Going through something?
Same.
I mean aren’t we all? I think this is a must-have as you navigate adulthood and this crazy world we live in.
But you know what helps me? Reading some positive words.
No, this is not one of those posts preaching toxic positivity.
But…there is something to be said about the power of positive words. Especially in those moments when you feel overwhelmed, lost or like you just have no idea what to do anymore.
In those moments, these words can give you even a teeny tiny bit of hope or comfort.
They might not solve your problems but they can help you feel okay at the very least. Even if just for a few seconds.
Sometimes that’s all you need.
So here are 51 positive quotes about life that I collected. I hope they give you even a little bit of comfort and strength during the hard times like they have for me.
