We all feel stuck sometimes. When I feel a little lost, stuck in life, or just a little down on myself, I take to Pinterest and scroll through a quote board. Sometimes it's just comforting to read the words of someone wiser than myself.
Here are a few of my favorite inspirational, motivational, or simply thought-provoking quotes:
1. "If you don't go after what you want, you’ll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer will always be no. If you don't step forward, you're always going to be in the same place." - Nora Roberts

Beautiful people don't just happen." - Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
