Motivational quotes are more powerful than most people think. Whenever I’m having a really rough day or I’m feeling extremely uninspired, I turn to motivational quotes.
There’s something about reading them that really sparks something in me to get up and continue on. Over the years, I’ve found some quotes that I absolutely love and I feel like these can shine a little bit of light on any gloomy day.
I know what it’s like to have such a bad day and not know how to get that spark of motivation back. It can seem to suck the life out of you. By sharing these quotes, I hope to help anybody who is having a hard day to get that spark back.
I encourage you to grab a notebook and write any of these motivational quotes down that speak to you. Then, make it a regular routine to write one or two quotes down whenever you see a good one. This way you can open your notebook and read them whenever you need a boost of motivation.

Normally, I would go with #11 too but your #15 βChallenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.β is a quote that I had never seen before and it fits me to a T π
1 & 10 for sure. Fighting mental health is a daily battle. I never stop believing so I am always halfway there ππ

These are some wonderful quotes – my favourite is number 12! Pinned for later as I think it’s always handy to come back to these if you’re having a tough day. Thanks for sharing π x
9 is spot on Amanda. Bloggers and most folks always seem to search for motivation but it is about looking within for a freeing intent, not outside to motivation, to develop the persistence, patience and commitment that leads to developing new habits.
