5 Spoonfuls Of Motivation

Sometimes all we need is a little motivation to gear us in the right direction. We may not always have a support system. So hopefully as you read this, you can get at least a support that you do got this! Whether it's school related, a job, or anything in general.

Have a spoonful!


1. "In order to succeed, we must first believe that we can" - Nikos Kazantzakis


"I don't know if I can do this. What if something happens?

Many times we doubt ourselves. We lack faith that we can do anything but first is to believe in ourselves. That is so important. If you don't believe in yourself, you are putting yourself into a low self-esteem.

BELIEVE!


2. "It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop" - Confucius

Yes, nobody said the road will be easy. You may come across giant boulders, giant cracks on the road, strong winds, rain and etc. Point is, it is not a race to see who gets where first. Always continue, no matter how slow or fast you may be. You got this!




3. "Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later" - Og Mandino


We tend to give minimum effort just to get by. But you are capable of so much more! How much work you put in now, (go above and beyond), I will pay off in the end. You may not see it, but please trust me, you will! Your harvest will be abundant!



4. " Everybody wants to be a diamond, but many are not willing to get cut."

Truth is, we all need to better ourselves. We all have some nasty things about us that we need to get rid of or they will deter us in life. Whether it is our attitudes or our actions or even physically. So that being said we all want to be a diamond, but we have to undergo these changes, being cut in the right ways to make us much more like a diamond.

Sometimes being cut or molded, hurts because it is not something we are used. We can be made fun of. But in the end, you will become something great. Just like pearls. Oysters make pearls in response to irritants. Something beautiful always comes out once we go through changes that we need to make.


5. I CAN and I WILL. END OF STORY


There are no better way to say this.

YOU CAN and YOU WILL!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
