One thing that we all want in life is to succeed. But as much as we would all love to succeed, success doesn’t come that easy. When we first decide to do something, we begin with enthusiasm and it is all we want to do and all that we can think of.
But somewhere along the line, that zeal, that enthusiasm we felt, begins to fade away and we lose interest in whatever it is. This often happens when you feel like you are working and yet not seeing the results you want.
One thing you should however remember is that you can’t succeed if you give up on something. So you have to keep going and give it your all. But how do you do that when you are not even interested in it anymore?
Well, it’s simple. Find a reason to be interested in it again. You started for a reason, remind yourself why you started, and then keep going. And then every day, keep reminding yourself. When you do this, you will always have the zeal to pursue your goals.
One thing that affects us a lot is what we tell ourselves. The things we think of ourselves and the words we say to ourselves can make us or break us. So you have to keep telling yourself positive things every day, things that make you want to go after your goals and achieve them.
Below are 25 powerful success mantras you can tell yourself every day, to give you the motivation and zeal to go after your dreams. You don’t have to say all of them every day, you can just pick the one that resonates with you and say it to yourself every day.
25 powerful mantras for success
Don’t wish for it, work for it.
How many times have you seen someone’s achievements and wished they were yours? The next time that happens, remind yourself that they worked for what they have and you can get it too if you work hard enough.
You get what you focus on
This mantra is like the law of attraction. When you put your mind, focus, and energy on something, you get exactly that. If you concentrate on your goals and work for them, you will achieve them.

Action conquers fear
This mantra is a reminder that sometimes, things only seem scary because we haven’t tried them yet. More often than not, what we are afraid of is all in our head and once you do it you realize that it wasn’t even scary in the first place. So don’t let fear stop you, just do it.
You can find an excuse or you can find a way
How many times have you given up on something before you even begin because you thought of a reason why you can’t do it. You know the saying that goes “where there is a will, there is a way”. There’s always a way, you just have to find it, so instead of finding excuses and reasons why you can’t go after your dreams, find a way to go after them.

This is very good for the one who likes to postpone things. Always remember that there’s always going to be a reason why you can’t, so just do it. The best time to start is now. Don’t reschedule, start now!
I’m doing this for me
Self-love and self-care are very important. As much as you would like to be there for others, the truth is you can’t truly love or care about others if you don’t care for yourself first.
Think about it this way? How can you help someone when you are ill? How can you help the needy, when you are poor? It doesn’t matter how much you want to care for others you have to take care of yourself first. So if you ever feel like giving up on yourself, remind yourself that you are doing it for you.
Excellence does not require perfection
Sometimes, people put off doing something because they feel the need to do it perfectly. Others feel they need to learn everything about something before they begin. Sometimes, you don’t need to know everything, you just have to start. You will learn as you go.
Know your limitations, and defy them
What’s stopping you? What’s holding you back? Think about it. Figure it out. And once you know what it is, find a way to overcome it.
Wake up. Kick ass. Be kind
Need the motivation to get out of bed every morning? Then this mantra is for you, wake up, seize the day, and always remember to be kind to others.
One year equals 365 possibilities
You know the saying, where there is life, there is hope. This saying is a reminder that each day you are alive, you have the chance to work for your goals. So if you tried yesterday and it didn’t work out, today is another day, so try again, a different approach may be, but try again.
