It is impossible to be motivated all the time, we all have a little something to go to in times of need. It can be a friend who motivates you, a parent who guides you, some songs, Ted talks and so on. 

I refer to quotes to give me the most needed energy boost at times. Some quotes have the deepest depth and value if we really get around to it. So in this week's post, let's dive into some of my most favorite quotes of all time.
