Those of you who know me know that I am a huge fan of great motivational speakers and I rely on their quotes and words to help inspire me on the days when I find myself getting down.\u00a0 Zig Ziglar is one of those great motivators who spent the bulk of his life lifting others up with his motivational words.\u00a0 Zig Ziglar, sadly, passed away yesterday from pneumonia.\u00a0 His inspirational example and words will be with us forever and I am truly grateful for the incredible impact he has had on my life through his speeches, his audio talks, his books and his quotes.\u00a0 In his memory I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes of Zig Ziglar that have lifted me up in my life.\u00a0 If you have others to add to the list of favorites please post them in the comments of today\u2019s blog.

\u201cA lot of people have gone further than they thought they could because someone else thought they could\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cSuccess is the doing, not the getting; in the trying, not the triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming all that we can be. If we do our best, we are a success.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you go out looking for friends, you’re going to find they are very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you’ll find them everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no traffic jams on the extra mile.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe greatest of all mistakes is to do nothing because you think you can only do a little.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course motivation is not permanent. But then, neither is bathing; but it is something you should do on a regular basis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cMany marriages would be better if the husband and wife clearly understood that they’re on the same side. \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has never been a statue erected to honor a critic.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou cannot consistently perform in a manner which is inconsistent with the way you see yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cSome of us learn from other people\u2019s mistakes and the rest of us have to be other people.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cThe more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen obstacles arise, you change your direction to reach your goal; you do not change your decision to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n
