Dispassionate Quotes to Inspire and Motivate

Motivational Dispassionate Quotes

Which beliefs bring out the best in you?
Which beliefs hold you prisoner to yesterday
and limit your options for designing a great future?
Test your beliefs with as much objectivity
as you can bring to the subject.
Be willing to let go of those beliefs
that represent your parents' opinions,
or your communities opinions, rather than your own.
Those beliefs that withstand rigorous testing,
should become the foundation of your being -
your reason for living.
Take action on those beliefs.

Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity,

thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution
that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.
