We have entered a new week! And while many of us are grateful and consider the new week a blessing, some of us can be feeling quite (read: very) demotivated.  Which is probably why  you’re reading this in the first place. You might be reading this whilst still in bed, thinking why on earth you would leave your comfortable nest, get up and get to work?

So here are 14 quotes by some people who have quite the experience in putting in the work and who can possibly motivate you to get up and grind!

1. “There’s no magic to achievement. It’s really about hard work, choices and persistence.” – Michelle Obama
2. “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” – Babe Ruth
