20 Motivational Quotes to Fuel Your Career Transition

Picture
When I ask physicians what gets in the way of transitioning to a nonclinical career, one of the most common reasons shared is loss of motivation.

It can feel hard to find the motivation to continue on your search for the ideal nonclinical job when you’re not getting any response back on applications and dealing with multiple rejections.

The truth is that motivation comes from within. This is really good news because it means you have more control than you think. Motivation is generated by the thoughts you think. The problem is that many of those thoughts are unconscious and operating in the background of your life.

So now that you’re aware of where your motivation comes from, don’t sit around waiting for it to magically appear. Be proactive and fuel your motivation with these 20 inspiring quotes that are sure to spark positive thoughts.

  1. The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life; and the procedure, the process is its own reward. — Amelia Earhart

  2. There is no passion to be found playing small — in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.  — Nelson Mandela

  3. When the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it may be that they take better care of it there. — Cecil Selig

  4. In a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks. — Warren Buffet

  5. The future depends on what you do today. — Mahatma Gandhi

  6. If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. — Milton Berle 

  7. I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. — Steven Covey

  8. Fear, uncertainty and discomfort are your compasses toward growth. — Celestine Chua

  9. I've learned that "making a living" is not the same thing as "making a life". — Maya Angelou

  10. Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. — Andre Gide

  11. The best way to predict the future is to create it. — Abraham Lincoln

  12. Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly. — Stephen R Covey

  13. It is not as much about who you used to be, as it is about who you choose to be. — Sanhita Baruah 

  14. The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any. — Alice Walker

  15. Opportunities don't happen, you create them. — Chris Grosser

  16. Start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible. — Francis of Assisi

  17. Without leaps of imagination or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all is a form of planning. — Gloria Steinem 

  18. Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. — Les Brown

  19. I was once afraid of people saying ‘Who does she think she is?’ Now I have the courage to stand and say, ‘This is who I am.’ — Oprah Winfrey

  20. When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. — Lao Tzu
