To keep all of you (and myself) motivated to stay strong through the end of the week, I bring you Thursday Thoughts! Inspiring quotes are so important to stay focused and keep perspective. Today's thought is focused on motivation, specifically confidence. Being honest here: launching a career in a field with little work-related experience is terrifying. The biggest barrier I face everyday is myself, and believing that I can do this.

So for all of you hitting a road block this week, remember half the battle is believing in yourself. Never underestimate the power of positive thinking!

How do you stay motivated when you feel faced with an obstacle?
