Is anyone else just exhausted with the world right now? I’m not going to get political because ugh my heart is just not hearing it right now and I think that you can already find those kinds of words on literally every corner of the internet right now.

But if you are running low on motivation and momentum and just need to hear something to pick you back up again so you can log onto Facebook without hurting somebody, keep scrolling. I’ve often found that many of the first ladies of our country’s history are the real rock stars in the White House.

I’ve found myself turning to them a lot these past few months – they are a wellspring of motivation and as I dug into the internet this morning I found loads of amazing quotes from First Ladies over the years. Here are some of my favorites:

Michelle Obama

To get yourself off the floor and moving forward.

Eleanor Roosevelt

For when you are feeling down on yourself or feeling the need to defend your opinions.

Martha Washington

For when you can’t seem to find that happy anywhere!

Abigail Adams

When you find yourself in discussion with people you don’t agree with.

Laura Bush

Because we are more united than the Media wants us to believe.

Rosalynn Carter

For when you want to know what you can do to make a difference.
