willing to work for it anything is possible, if you want it bad enough, you won’t let anyone convince you otherwise.

Curiosity Is A Quality

Don’t be afraid of getting involved in things you don’t know anything about. If it interests you, you should explore it.

Back then, I believed that the artistic field was superficial. But I realized that I was wrong. Every aspect of art can be used to communicate an important message.

We don’t know what we can learn if we try, if we don’t try we learn nothing.

If You Want To Do Something, Do Your Best

When you choose a path, no matter which one, you should always give your best. Of course, it’s not always easy. Sometimes, we just want to give up.

But by walking against the wind, even when you want to give up, is how you develop true mental strength. Even if it doesn’t work out, you won’t feel any guilt if you know you gave your all.

As I often say, when you do something, do it fully.

Don’t be afraid of who you are, nor of the path you chose. Nothing else will define your true personality.

Catch that moment when you feel completely defeated, because this is the moment that will change your life for ever. When you are defeated, when you are crying, well, this time is the best motivator ever!
When your tears roll, when you feel that pain, KNOW that struggle makes you stronger. Commit in that moment to never feel that pain again.

Struggle Makes You Stronger (Motivational Speech) by Fearless Motivation – WATCH FREE on YouTube:

You may feel such an anger, you will start screaming, throwing things around, banging on the wall and starting to repeat: stop, stop, stop… WHY ME??- GOD, PLEASE I HAVE ENOUGH…
YES, YOU HAVE ENOUGH!
..and this is your time, because you now feel such a power and desire to change your life once and for all.
Pain will push you forward. Your mind will be flooded with thoughts like this:

I HAVE TO change something!
I WILL SHOW to everyone that I can change my life!
From now on everything will be different!
I WILL PROVE to everyone that I CAN!
I WILL LAUGH LAST!

Use this moment, this is your moment! Step in front of the mirror, look at yourself and declare that no one or no thing will stop you. Write down your commitment. Conclude a contract with yourself and with your life. Commit to it. Sign it and confirm it with the stamp of your tears.

Then read it every day.

“From now on, never will I violate my contract, I will no longer just watch my tears but I will feel the power of my tears and the strength i gain from my tears”

My contract dictates:

Never, ever again! I will not doubt to myself – why should I, limitations only exist in the mind. There is no such thing as limitations.
Never, ever again! I will not listen the doubters – why should I, if they don’t believe even in themselves.
Never, ever again! I will not be without money – why should I – there is limited abundance in this world.
Never, ever again will I give up – why should I, if there is always a solution
Never, ever again! I will not conform to others expectations – why should I work for someone else’s dreams, if I can take action and make my own dreams a reality
Never, ever again! I will not afraid to say NO – why should I spend my time for no gain, if my time is worth millions.
Never, ever again! I will not allow that fear to overcome me – why should I, if the fear doesn’t even exist, but I EXIST!
Never, ever again! I will not regret anything – why should I torture myself before death with questions why, why, why….I DIDN’T, if I can do everything NOW!
Never, ever again! I will not stop before an obstacle, which appeared just before my goal – why should I, if I know that this is the last challeng for me before my dreams come true!
Never, ever again! I will not look back – why should I, if I have a clear vision for the future!
