While motivational quotes aren’t a substitute for actual work, they always give me that little spark of hope I need to move forward. With the spring weather warming my soul, I decided to keep this mood boosted. I put together a list of some of my favorite positive quotes for when I want an extra boost of happiness.

4. “She believed she could, so she did,” (R. S. Grey).
5. “Work hard to achieve your dreams, and don’t let discouragement or mistakes delay you.” (Elaine S. Dalton).
6. “Either I will find a way, or I will make one,” (Philip Sidney).
7. “No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings,” (William Blake).
8. “I’d rather attempt to do something great and fail than to attempt to do nothing and succeed,” (Robert H. Schuller).
9. I can and I will.
10. “Even if you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward,” (Victor Kiam).
11. “One finds limits by pushing them,” (Herbert A. Simon).
12. “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence,” (Helen Keller).
13. “You must love yourself internally to glow externally,” (Hannah Bronfman).
14. “Keep your face to the sunshine, and you cannot see a shadow,” (Helen Keller).
15. “Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life,” (Omar Khayyam).
This last quote is one of my favorites. I get so caught up in planning for the future, that I forget how amazing the present is. Happiness isn’t a plan to be achieved in the future. You can choose to be happy right now in this moment.
Take a moment right now to examine yourself. Examine your mood, your worries, and then bring it back to the present. List five things smell, taste, see, hear, or touch in this moment. Next, list five things you’re grateful for.
Moving forward, remember to come back to the present moment occasionally. Life is meant to be lived in the present, not the past or future.
Make each day better.
Pin it for later!
