23 Ability Quotes

Let these Ability Quotes inspire and motivate you.In life, we all have the ability to choose our actions. Some of these actions will be akin to automatic responses, and some of them conscious, deliberate actions.

Our trajectory in life is not governed by our ability but by our willingness to strive. We must remember that we’ve all been gifted with a life and the sovereign uniqueness of a soul. We’re unique but we’re not alone.

So it’s not enough to be ‘very good’ if we have the ability to be truly ‘great’. We’ve all known people who are blessed with fantastic natural talent or ability. Someone might have natural advantages of looks, upbringing or smarts, and that can get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there and truly live up to your potential. We all have ability. Ability is what we are capable of doing. Motivation helps drive the actions we take. Our ability to perceive more than one angle, or viewpoint of something, makes us a person of strength and balance.

Let us rejoice in our abilities and know that we can always get better, and improve over time. Let this be our mantra: I am able. I have ability. I will let that ability shine.

1. You have the ability to choose your actions. You have been gifted with life and soul.
   Ramon Luis, Catch The Wave
   We all have the ability to choose how we respond to stimuli. Our response might be instant, or it might take time for us to respond. But whether our actions are conscious or subconscious, we are alive and have been given a soul. To truly live, we must be in the moment and understand our actions are ours to choose from. Making them conscious is how we mature as adults.

2. It’s not enough to be very good if you have the ability to be great.
   Pam Farrel, The 10 Best Decisions a Woman Can Make

   I love this quote because it makes me think of the very well (over!?) used simile: “From small acorns grow mighty oaks.” We all have the potential for greatness. We all have natural talents and abilities. We should know that no matter what, we should live up to our potential, not the expectations of others.

3. Ability will get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there.
   Norm Stewart, ‎George Scholz, Basketball

   Character is where the rubber hits the road. Character gives you staying power and resilience. Character is who you are when no one else is looking. If you integrate yourself with your true character, you can (and will!) get to the top.
   Character Quotes



4. Ability is what we are capable of doing. Motivation determines what we do, what actions we take.
   Let’s Talk About Varsity

   If you do the thing, you can then feel the motivation. It’s often that case that people get those two things reversed. You should DO the first task and then you’ll FEEL the motivation. Your abilities are not limited, and your motivation is governed by you. Get cognisant of what drives you and make sure your abilities can shine because of your motivation, not in spite of it.
   Motivational Quotes



5. Our ability to see more than one angle or standpoint of something makes us a person of strength and balance.
   Vayne Thomas, Someone Is Looking for Your Voice and Creativity

   I love this quote because it reminds me that you have to (as the road sign says) ‘look both ways’. To keep the balance in life, we have to see things from other people’s point of view. We need to look at things on the ‘rotisserie of our brains’, turning it over and over to see each side of a problem or a challenge. That’s how you build a strong character.
