Start Quotes

Quotes About Starting
  • Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
  • Start every day off with a smile and get it over with. –W. C. Fields
  • Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. –Arthur Ashe
  • Start close in, –David Whyte
  • Start Today Save Tomorrow –Manoj Hande
  • Stop aspiring. Start doing. –Nathan Lowell
  • Stop sketching. Start building. –Dennis Crowley
  • Stop learning. Start knowing –Rumi
  • Stop selling. Start helping. –Zig Ziglar




So often we ponder the what if’s in our lives, and we fail to focus on the what have’s. For instance, you can ask, “What if I had done this differently?” or you can reflect, asking, “What have I learned?” Everyone makes mistakes. But rather than mourning what you have seemingly lost—and the resounding adversity and failure—you can celebrate what you have gained, in insight, wisdom and character. Don’t waste time wishing for a do-over; you don’t need to start over. Instead, start now!


If things didn’t work out the first time, there was likely a reason why. And, if you don’t take the time to learn “the why,” improve and start over differently, then you are inevitably going to repeat the same mistakes. So, before you decide to start over, ask yourself these questions: What did you learn, and where and in what ways are you going to improve?

Proverbs 20:3 (GNT) Any fool can start arguments; the honorable thing is to stay out of them.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the Lord is the start of knowledge: but the foolish have no use for wisdom and teaching.
Proverbs 9:10 The start of wisdom is fear of Yahweh, and knowledge of the Holy One, insight.
Proverbs 8:22 The Lord made me as the start of his way, the first of his works in the past.
1 Peter 4:17 For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Honesty Moves You Forward | MWM
Honesty moves you forward = Being honest with yourself and with others saves so much time and much energy. When you're honest you can spend more time moving forwards than having to retrace your steps to make sure everything lines up.


You Lead Better When You Acknowledge Your Failures | MWM
Embrace Authenticity = Embrace honesty when you make mistakes. People respect leaders who openly admit when they are wrong and work to make things right. When you are willing to be vulnerable—accepting and learning from your mistakes and failures—you and your team can move forward. Authenticity doesn’t guarantee success, but inauthenticity guarantees failure. 


Authenticity Earns Credibility
Be Authentic And Real = We all want to have honest relationships and be around people who are honest. Honest people are truthful, what they say is reflected in what they do. They have a sense of character and authenticity. Everyone has good days and bad days, and when we admit that and walk through life in the middle of the road, we develop credibility and live honestly.

Today’s Work is Tomorrow’s Success | MWM
https://youtu.be/88nAHom-BH4
Success Is A Journey = Graduation signifies that you have accomplished something, but you don’t become successful the day you graduate. You became successful the day you decided to go to school, take the course, pursue the goal. Success is a continual journey that shows up at graduation. Success is not the same as recognition of success. When we graduate we are being recognized for what we did right, yesterday.

Money Creates Options | MWM
Money Gives You Options = Money gives you options. You are able to make more decisions in your life—the kind of car you drive, vacations you can take, and options on generosity. You cannot give what you do not have—if you want to give more, do more, experience more, and have more options in life—it really does come back to making more money.
