We all have times when it seems as if we’re failing at everything. Businesses have peaks and valleys, marriages have troubles, and if you have kids, they bring another set of issues to the table. It’s easy to feel like you’ve been run over by the freight train called Life. Obviously, giving up is not an option – and since wishing away your problems doesn’t work, you’ll just have to start from the beginning again. So you keep going.
Easier said than done.
Sometimes a little bit of inspiration is all that’s needed to get back to that you-can-do-it feeling. Instead of the regular blog post this week, I thought I’d share some of our favorite inspirational quotes so you can look back on them the next time you’re having a crappy day. Select the one you find most useful and pick yourself up by the bootstraps and keep going. You can do this! (And when things get really hectic, get help.)
