Today’s quotes don’t fall under any specific type of category, but given the struggles I often find myself having up in my head, I looked for motivational quotes to help keep myself going when that happens…

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” (Dolly Parton)

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” (Winston Churchill)

“Everything that you are going through is preparing you for what you’ve asked for.” (Unknown)

“Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.” (Joshua J. Marine)

Today’s quotes surround the subject of asking for help and the humility that often brings for people…

“By asking for help, it’s not that you’re weak, it’s not that you’re anything like that, it’s just allowing somebody else to give their gift.” (Marleau Holden)

“Humble people ask for help.” (Joyce Meyer)

“I’m courageous enough to know I can accomplish great things. I’m humble enough to know when to ask for help.” (Katrina Mayer)

“The strong individual is one who asks for help when he needs it.” (Rona Barrett)

“Be strong enough to stand alone, smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.” (Ziad K. Abdelnour)

Today’s bunch of quotes came from the latest issue I received of Guideposts magazine, a number of which I found inspiring that I wanted to share with all of you…

“Your finest moments aren’t necessarily those you finish first, but when you know you gave it your best, when you did it heart and soul, and held nothing back.” (Michelle Kwan)

“We want God to be like FedEx and deliver overnight. But some miracles take time. Things don’t happen on our time. They happen in GPT – God’s Perfect Timing. Keep trusting, praying, hoping, and believing.” (Jon Gordon)

“Life may not give us do-overs, but it always gives us opportunities for do-betters.” (Jan Weeks)

“There’s a beautiful Buddhist proverb I love so much: ‘We should tend to the area of the garden we can reach…” Of course, one person can’t solve all the world’s problems. But what all of us can do is whittle it down to the areas where we can enact change.” (Shelly Tygielski)
