I'm a sucker for a good quote. Some of these might sound clique but the more people say them, the more I believe them. In my life these have been the ones that I have held on to and when times get tough or I start to question myself, I read them again and again.
I think you can learn a lot about a person from the words that speak to them.
1. There's no monster, just a beautiful day.
This is my all time favorite quote. It is from the greatest book I have ever read, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. It means that all your fear is just in your head, when in reality everything is okay. It's just another simple day.
2. You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I promise you, something great will come of it.
- Benjamin Mee, We Bought a Zoo
3. Just when you don't think you can take it anymore, take it a little more.
4. God makes no mistakes.
- Genesis 18:1-33
5. This too shall pass.
6. 5 by 5 rule: if it won't matter in 5 years, don't spend more than 5 minutes upset about it.
7. You're doing a lot better than you think you're doing.
8. You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.
9. Tough times don't last, tough people do.
10. Sometimes you have to forget what you want and remember what you deserve.
11. It's okay not to be okay.
12. If it costs you your peace, it's too expensive.
13. Not today.
This is something I say to myself frequently. Not today. "I'm not going to give up today." It's easier to take it one day at a time.
14. Do one thing every day that scares you.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
15. If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
- Anthony Robbins

17. Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay, it's not the end.
- John Lennon
18. You have to die a few times, till you can really live.

23. Feelings are neither right nor wrong, they just are.
24. It's all in how you look at it.
Everything in life is your perspective. Two people can be in the same situation but have too totally different reactions. Think positive because you are in control of your happiness.
25. I'd rather regret the things I have done than wonder what could have been.
26. You are enough.
27. Someday this pain will be useful.
- Ovid
