My Favorite Inspiring Quotes

Some days are harder than others. We can feel unmotivated or just plain old, stuck. For those days, here are some of my favorite quotes that make me feel like I can do this.

"We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us." -Joseph Campbell

In general, people tend to have a certain mind set on the course something might take; whether it be a relationship, their career or a project their working on. The truth is, we must let fate take its course and realize whatever is meant to be will happen. If you work hard, you will succeed in your trials.

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination." -Jimmy Dean

This quote gives me some serious Moana vibes! I love the idea that this quote touches upon. Yes, I cannot change what the universe has planned for me, but I can react and respond to it well and roll with the cards dealt to you. When one door closes, another opens.

"If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door." -Milton Berle

In life, nothing is handed to us. We must work hard to pursue our dreams. We will not be handed a degree, a job, or a promotion. We must work hard for our accomplishments. Just because there is nothing obviously being presented to you, you can still work hard to put yourself ahead of the game.

"What we think, we become." -Buddha

There is nothing better to have than a positive mindset. Think positive, and good things will happen to you. If you are thinking negative thoughts, then you will only see the darkness surrounding you. Like in Peter Pan, just think of a wonderful thought, any happy little thought...

"Stars can't shine without darkness." -D.H. Sidebottom

Finally, if you are struggling and going through a rough patch in life, just remember, it can only get better. It is always darkest before the dawn, and eventually things will start to turn around. Just keep trying to stay as positive as possible and keep your chin high.
