In keeping with my goal of trying to #InspireYourSummer – here are five quotes to make you think, to motivate you to do great work, and to help you remember what summer is supposed to be! I hope you find something here that will truly Motivate Your Summer!
Every month I like to choose a few quotes and personalize them a little bit. I usually rotate them as the background on my computer and my phone. Whenever it’s time to get to work or I go to unlock my phone, it’s like a little shot of inspiration. This summer I’m concentrating on relaxing, reading and learning how to work better, so I created some graphics to reflect that.
Are you making time for your important things this summer?
