7 Quotes For When You Need Inspiration

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

It’s April. We’re breaching upon the end of the semester, and for those of you who are graduating soon, we’re coming very close to the end. Maybe it’s the weather that never seems to get warmer, maybe it’s the looming thought of entering the real world, but lately, I have been feeling a complete lack of inspiration.

What is one to do in this dire time of need? Scroll through endless quotes to help spark some light back up of course. Here’s a list of quotes to help you (and me) find some sort of inspiration to finish out the semester strong.

Opportunity does not knock, it presents itself when you beat down the door

– Kyle Chandler

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.

Confucious

Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are right.

– Henry Ford

There are no limits to what you can accomplish, except the limits you place on your own thinking.

– Brian Tracy 

You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something–your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

Steve Jobs

A goal is not always meant to be reached; it often serves simply as something to aim at.

– Bruce Lee

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it is always your choice.

– Wayne Dyer 

Take these quotes as you wish. Write them down in your notes. On your mirror. Know that they are sources of guidance in times of need. Success is not final and failure is not forever. Life and success are as you make it. So make them as you wish.
