\"Quotes<\/a><\/p>\n

Let’s be honest–there are days when you just don’t want to do what you know you’re supposed to be doing (and days when you have no idea what<\/em> you’re supposed to be doing). This page contains quotes that have motivated me to get up, buck up, and “cowgirl up” when needed.<\/p>\n

Have a quote that works for you that isn’t here? Please let me know those (complete with the author) so that MIP readers can benefit from them, too. I would love for this page to get so long that I have to start categorizing these quotes onto several web pages! And many thanks to my FB friends who supplied several of the quotes down below.<\/p>\n
