In my post, 8 Habits to Help You Make the Most of Your Life, I shared 8 habits that would help make your life more meaningful and enjoyable. Today I want to provide you a little inspiration through some motivational quotes and affirmations.

Sometimes we need to hear the right words to encourage us to keep pursuing our best life.

That’s when I pull out my quotes and affirmations.

I hope these motivational quotes and affirmations can help you too. If you find one that really speaks to you, write it on a post-it note or in your journal to remind you every day.
