Quotes by Famous Actors on Motivation & Success
Getting ahead in life takes a positive attitude, hard work and hustle. Taking inspiration from the motivational and inspirational quotes below from some of Hollywood’s most famous actors may provide some tips that can be used on a person’s journey to success.
When an individual feels like they are working hard and haven’t achieved what they want in life, it can be helpful to step back and assess the goals they’ve been able to meet. Doing so can also make it easier to see if they are truly working the extra hours required to become successful in the endeavors chosen.
One thing to remember is no one is alone in this pursuit. In the motivational movie on Netflix, “Good Will Hunting,” starring Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Robin Williams, Damon’s character is trying to find direction in his life. It’s interesting that Damon’s character learned that becoming successful can only be done by continued attempts. This reflects his real life quote on success below, “If you work at something, you get better at it.”
“The Pursuit of Happyness” is another motivational movie on Netflix with a positive message. Starring Will Smith, it’s the story of a struggling salesman who is pursuing a life-changing professional career. Will Smith’s real-life quote below, “I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday,” reflects the attitude of Smith’s character in the movie. With this attitude, success becomes inevitable.
