30 Inspiring Quotes For When You Feel Like You've Hit Rock-Bottom
Thismyhousedecorz

Sometimes we go through an entire day where everything that can possibly go wrong, well, goes wrong. Sometimes it's a month-long unluckiness streak. Maybe even an entire year of feeling like you just can't win. Trust me, I know the feeling all too well. One thing I look to when I feel like my world is crumbling at the palms of my hands are inspirational quotes. Sure, some of them may be cheesy, but trust me, they do give you a better outlook on life when all you want to do is lock yourself in your room and hibernate to avoid more defeat. Below, I've listed 30 quotes that I think have the ability to lift someone up from feeling like they've hit a low point and give them the strength to carry on and love their life again.

  1. “You only fail when you stop trying.”
  2. “Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place.”
  3. “One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.”
  4. “The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.”
  5. “If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door.”
  6. “The greater your storm the brighter your rainbow.”
  7. “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
  8. “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.”
  9. “A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.”
  10. “Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will!”
  11. “Everything is going to be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, it’s not the end.”
  12. “Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.”
  13. “Failure is the opportunity to being again more intelligently.”
  14. “Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.”
  15. “Your life only gets better when you do. Work on yourself and the rest will follow.”
  16. “It might take a year, it might take a day, but what’s meant to be will always find it’s way.”
  17. “Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than you ever imagined.”
  18. “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”
  19. “Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”
  20. “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way.”
  21. “Don’t be afraid to start over. It’s brand new opportunity to rebuild what you truly want.”
  22. “Broken crayons still color.”
  23. “Every flower must grow through dirt.”
  24. “Don’t give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.”
  25. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
  26. “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”
  27. “Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”
  28. “Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.”
  29. “Success is not a straight line.”
  30. “Fall seven times, stand up eight.”

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
