Motivational Quotes: Gratitude, Love, Mindfulness
20 Feb 2019 · 4 min
In this special episode of the Brendon Show, Brendon Burchard compiles a series of his popular 60‑second Instagram quote videos into a podcast mashup. He explains the origin of the clips—short, fire‑filled reflections drawn from his books, blogs, and articles—and invites listeners to follow him on Instagram, share screenshots, and use the #BrendonShow hashtag for giveaways. The episode weaves together several core messages: act from your highest self rather than seeking approval; recognize that external validation is fleeting while inner joy and love are essential; practice daily gratitude as a lens that enriches life’s meaning; take responsibility for the energy you project and choose emotions consciously; and, despite criticism and darkness, make intentional, kind choices each day. Throughout, Brendon delivers enthusiastic, conversational motivation, urging listeners to integrate these principles into their New Year’s resolutions and daily habits.

Hey, my friends, it's Brendon Burchard. And welcome to a special episode of the Brendon show where we jump into some of the best of my motivational quotes. Hey, y', all, y' all been asking for this for a long time and we finally put it together for. For you. Every single day I do a new 60 second audio sort of of my best quotes or of coaching that we put on Instagram. And I have just gotten such an outpouring of love for these. As you can see, each of them tends to get, you know, tens and tens of thousands or tens of tens of tens of thousands of views. So much love for these. And basically what I've done is I. If you haven't seen it, I. Please follow me on Instagram, Brendon Burchard. And what I like to do is post an actual quote of mine that I've written from one of my six books or, you know, the thousands of blogs and articles that I've done. And what I like to do is just grab a little bit of a quote, maybe it's two to three sentences. And so I read the quote on Instagram and then I just go off on that quote for like 60 seconds. So literally just one minute of fire. And then as much as I can pretty much every single day on Instagram that I created originally and people just wanted like a roundup of those. So finally somebody actually DM me on Instagram and said, man, you should do a mashup of all these on your podcast. These are like friggin inspiring. They're insightful, they're motivational because they're some of the best of what I've written. And I think you'll really enjoy these. It's kind of a funny format because each of them was only 62nd and we're stringing together a bunch of them from this week for you right here in what we're gonna call the motivational quotes episodes. I hope you'll really enjoy that. So without further ado, enjoy these 60 seconds of motivation for your day, my friend. If you really like these, make sure you're following me on Instagram.

Let's go.
If no one has said, who do you think you are? What are you, crazy? Are you sure that's a good idea? Then perhaps you are not thinking boldly enough. My friends, stop acting just to get approval. Stop acting just to belong. And start acting from your truest, highest self. The part of you that doesn't worry so much about criticism or judgment or rejection. The part of you that knows the real truth, the real need, the real important stuff of life is you being.
Who you really are.
The you doing the things that bring you aliveness, that make you alert, that make you feel like, wow, this is who I am. This is what I'm supposed to do. This is how life should feel, regardless of what other people are saying.
Because they're always going to judge you. They're always going to push you down, they're always going to make fun of you.
There's always going to be those people out there, but there will also be other people who recognize your true gifts, your true talents, your true unique abilities. And they'll celebrate you.
So go, my friend goes. Go. If you don't try to experience love and joy in your heart each day, then perhaps you've forgotten what it's all about. You know, everybody's setting New Year's resolutions this week, and everybody really wants to improve their lives. They want new things, new experiences, new ambitions, new goals. They want to experience a better quality of life. But so many people look for external.
Ways to do that.
They need the new achievement, they need the new thing, and yet they don't understand. The greatest quality of a life always comes from the quality of our own emotions, our own feelings, the way that we sense and feel the world. And if you ask anybody who's achieved the highest levels of fulfillment in life, where that comes from, they always mention two very simple emotions, joy and love. These are things you can cultivate in your life. Make sure that joy and love are some part of your New Year's resolutions. Give thanks today. Gratitude is the golden frame through which we can view the meaning of life. What I mean by that is when you look at life through a lens of appreciation, when you have a thankfulness in your heart, when what you see in this life, all the gifts you've been given, the opportunities, the joys, the beauty of this world, and the gift of that very next breath that you have, when you see all that through the lens of deep appreciation, then life comes alive. There's a deepness, a richness, a depth to what you experience in life. There's meaning there and you can't find that meaning or that purpose or that magic of life if you can't appreciate the beauty of it all. So you have to take a moment today to be thankful. Give thanks for your life, have reverence for your life. We're blessed to be here. If you are always in a state of hurry, anxiety, stress and busyness, then what energy are you teaching others to adopt? I always like to tell people, please be responsible for the energy you are projecting into the world. We each have a choice about how we feel and what emotions we choose to cultivate in our life over a period of time. We also get to choose what energy we project and throw at other people. And going day by day just through the motions, being a reactive person, getting angry at everything, getting upset. I've been there and that's no way to live your life. The great choices of life are the ones where you say these things. Hurry, anxiety, stress are not going to be part of my life anymore. I'm going to learn to manage my internal reality. I'm going to take control of how I think, feel and behave. That is true freedom. When their hearts close, love more. When they forget the thank yous, don't stop giving when they are taken by darkness. Be a champion of light. In your strength lies hope for the world, my friend. Yes, there is darkness. Yes, there are people being critical and judgmental and rude. Yes, there's a lot of noise out there that makes it seem like the world is such a difficult and dark and horrible place. And yet you have a choice every day to wake up and be the best of who you are. You have a choice every day to walk out that door and be intentional on how kindly you treat other people, how thoughtful you are, how patient you are, how diligently you work towards things that mean something to you. So even in all the noise, you still have choice. And that in itself is a beautiful thing.
