The Power of Motivational Quotes

Iyanla VanzantOther people’s words

Writers know all too well the power of words. The same twenty six letters can be used to capture someone’s imagination or reduce them to tears, and a skillful writer can wield the power of their pen to accomplish whichever goal they intended. It may seem counterintuitive, then, for a writer to use other people’s words, in the form of famous, inspirational or motivational quotes, to make connections.

Building a bridge

“Other people’s words are the bridge you use to cross from where you were to wherever you’re going.” -Zadie Smith

Using quotes can be a powerful way to connect with people – regardless of what prior relationship you may already have had with them. Even if you don’t know a person, they may share an appreciation for the one being quoted, instantly giving, Particularly on a social media network such as Twitter, it is possible to have hundreds of readers mere moments after posting. Your quote catches their eye and they retweet it, giving you an open door to further communication with people you have never reached before.

Establishing credibility

“Accuracy builds credibility.” – Jim Rohn

Quotes can be particularly useful when they are topical to your field. Sales personnel would identify with a quote by Zig Ziglar, techies with Steve Jobs and athletes with Michael Jordan. Selecting quotes that resonate with a target audience can establish credibility and demonstrate a kind of social proof that your ideals and purposes are in line with others in your field.

Motivational quotes for motivating the masses

“The secret to change is to focus all of your energy; not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” – Socrates

Life can be hard. It’s easy to become weary and worn-down in the sameness of everyday. A few words of encouragement or motivation can be enough to help push through the hurdle and move forward with dreams or plans. A quote is a powerful way to speak into someone’s life with words that propel them to the next stage or simply give them the motivation to keep going. Finding ways to encourage or inspire people can create opportunities for relationships.

A carefully selected quote can be a powerful asset. It can forge connections, demonstrate leadership and challenge people to change their life. The next time you aren’t sure what to say, or simply want to connect with others on a new level, let someone else do the talking for you.

Personalizing Inspirational Quotes on Twitter

Quote by Abigail Johnson Sometimes you can gradually improve things.

 

Personalize quotes?

A woman who is just starting her 30-day trial of Nimble Quotes wrote to me yesterday. She didn’t feel that one of the quotes she saw in her Twitter feed (from Nimble Quotes) was right for her. Just to be clear, it wasn’t offensive, it just wasn’t “her”. She wondered what she could do about it so it wouldn’t show up again. She also wondered how she could choose which quotes could show up in her Twitter feed. How could she personalize inspirational quotes so they felt right for her?

Author Choice – personalizing inspirational quotes

There is a setting in Nimble Quotes called Author Choice. The reason it exists is for users to be able to choose those authors they do or do not want to have quotes from. To customize this setting, which is available for Basic and Advanced subscribers, follow these steps:

  • First, sign into nimblequotes.com with your Twitter account
  • Next, click settings to see the drop down menu, choose “Authors”
    Nimble Quotes settings drop down menu

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • The Authors page will open up. Search by first or last name. Once you find the author you DO NOT want quotes from, uncheck the box by the name. In this example, I’ve unchecked Abraham Lincoln as an author I do not want quotes from. The system will update immediately. This is all you need to do.

Some users only want quotes from their 10 favourite people – with Author Choice, this is possible. Others find out which authors’ quotes they like and which they don’t after a couple of months on Nimble Quotes, then make the change.

Settings changes are flexible. Come on back and adjust however it works for you.

Why Author Choice matters

I want to be sure you understand how much effort has gone into the gathering and vetting of appropriate quotes for your enjoyment. You put a large amount of trust into Nimble Quotes when you sign up – you need to trust that the quotes we have in our database are going to make you and your brand, your company, look good to your audience. I take this trust you place in this service very, very seriously.

We have carefully vetted all quotes in the system to be sure they are not political, not racist, not sexist, not negative…we wanted this service to be one that was a very positive experience for the users AND for your audience – since they’ll be seeing “your” quotes each day and will have assumed you’ve chosen to tweet that particular inspirational or motivational quote.

Still, not every quote or every quote author is for everyone. And that is why we created the Author Choice setting, so that you have as much control over the quotes as possible. I hope this feature makes you feel confident about Nimble Quotes and pleased that you can personalize inspirational quotes on Twitter.
