The start of a new week can feel like a blank page – full of possibilities, but sometimes daunting. And as the day unfold, it’s easy to lose steam. But what if a little dose of inspiration could help you seize those possibilities and maintain your drive? I believe it can. That’s why I’ve gathered seven potent quotes intended to not only jumpstart your week with renewed purpose but also keep you feeling inspired and on track every step of the way.
Monday
“Trust yourself. Create the kind of life you’ll be happy to live with all your life.”
– Golda Meir
Monday, a quote to remind you that you are in control. You control two huge things in your life; your attitude and your perception. Use them to take each day of the week a day at a time. By the actions you take today you are crafting your week and by extension your life. You are the creator.
Tuesday
“Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”
– A. A. Milne
Tuesday, a quote to remind you to believe in yourself. The noise of life gets loud and the belief in yourself can waver. It is easy to get nervous, stressed, or overwhelmed by the tasks of the day and week. But you can choose to continue to believe in yourself and what you can do. You are louder and more glittery than the noise around you.
Wednesday
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Wednesday, a quote to remind you to be present. You are being called to believe in yourself. Halfway through the week it is easy to get wrapped up (or swept away) by everything that is going on around you. What lies within you is what is most important.
Thursday
“You can’t hate yourself into change.”
– Brené Brown
Thursday, a quote to remind you to love yourself. Everyone has made mistakes and everyone is capable of change. Sustained change and growth comes from a place of self-love. No amount of self-hatred is going to make you better at that skill you wish you had. No amount of self-punishment is going to get those long awaited tasks completed. But you can.
Friday
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friday, a quote to remind you of perspective. All around you are people and things telling you what you should or shouldn’t be. To stay on your own road and keep waving your weirdo flag you are defying the odds. By remaining just who you are you are going against the grain and displaying a huge amount of self-love and self-respect.
Saturday
“You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress.”
– Sophia Bush
Saturday, a quote to remind of acceptance. You are a grand masterpiece already just as you are. You are also a work in progress. You are perfectly imperfect and that is what life is all about. To be changing constantly and growing in all directions. Life is about growing and changing; it is also about accepting where you are right now – as is.
Sunday
“Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.”
– Carrie Fisher
Sunday, a quote to remind you of courage. The impression is made that we have to be that confident embodiment before we can actually be or do something. But isn’t true. Before starting the next week ahead and while looking back on the week that is ending remember all those people you read about that took that courage and ran with an idea or an action and succeeded! You can do that too.
