Who else loves scrolling through Pinterest or Instagram and reading all the motivational quotes other people have posted? Well, we definitely do! We love the idea of strangers on the Internet all uniting and inspiring each other to continue growing and reaching for their dreams. We especially appreciate it at the beginning of the year, when we're so tempted to break our New Year's resolutions! And so, we decided to hold a contest on Instagram where each participant shared their favourite quotes with us for a chance to win vouchers worth RM50, and as a bag organizer so they could start the year off right: being inspired, organized and productive!

Let me tell you, we had such a great time reading the quotes everyone shared with us, and we enjoyed the stories behind them even more! One of the prizes was also a feature on our blog, so read on for the two most voted quotes:

"Hard work is another word of miracle" submitted by @najiha_nurfatin. We couldn't agree more! A lot of people only see the success that came after all the hard work and sleepless nights we had to put in, but we have to remember: nothing comes easy, and if you put enough effort into it, you'll always have results.

The second winner was @nursyaaaaaaaaaa. She submitted this quote: "When you think positive, good things happen." This is so true! Often the only thing holding us back from achieving our goals is a negative and fearful mindset. Get rid of your reservations or doubts and just go for it!

Follow them on Instagram, they're such awesome and inspirational people! We hope you guys enjoyed this contest and that you're motivated for 2018! Until next time, stay inspired!
