I think it’s so easy to get caught up in the harder times, and sometimes they may outweigh the good but taking a deep breath and repeating “This too shall pass..” really helps. You have bad days, you have good days and just knowing that the hard times are going to get better really helps.

Being a college student, I have found one common belief that is dangerously contagious and you can smell it all over campus; the desperation that girls feel- they need a boyfriend to determine their own self value. Through this process, not only do they hurt themselves by being so attached to the male species but also can’t love themselves if they are not in a relationship. So my “inspirational quotation” would be:

“Your worth does not lie in a man.
Your beauty lies WITHIN YOU, inside and out, and all around.
Love yourself more than you can love anyone else because,
YOU ARE WORTHY!”

my current mantra:

We make ourselves miserable or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same.

I’m living by it every day!

I’m late to the party but here are a few of my faves:

“All you have to do is breathe.”
“Be yourself, everyone else is already taken.”
“The hardest decisions have the most satisfying results.”
“When the world says, ‘Give up,’ Hope whispers, ‘Try it one more time.’”

One that I use quite often when I learned from my coworker who regularly does marathons and Ironmans. Shortly before my first race, a 10K, I told her that I wished it was a 5K because I wasn’t sure I was ready for the full distance. She looked at me with a deadpan stare and said “Not with that loser attitude!” It ends up that when she feel that she can’t do a distance, her fiance tells her this and it makes her so mad, she keeps going. And let me tell you, it works! I’ve said this to myself more than a few times– running and in general life. It makes me smile and gives me the pep to keep going.

I once got a fortune in a fortune cookie (weird because I don’t even like fortune cookies) that says “No need to worry, you will always have everything that you need.” It’s taped to my mirror.
