3 Quotes That Will Get You Motivated

1. "Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day."

― Paulo Coelho, Brida

This quote is so true because something broken can be useful and help you even if you do not expect it. Just because a certain situation seems like it isn’t working out right now, doesn’t mean that it will never benefit you!

Even if you feel like your goal is going to fail, you should chase it because at least one good thing will come out of it.

2. "The only way to do great work is to love what you do."

—Steve Jobs

As long as you love what you are doing you will stay motivated and always try to reach higher. This doesn’t only apply to a job since it can also relate to school. If you dislike a certain class, you might not do as well. However, once you keep moving forward, the class only really lasts for so much longer.

I’m not saying that you need to like all of your jobs or classes, but try to look for the positive in your situation.

3. "The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step."

—Lao Tzu

We all have that one goal we wish to accomplish. This goal can be a variety of different things like going to a certain college, making the art show, or winning the championships for your team. No matter how big or small your goal is, the only way to achieve it is to start it! Go apply to that college, enter your art for the big show, and work hard with your team.

However, after you take that step your outcome may be a little different from what you expected. You might be going to a different college, but you also might have more opportunities there. A situation you may see as bad at first, can turn into something better later.
