I love quotes. They're like little nuggets of wisdom that give you the answer for any doubts, fears, or questions you might be having at a given time. Sometimes, I may even come across a quote that I've known for years but today it means something different. Or today, I know it to be true rather than just believe it to be true. That's why I thought I'd share some of the quotes that keep me focused and motivated. These are the words that I turn to when I need that pick-me-up or even just a refresher on how to look at life.
Whenever a new semester is about to start:
"It's easier to keep up than to catch up." - Gretchen Rubin

When I'm unsure about what to do next:
"As you start to walk out on the way, the way appears." - Rumi
When the critical voice in my head gets overpowering:

When everything feels like too much:

When morale is low:

When I didn't finish the things on my to-do list:
"People overestimate what they can do in a single day. And underestimate what they can do in their whole lives." - Unknown
When I need to think positively:
"The more one meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be one's world and the world at large." - Confucius
