Get Over Your Hump With These 20 Quotes
Congratulations! It’s Wednesday and you’ve made it halfway through the week already. I know that some weeks can be busy, tiring, and stressful—which is why I wanted to make this post a little different from my typical ones.
Words have always been an inspiration for me. They have helped me build my confidence and change my life. I love stories, advice, and fragments of passages. Every sentence is strand together beautifully and carefully with each word; much like how life is connected by individual events.
Throughout this post, you’ll find a few of my favorite inspirational quotes that I always keep in my phone to give myself a mini pick-me-up if I need it. I have realized that many people need a pep-talk sometimes, but there isn’t always a person who can give that to you. My goal of this post is to give you something to refer back to when you do need a pep-talk. I want each and every one of you to feel refreshed, accomplished, encouraged, and motivated by the time you’re done reading this.

Either way, I really do believe that good feelings and vibes come from the mind, and I know that you can be great if you let yourself.
