Vanessa Kirby Quotes

Why haven't you achieved your goals yet? What are your favorite excuses, and how do they hold you back?

Y'know, the real reason why I was such a failure in the sense of being unable to make any sort of a living was because I was really not motivated. I had no motivation.

Most people fail, not because of lack of desire, but, because of lack of commitment.

There's a realization that you have to do something but you just can't do it all the time.

Sometimes we know the best thing to do, but fail to do it. New year's resolutions are often like that. We make resolutions because we know it would be better for us to lose weight, or get fit, or spend more time with our children. The problem is that a resolution is generally easier to break than it is to keep.

I'm a terrible procrastinator.

I think I grew a grey watching you procrastinate.

Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.

You never accomplish everything you want to accomplish.

I guess I'm motivated by the fear of failure to some degree and knowing what can happen when you don't do things the way you need to do them to have success.
