20 QUOTES THAT WILL GET YOU FIRED UP by Mr. Chukwuka Augustine [SGB Writer]

There are times in life when you don’t even know what you are doing anymore, when the burden becomes heavier than the desire to live and deliver, when the day becomes gloomy and the nights empty, those moments when it seems like you have been handed a tougher test than you could ever handle.

One of the many remedies comes from the words of individuals that have been through similar situations before. Here are 20 quotes from individuals that have played the game of life and won (or are still winning). Their words are worth heeding to and their life stories are worth learning from.
