Every day is not all sunshine and rainbows. Some days, I just want to stay in bed, mope a little bit and watch some movies.
Other days, I’m ready to take the world by the reins and "carpe diem", or seize the day. Either way, sometimes, life can be a bit unpredictable.
We don’t know what obstacles or unforeseen circumstances that can and will slap us in the face, whether it be external or internal.
I have constructed a list of my favorite quotes by some of my favorite motivational speakers, singers, as well as some quotes from the bible that have gotten me through my toughest days.
I hope these words of encouragement and enlightenment inspire you to make the most of your seemingly desolate situations.
