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 think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
