There are two types of people—those who see Thursday as being one day away from the weekend and those who see it as being three days away from yet another Monday. Or maybe you fall under neither of these categories and see Thursday as just that, Thursday. 

Still, sometimes you just need a happy Thursday pick-me-up because the trains are running late, your favorite coffee shop is closed, or you’re just really not looking forward to the meeting with Alex from finance, where he ruins all good plans citing a “budget crunch.”

That’s where Thursday motivational quotes for work come in. They are the ray of sunshine you need to get through those stormy meetings and come out winning—a friendly reminder that you’re awesome. You can do it. And this, too, shall pass.
