10 Motivational Quotes That Will Jump Start Your Day

 Sometimes a little motivation is all you need to get you “pumped-up” for your day, or to get you through your day.  But some people try to discount motivation; however motivation is necessary in order for you to succeed.  I like what Jim Rohn said about motivation, he said, “People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily.”

With that, here’s some motivation for your day!  When you’re done, pass it along to those you want to motivate.
