Motivational Quotes From Vincent Van Gogh
Here is a series of quotes from one of the world’s most famous painter, Vincent Van Gogh.
I dream of painting and then I paint my dream.
That simple quote is very meaningful and true. He had this dream and he pursued it and succeed. A simple lesson is that when we dream of something – I am talking of life’s dream here not a dream we had when we slept – we have to pursue it to make it happen.
If you hear a voice within you say “you cannot paint,” then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
Yes, its that tiny voice in our minds that contradicts us. Its our subconscious mind that often causes us to think negatively, thus, we quit in achieving our goals or dreams. The quote tells us that we have to fight it and never get influenced by it again because it will only hinder us from achieving the things we want to achieve.
Happiness… it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.
Happiness occurs when we achieve our goal. Imagine all the hardships that you’ve been through and after passing all of it, you finally reached your goal. Those hardships I think is the foundation of the success you now have.
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
This tells us that even Vincent Van Gogh has once fallen also. A famous painter has experienced failure and yet he never quit. For that alone makes him a winner because only quitters lose. Instead, he took his pencil again and continue on his drawing and started achieving again.
I just found these quotes by Vincent Van Gogh after a friend forwarded me the second on the list. I thought that this is very empowering and motivating. A quote from a famous person that everyone may apply in their own life to succeed in their own goals as well.
