Do not fret, friends! Finals week may be terrible and difficult, but hold on for just a few more weeks. Inspirational quotes are super effective at motivating me, so I thought I'd share a couple of my favorites with you.
"Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground." Theodore Roosevelt
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." James 1:2-4
"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better." Samuel Beckett
"Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence." Hellen Keller
"What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals." Henry David Thoreau
"You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream." C.S. Lewis
"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22-23
"You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand." Woodrow Wilson
"Do not wait; the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along." George Herbert
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
"Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing." Thomas Jefferson
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6
"I think people who are creative are the luckiest people on earth. I know that there are no shortcuts, but you must keep your faith in something Greater than You, and keep doing what you love. Do what you love, and you will find the way to get it out to the world." Judy Collins
Good luck on finals everybody!
