Whenever I need a spark of inspiration or a reminder that whatever situation I am facing now will turn out OK in the end, I look toward Disney because there are so many valuable life lessons embedded into every story. Disney gives me hope and brings me happiness because I keep many of the quotes on strength, love, happiness, and life found in these stories in my heart and I try my best to live by them. Here are just a few of my favorite Disney quotes that I believe we should all live by. Be sure to check out Part 1 for more inspiration.
