34 Making Progress Quotes – To Inspire Continued Action

ByGemma Kate

Progress is defined as the ‘forward movement towards a destination.’ And it’s essential to the achievement of big goals in life.

It’s not just about making a goal, but it’s also the work that you need to put in to make sure that your goal becomes a reality. The little steps along the way. One reason why many people find it hard to stick with their goals is because they are overwhelmed by the enormity of what they want to achieve.

The tendency in this case would be for them to think that there’s no way they can ever do all these things, and then give up before making any real progress.

Instead, we need to shift our thinking to just making progress, no matter how small. Because any movement and action towards our goal is better than staying right where we are.

So if you’re feeling discouraged by your progress or don’t feel like anything is changing – take heart because as long as you’re moving forward and making steps toward something better than what exists now – then you’re on the right path towards big changes.

The following quotes about progress and keeping on going, are a great read for when you need a little motivation.
