It's the time of year where every poor, tired, and hungry student is lacking the motivation and energy to crawl out of bed -- let alone attend class. When the weight of yesterday and the stress of tomorrow is constantly on the mind, there is difficulty in finding motivation. We are always pushing our own limits and testing new boundaries to see how far we can go. At times, we do find our limits, and we come across a burnout. Burnout simply means that we have become mentally and physically exhausted through overexerting energy into social life, school, work, and extracurriculars. Finding that perfect balance in life is hard, however, it is a learning process we all go through. So when is it too much or not enough? The academic year is almost to an end, so here are some motivational quotes we all need to hear right now!

1. Living a happy life.

Happiness cannot be found. It is not something anyone just happens upon one day and now they are happy. We make the best of each day, and we make happiness our mindset.

2. Letting go of yesterday.

We can only look at our past as a lesson and our story of who we have become. However, we should not let it ruin our tomorrows, our futures, the days we have yet to live because those days will become new stories.

3. The wrong choices.

Regretting what has happened, or the wrong choices we have made can be what leads to where we are supposed to be.

4. When God says "no"

Sometimes the heartbreak or the rejection of an opportunity was saving us from something much worse. God's plan does not align up with our own, which is for a good reason. Often times we do not know what is best for us, but He does.

5. Being redirected

Our failures and rejections are redirecting us in the right direction, and we will one day be able to look back and see the bigger picture.

6. Where do you want to be tomorrow?

If you have any idea of where you want to go, who you want to be, or what you want to do, is how you are currently living bringing you closer to that?

7. Discipline

Sometimes we have to do what is necessary even if it is unwanted. We cannot always do everything we want, sometimes there are responsibilities we have to take care of.

8. Making necessary changes

If we keep doing the same things or making the same choices, we will continue to receive the same outcome. If we do not like the outcomes we have to make different choices.

9. Be stubborn

Keep your goals, they are valid to who you are, but if something is not working out or not helping you reach that goal, then the method may need to change.

10. In the end, all we can do is try again

At the end of the day, through all of our failures, all we can really do is try again. We may have to change how we try again, but as long as we never stop trying. Life is a constant battle of picking which battles to fight, and which to let go, and where to place all our efforts. There is a reason we are where we are. The motivation may not always be there, but with discipline and dedication, we can make it to our goals!
