Guys, post anything that motivates you in here. Be it quotes, pictures, or music. Feel free to say why it motivates you.
Hey, it can even be a quote that has meaning to you, a song that pumps you up, or a meaningful picture. Try explaining what it means to you.
Im gonna post things that motivate me frequently.

Look up Richard McCann. He did a motivational speech in my school and basically his mom was murdered, been in and out of jail for taking drugs, and really didn't have a nice childhood. But he turned it around and got his act together. I really can't do his story justice though.

"True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, Nor can it be hidden where it truly does." Okay, that was sort of mushy, but it's true :)

This next one is one of my favourites.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson

SO true. Whenever I feel down, I can read this and be in a better mood instantly.
