It can be difficult to keep going when you want to give up.

Sometimes, all you need are the right words to keep going.

These quotes have inspired me through many difficult times.

They can move you, motivate you, and impact your life. You just have to learn how to be positive, how to be resilient, and how to be kind to yourself along the way. These quotes can teach you that.

They can make you think. They can make you happy again when you are feeling down. They are filled with “aha” moments waiting for you to experience.

Mostly, they are examples of how to set your standards high and never settle. You can keep doing what you’re doing in life or you can expand from your comfort zone. These quotes can help.

May they inspire you as they inspire me.
