Sometimes I wake up in the morning ready to knock down every door and take out any to-do list. I'm energized and on my A-game.

Well, today was not that day. Rather than get up out of bed on the wrong side, I rolled back over and hit the snooze button ten more times in an attempt to get up on the right side of the bed. The next thing I knew, it was 11 a.m. and I had yet to take the dog out or go on that morning walk I've been promising myself for the past month. I did my morning routine and got on Pinterest. I saw a quote that changed my day and hopefully my week!

"Wake up an hour earlier to live an hour longer."

Simple, but full of impact. With that, I leave you with these 12 quotes that will inspire you to get on your grind and exercise your mind!

1. "Be so good they can't ignore you." - Steve Martin

Not sure who actually said this first, but it's a good reminder. I have to come back to this one multiple times a day, sometimes.)

4. "Throw me to the wolves and I will come back leading the pack." - Lisa Vanderpump

5. "Roll with the punches." - Unknown

6. "I used to hope that you'd bring me flowers. Now I plant my own." - Rachel Wolchin
