April is here again and it’s time for this year’s A to Z Challenge. This year, my theme is motivational quotes. Each 
Monday to Saturday throughout April I will be posting a motivational quote each day starting with the letters A through to Z.
It’s traditional through the challenge to keep posts short and sweet, so that’s what I’ll be doing. Just a quick explanation of why I chose each quote and what it means to me.
Day 6 – F
“Forget wanting it to be easy. Great things are never easy, but they are worth it”
I have to be honest here – it annoys me when people moan that things aren’t easy. Of course they aren’t. Nothing worth having is easy to come by. If it was, everyone would already have it, rendering it worthless.
To achieve great things, you have to be willing to put the work in. That means real work. Time and effort. It probably means pulling a fair few all nighters. It undoubtedly means sacrifice of one kind or another. It means that when you’re having a bad day and all you want to do is pull the duvet over your head and stay in bed, you can’t. You have to get up and get on.
Because when it all comes down to it, if you want something badly enough, only you can go out and get it. Will it be easy? Nope. Will it be worth it? Hell yes.
Are you willing to go the extra mile to achieve great things? What have you had to sacrifice to get to where you are now? Let me know in the comments 🙂
Don’t forget to check back every Monday to Saturday to see the next motivational quote!

Theme: Oh, the places we will go!
Thank you 🙂
Wanting to write full time, not with the intentions of becoming rich but longing for the freedom of setting my own schedule, means living very, very frugally. I expect no sympathy for my choices; living in Honolulu, I receive none, either!
Writing for a living is such an amazing experience. I live pretty frugally anyway, but I actually make more writing than I did in my full time job so I’m sure you’ll end up making more money too!
This is beyond true – it’s very rare that anything worthwhile just falls into your lap. There is always a fair amount of blood, sweat and tears involved in achieving our dreams.

There is, and that’s often part of the reason having it feels so good
What a Fantastic theme! Thanks for sharing these bits of inspiration and positivity.
Thank you 🙂
Nothing worthwhile is easy, right? At least that’s what I’ve always believed.
Exactly!
hell yes, indeed!!! thank you for sharing!
How true! Keep spreading good thoughts. It always is easy to sit comfortably inside the coccoon and not take that one step that can change the course of our life. I believe it is the first step that’s difficult.
The first step is always the hardest, but once you take it, the rest just kind of flow!
Very true.
Nothing is easy. We have to put in the effort. Sacrifice too… But, it’ll be worth it!
Yes, we definitely have to make sacrifices along the way!
So very true. Good things are worth working for!
They totally are!
Makes so much sense. We wouldn’t appreciate any rewards at all if we didn’t have to toil over a lot of rough ground to get them.
That’s true – if everything came easy, everyone would have it and it wouldn’t be worth anything!
I thought that about my last relationship.
I am currently reviewing my stance on the matter… 😉
Haha maybe this one is better suited to career than relationships 😉
Agree completely! What comes easy won’t last long, and what lasts long won’t come easy.
So true!
If it’s not worked for its not earned
Hard work builds esteem and character to make us confident people
Yes! I totally agree
