“Happy Friday! May your coffee be strong and your Friday be short.” – Unknown
Welcome to Friday, the day we all look forward to at work. Today, you can have a strong coffee and enjoy a short work day.
“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.” – Dalai Lama
This quote seems simple enough, but much like the famous adage “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,” this one is true because it’s so obvious that we forget about it. We all want to be happy, but we don’t always realize how easy it can be when we stop worrying about what other people think and focus on our own happiness instead. Learn to be happy with what you have instead of always looking for something better—and don’t compare yourself to others!
“Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning how to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene
This quote is meant to remind us that life is not always going to be sunshine and roses. Sometimes you will face challenges, and sometimes you may even feel like you’re drowning in a sea of problems. But no matter what happens, you can learn from these experiences and come out stronger on the other side. Don’t wait until it’s over; use these challenges as opportunities to grow and develop yourself into someone who can handle whatever comes their way. You’ll be surprised by how much better things feel after all is said and done!
“It is only in our darkest hours that we may discover the true strength of the brilliant light within ourselves that can never, ever, be dimmed.” – Doe Zantamata
In the darkest of times, we can find strength. We can rise above our challenges, and in doing so, find the light within ourselves that will never dim. This is a great quote for anyone who has hit a difficult time in their life or career. You can use this quote to motivate yourself to keep going when things get tough, or share it with someone who might need some encouragement!
“Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.” – H. Jackson Brown Jr.
H. Jackson Brown Jr. is a writer and motivational speaker who has written over 30 books on life and self-improvement, including Life’s Little Instruction Book (1983) and Life’s Lessons Learned: What We Can Learn from Our Mistakes (1999). This quote reflects the themes of many of his books: that it’s important to be happy with yourself and not compare yourself to anyone else, no matter how successful they are. He says that this is because “life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.”
“You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.” -Charles Buxton
Have you ever found yourself wishing that you had more time to do the things you love? Maybe it’s playing with your kids, or going on a hike, or writing that novel. The problem is, we all want more hours in the day—but no one can give them to us. The trick is to make time for what matters. It’s not about adding more hours; it’s about being willing to make sacrifices so that you can spend your limited time doing what matters most.
“Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
If you’re reading this and you have a dream of doing something in particular with your life, don’t let anyone discourage you from pursuing it. Whatever your passion may be—whether it be sports or music or writing—find a way to excel at it.
“Nothing will work unless you do.” – Maya Angelou
I love this quote because it reminds me that we have the power to change our lives. If you want something to happen, you have to make it happen. Nothing will work unless you do. I like that Angelou was so straightforward with her message: there’s no room for excuses or procrastination here. It’s up to you!
“No pressure, no diamonds.” – Thomas Carlyle
This quote is a great reminder that if you don’t push yourself and challenge your comfort zone, you’ll never achieve anything in life. This is true whether you’re an entrepreneur or just someone who wants to get out of their routine to try something new!
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
The best thing about this quote is that it reminds us of the importance of doing what you love, which is all too easy to forget. We live in a culture that puts so much emphasis on getting a good job and making money, but if those things aren’t authentic for you, then they won’t bring you joy. It’s better to have a job that fulfills your creative side than one that doesn’t challenge or make use of your skillset.
“Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.” -George Herbert
I’m a big believer in starting now. If you’re waiting for something to happen before you get started, I encourage you to start anyway! Because it’s likely that what needs to happen is already happening—and if it isn’t happening yet, who knows how long it’ll be before it does?
“God will never take anything away from you without replacing it with something better.”
This is a wonderful quote from author, speaker Anne Dailey. It’s also one that I live by. The idea behind it is simple: no matter what you’re going through in life, God will never take anything away from you without replacing it with something better.
“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” -Steve Jobs”
If you’re not loving what you’re doing, then don’t expect that project or company to succeed. If you want to make something great, it has to start with your passion for what’s being created.
“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” -Oscar Wilde
When you live your life as the best version of yourself, you’ll find that even more people want to be around you. This quote reminds us that there’s only room for one person at the top and that person is YOU!
“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” -Wayne Gretzky
If you’re not willing to risk anything, you risk even more. -Erica Jong
If you’ve ever felt as though your life was full of stupid people, this quote is for you. It’s also a great reminder that no matter how bad you feel or how down on yourself you think you are, there will always be someone out there who makes it look easy to be stupid.
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me?” -Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
This quote is a great reminder of your potential and the power you have within you. It also shows that anything is possible if you just take the leap and do what needs to be done! All obstacles will crumble before your will.
