10 Of My Favorite Inspirational and Motivational Quotes About Life

by Jenn

There is nothing like Inspirational and Motivational Quotes about life to help you through the hard times.  I don’t know about you but when I feeling down I often search for inspirational quotes about life that remind me to look at the brighter side of things, or remind me that there is something good that comes from everything.  Without the bad times there would be no good times.  Seriously, how would we know what the good times felt like without feeling the opposite?  In my option we wouldn’t, there would be no success without struggles, we wouldn’t feel the good, without knowing what the bad felt like.  Maybe it’s crazy talk, but that’s how I see it.  I know what the good in life feels like because I have battled my past, overcome a difficult time, I know what winning feel like because I have lost, I know what love feels like because I have been hurt, I know what success feels like because I have worked hard.

Inspirational and Motivational Quotes - Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away

I think Oprah nailed it when she said, “I know for sure that what we dwell on is who we become.”  It’s hard, but sometimes we have to pick ourselves up before we get stuck in a world filled with negativity.  Which is why I love motivational quotes about life, it’s my way of reminding myself what I need to do in order to stay positive.

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.” – Aristotle

Why are inspirational quotes so powerful?  They’re only words right?  Yes, but they are also words that express what you feel in your heart, word that might help you realize you’re not alone, or words that helps you see there is a purpose for everything that comes to us – good and bad.  They always remind me that every bad time is an opportunity for me to learn and grow.

It’s always amazed me how much just a few words can change your life, but they can if you let them.  Here are a few Inspirational and Motivational Quotes that I love…

Always be youself, unless you can be a unicorn. Thank always be a unicorn." - Unknown

And, you know me I always have to finish up with something funny!  I found this funny quote while I was searching Google one day.  I thought I would save it for the perfect post, and well this is the perfect post!  All this seriousness going on, I had to lighten the mood with this super cute quote. “Always be youself, unless you can be a unicorn.  Thank always be a unicorn.” – Unknown..

I hope you enjoy these quotes as much as I do…

There are tons of wonderful quotes out there and I can’t get enough of it. WE can’t get enough of it. It’s always good to keep some quotes memorized and imprinted on your mind and that you follow by heart. Sort of like you should have at least one joke memorized, a story, a wonderful memory, something about you that people don’t know — all these you should have handy with you. :)

My favorite is something I needed to read today Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming what you thought you couldn’t do. Since being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia I am learning to do things differently.

So I just love the articles and pages you share with inspirational quotes. Some I have used my whole life. Especially how sometimes it’s a blessing you don’t get what you want. I love that can admit and be honest on here and acknowledge we all have down days
