As a female motivational speaker, Bethany is passionate about sharing her story and inspiring other young girls to never give up.
Here are some powerful motivational quotes from Bethany Hamilton that will cover such topics as never giving up, hope, faith, courage, determination, passion, and gratitude:
I don’t want easy, just possible.
Find your Why. Reach goals. Live each day to the fullest.
We don’t grow when things are easy. We grow when we face challenges.
Being creative on the waves is challenging, but we each create art in our own way.
Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.
Strive to find things to be thankful for, and just look for the good in who you are!
Life is full of what-ifs. You can’t let it hold you back. If you do, you’re not really living at all.
We’re all not perfect. We all have something that we think is wrong with us, but all it takes is a little love.
People can do whatever they want if they just set their heart to it, and just never give up, and just go out there and do it.
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice.
Whatever your situation might be, set your mind to whatever you want to do and put a good attitude in it, and I believe that you can succeed.
Fear is something that can really hold us all back from different things in life. It’s important to notice what your fears are and try to conquer them.
You make your own adventure in life. And I truly believe that if you open your eyes to your surroundings, there’s lots of neat stuff to be found practically anywhere on Earth.
We all go through rough times. We have those obstacles that seem too large to overcome or that current that you never seem to swim out of. We have to decide what matters most to us.
I think passion is something that’s more powerful than even love. It’s something that you’re not willing to let go of, and you’ll work really hard to make sure that stays a part of your life.
Being present means living your actual life, accepting it for what it is, and making the absolute most of it. Cut out the constant barrage of distractions so you can be truly present with the people and things that matter most.
Gratitude is a theme in my life. Appreciation is how I was able to quickly shift my mindset after losing my arm. Instead of focusing on what I didn’t like about my body or my limitations, I choose to be grateful for the remarkable body that I have.
