When Inspiration Runs Dry #1

Hola! Today I woke up and realized I didn't write a blog post last night for today (I've been writing my posts in advance to avoid being in the situation of not having a post ready to go up). So, I sat down and looked at my list of ideas, but I didn't feel like writing about any of them, so I decided to share with you guys my top three favorite inspirational quotes since I'm lacking inspiration and maybe some of you are.

I haven't failed. I've just found 40,00 ways that won't work. - Thomas Edison

This one is one of my favorites because it's saying that when things don't work out your way, you haven't failed, you have just learned. It's like the saying "you learn from your own mistakes". When you fail on a test, you (hopefully) decide to study more for the next test. When you smash your toe on the leg of a table, you learn to be more careful. You get the point. This quote can also apply to bad experiences in your life. You learn from those bad experiences and it can make other bad experiences easier or it can make it so you can avoid being in bad situations. 

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. -Les Brown


I like this one because it's saying that you should go after your biggest dreams. Along the way you'll experience new things, so if your dreams don't come true, you will have improved your life. This one can apply to my situation with this blog. I'm shooting for a big goal. If I don't achieve that goal, I will have new experiences to take out of it, so blogging for the period that I was able to do was so worth it. Hopefully I'll reach the moon with this goal though!!

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. -Jim Rohn


This quote is the one I keep thinking about because of my blog. It's been a challenge blogging every day(even though I'm only on day eleven), but keeping myself motivated will turn this into something easy for me to do everyday and who knows, I could end up blogging everyday throughout 2016 and the years following. I feel like this quote applies when you start school in the fall. The first week I usually struggle so hard because I don't want to be there, but as the school year goes on, I get use to waking up at the butt crack of dawn to sit in class for seven hours.


Those are a few of my favorite inspirational quotes. I'm thinking about making this into a series where I share some quotes to keep me and you guys motivated to reach our goals. Tell me in the comments what your favorite quotes are!

  1. Thomas Edison's is definitely my favorite. It shows that even when you think you've failed you haven't really failed at all.
