5 Spoonfuls Of Motivation
MotivatePlay

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
