Here are 15 quotes to help you face the uncertainty the next half of the year brings with it and pass through it with flying colors. Fill your journal and/or planners with these words of inspiration. They may seem corny (especially the format of some) but the statements still hold a lot of wisdom and might just be exactly what you need to hear. 

With excerpts from ‘The Little Prince’, ‘Anne with an E’, ‘Haikyu!!’, along with inspiring pieces from the likes of Aristotle and Muhammad Ali, hopefully you’ll be able to connect to at least one from the list.

First and foremost, congratulations! You made it through the first half, don’t forget all the things you’ve learned and felt. Before you tackle tomorrow, be thankful for yesterday.
