You never know what someone is going through. Everyone has an issue. Some are bigger than others.We have a tendency of always trying to look our best and put on our smiles to pretend like everything is okay. Just because someone looks like they have it all together doesn't mean that they do. For all of my fellow collegians going through a tough time, here are some great motivational quotes to get you through the next few weeks…and some puppies. Hang in there!
1."Difficult Roads Often Lead to Beautiful Destinations"
When whatever you're going through seems so bad that you don't feel like you can get out, just try to think that everything happens for a reason. What seems difficult now will make you a stronger, more beautiful person.
2.“I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles." (Audrey Hepburn)
Hold on to the things that give you the strength to believe in what you can't always see. Have some faith and remember that the sun will come out tomorrow! Get excited people. #Annie
3. “Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?" (Fanny Brice)
Short and simple: you do you and forget everyone else. At the end of the day, only you have to live with yourself.
4.“No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main." (John Donne)
Remember that there is always good in everything. Keep company with people who make you laugh. Surround yourself with happy people who lift you up. Let them inspire you.
5. “Don't take life too seriously or you'll never get out of it alive." (Elbert Hubbard)
It's okay to let your guard down and do something out of the ordinary. Enjoy the simple things in life: talking with friends, a sunny day, laughing until you snort, etc. Life is too short to live with a stick up your a**. It's too uncomfortable.
6. “The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." (Martin Luther King)
This is an awesome quote. It's a quote you should put in your journal and look at every day. Remember that when you're put in a difficult situation, your true colors always shine through. How do you want to be seen by the world?
7."Life becomes easier when you learn to accept the apology you never got." (Robert Brault)
We all have those people in our lives whether it's an ex or an untrue friend who did something sh*tty and never apologized for it. Sometimes all you can do is clean out the junk in your closet, take a deep breath, and move on.
8.“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget the way you made them feel." (Maya Angelou)
Just remember that a simple smile can change someone's day for the better just like an ignorant comment or rude remark can change it for the worst. You have the power to impact another person, so remember even the smallest actions can make a difference.
9. "Fall seven times, stand up eight." (Japanese proverbs)
Don't be lazy. Don't be lame. Lift your head up during the tough times because with each bad experience comes strength and courage. Life is a learning experience, you just have to choose to empower yourself when you make mistakes.
10.“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so that better things can fall together." (Marilyn Monroe)
