On days when I need a proper pick-me-up from someone other than my mom, I visit my lovely little town in Animal Crossing, full of adorable virtual animals who show me nothing less than unconditional love. I mean, who wouldn't want to be showered with compliments by a cute beagle named Bones?

Usually after booting up the game, I like to check in with my animal villagers to make sure they're all doing ok, and that all of their needs are met. It's during these short conversations that they'll share a nugget of motivation in the form of a simple, yet insightful quote that makes me feel good and fuzzy feelings.
