Some days are harder to work through than others. We drag ourselves out of bed, and even caffeine doesn’t seem to light up a spark in us. Still, we have things to do. Next time you’re feeling a slump in motivation or you’re facing down what feels like a mountain of work, get yourself going with one (or more) of these reminders!
-
Make yourself proud. Do well for yourself and no one else.
-
Every mistake, every set back, is a learning process and, moreover, a step forward to your goal.
-
Tell yourself, “Just 10 minutes.” After that initial start, it’ll be much easier to keep going.
-
Half an hour every day adds up to a lot of hours. You can’t help but succeed with that much effort.
-
Studying is the time for mistakes and confusion. Don’t let your insecurities stop you before you’ve even gotten the ball rolling.
-
We have a whole world of knowledge at our fingertips! Find what inspires you. Dream and learn big.
-
Some things aren’t easy, but that just makes the payoff all the more worth it.
-
Support yourself the way you would support a friend: with kindness, loyalty, and certainty in your success.
-
Procrastination just makes a bigger problem in the future out of what is a small task today.
-
Enjoy the process, not just the result.
Whether studying for standardized test prep, hashing out a college essay, or brushing up your resume and interview skills, motivation is a huge part of our success. And why shouldn’t we enjoy it too?! Sometimes we just need a reminder. Wishing you the best motivation, fun, and success!
