Motivation Monday: One Tree Hill edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tampa chapter.

 

“I Don’t Want to Be” by Gavin DeGraw will never be just a song. It will forever be the gateway to Tree Hill, a “place where everything is better and everything’s safe”. Start your Monday off right with a little motivation from the cast we all miss the most. Don’t say I never gave you anything.

 

 

 

“There’s no shame in being afraid. Hell, we’re all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you’re afraid of because when you put a face on it, you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.” Coach Whitey Durham

 

 

“You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate or bad luck or bad choices. Or you can fight back. Things aren’t always going to be fair in the real world. That’s just the way it is. But for the most part, you get what you give. The rest of your life is being shaped right now. With the dreams you chase, the choices you make, and the person you decide to be. The rest of your life is a long time. And the rest of your life starts right now.” Haley James-Scott

 

 

 

“Happiness comes in many forms-in the company of good friends, in the feeling you get when you make someone else’s dream come true, or in the promise of hope renewed. It’s okay to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness might be.” Lucas Scott

 

“It’s the oldest story in the world. One day you’re 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life.” Nathan Scott

 

“Life kicks you around sometimes. It scares you and it beats you up. But, there’s a day when you realize that you’re not just a survivor, you’re a warrior. You’re tougher than anything life throws your way.” Brooke Davis

 

“Sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you were meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.” Marvin ‘Mouth’ McFadden

 

“You have one chance, one life. And what you do with it is up to you.” Peyton Sawyer
