Here's an interesting article on inspirational quotes. I'm not a professional writer, and I'm not promoting any products or services, nor am I profiting from this article. But it's good information, and I thought you should know about it. The article explores the many possible sources of daily inspiration. It also describes how to use those sources effectively to create motivation.

Many people think that there is only one source of inspiration, a single person or thing that makes us get up in the morning and continue on with our day. Maybe that's true for you. Perhaps you're a chronic worrier, or have trouble remembering the names of people you've met. In that case, you've probably been hearing some of the most incredible sayings in the world, which have kept you going in the face of adversity. Or maybe you're a person who like to think big, and sees possibilities where others see problems. Either of those could be your typical motivational source.
Personally, as a writer, I can tell you that I get inspired by many things, and even by the way we handle stress in our lives. For me, the source of inspiration often comes from within, but I find that external sources are just as helpful. Someone once said that every problem has an answer that's hidden in a single word. If you can find that one answer, that's enough to spur you on to success. Finding that single solution is usually harder than finding the solution itself, but once you do, that's where you're headed.
So what are some other sources of inspiration? I have many friends who are constantly inspiring me. One of them is Billy Jealousy, the internationally-acclaimed author and speaker. He comes up with so many ideas each day. Another person I'm very close to is Jerry Seinfeld, who gives me a lot of funny thoughts, observations, and observations. There are many more, but my two favorite are Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
These people give me a little bit of fresh air every day, a good laugh, and a reminder that there's something worth working for every day. They're not just role models, they're real people with real lives. When you read their books, they're filled with real problems that they faced, and the solutions that they used to get over them. Sometimes they write about those solutions in detail. And if you get a chance to read one of their books, you'll likely find several of the solutions to be true.
If you're like me, then you have plenty of "to do" lists, to-do lists, and projects that never get done. All of these are possible sources of inspiration. When you're doing your homework or trying to come up with a business idea, you may get a little bit frustrated. But if you're taking a break from your work and just sitting down to enjoy a good book, you may find that it's more productive than any of your other efforts.
The thing about being motivated by something that you've done, however, is that it requires a little bit of effort on your part. You might not think of yourself as having the motivation to read a good book or to go out in the cold and work on a new business idea. But the thing is, once you start feeling like you've made progress, you start to get excited about the possibilities. And sometimes, those potential solutions are enough to inspire you enough to actually get started on completing your task. So, if you can find one of your daily inspiration sources, that would be ideal.

Some more possible sources of inspiration for you include things that you read in books or on the internet. It might be a quote by a famous person, or a funny passage from a book or website. Or maybe you can find a way to incorporate one of your hobbies into your daily inspiration routine. Regardless, of what your inspiration source is, make sure that you're constantly using it as a source of motivation in order to keep yourself on track.
Life is the best source of motivation for me.
