I recently cut loose from a well-established 9-5 job at a company I worked at for 18+ years.

It's not been easy staying motivated.

Especially when my goal is to reinvent myself into something better (but I'm still figuring out what that is).

But when I feel like giving up, I revisit these 5 inspirational quotes to help me push through this negativity.

#1: A Year From Now You'll Look Back At Your Life And Say 'You Did It!'

Take action and do something TODAY that leads you to this new, better version of yourself so that in a year's time, your future self will thank you. Do nothing, and you stay the same or go backward. The choice is yours.

#2: Life Is The Most Difficult Exam

Most people fail because they try to copy others, not realising that everyone has a different question paper.

Have the courage to make your own path in life.

#3: Do One Small Thing To Make Today Better Than Yesterday

Small daily improvements over time will lead to stunning results.
