This year has been one for the books, and with a little less than two months left in it, many people are struggling to hold on. The pandemic has changed just about everything, and if spending months in quarantine wasn’t enough to send anyone over the edge, adding in working from home or even virtual schooling was enough to tip the iceberg. Now more than ever, everyone needs a pep talk or maybe 100 pep talks to push through the last couple of months of the year.

MensHealth.com recently published an article that included some of what they consider to be “The best and most inspiring quotes from some of history’s greatest thinkers.” The list consists of quotes from musicians, business moguls, actors, scientists, even athletes, and the website is calling the compilation of quotes “A 2020 survival guide.”

The list provides something for everyone and is just what the doctor ordered for anyone needing a boost of motivation or confidence to finish the year strong. Write them down on a notepad, post them in different areas of your home, or even share them on social media. You’d be surprised at just how far a few words can go and what difference it can make in a person’s life. Whatever you decide to do, remember, you’ve overcome so much this year, and you have a lot to be proud of.
