With every year of life that goes by, the summer season seems to get shorter and shorter. I know that’s not the case, but it sure feels like it’s true. Maybe it’s because we are packing more activity into those 90 days than ever before. It also might be that we tend to accomplish a lot in the summer while the longer days also allow for more personal time outdoors and doing things that we enjoy.
As the long days fade and the year starts drawing to a close, it can be easy to lose some of your momentum. Yet, there is still a lot that can be accomplished during this time of year – personally and professionally. Here are a few inspirational quotes to keep the fire you built during the summer until winter arrives.
