Rasheed Ogunlaru quotes about power

Before you chase success, status, power, wealth fame or love; first fall in love with yourself – for the person you’ll be if and when you get there is still the same. Success will be a painful path and an empty trophy without self acceptance, self worth or if littered with self hate.

There are two powerful fuels, two forces; motivation and inspiration. To be motivated you need to know what your motives are. Over time – and to sustain you through it – your motivation must become an inner energy; a ‘motor’ driving you forward, passionately, purposefully, wisely and compassionately… come what may, every day. Inspiration is an outer – worldly – energy that you breathe and draw in. It may come from many places, faces, spaces and stages – right across the ages. It is where nature, spirit, science, mind and time meet, dance, play and speak. It keeps you outward facing and life embracing. But you must be open-minded and open-hearted to first let it in and then let it out again. Together – blended, combined and re-entwined – motivation and inspiration bring connectivity, productivity, creativity and boundless possibilities that is not just ‘self’ serving but enriching to all humanity and societies…just as it should be.

Sometimes it’s important to dare to dream – small or big – like Mandela, Gandhi, Winfrey, Obama, Malala and Dr King. From Einstein to Hawking – the skies no limit. From Ali to the Williams sisters – through trials and talent find the champions within. Like my mother did to raise great kids. Like the one or many who run with this. Like the unsung heroes in every city and village. Like the kind of heart and selfless healers. Like every act of kindness you ever did and received. Like the human spirit beyond class, colour and creed. Like every soul who has raised our consciousness. From one to all – love IS all we have and need.

One of the fascinating things about our lives – and minds – is that tend to spend years wishing and wanting others and the world around to see in us that which we ourselves do not appreciate fully.

— Rasheed Ogunlaru


We spend so much time trying to change others – in part – because we do not deeply believe in and embrace ourselves as we already are. And so more often than not we do not learn to trust and utilize our gifts and power whole-heartedly enough to pursue and fulfill our own passions, purpose and possibilities.
