Life sucks sometimes. Sure, it can be wonderful and exciting, but it also has a way of pummeling us down again and again.

No matter what the world throws at you, don’t give up.

I hope that when you feel defeated, you’ll remember some of the words below.

“Strength grows in the moment you think you can’t go on, but you keep going anyway.” -Karen Salmansohn

“There is nothing in nature that blooms all year round. So don’t expect yourself to do so.” -Unknown

“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.” -F. Scott Fitzgerald.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” -Maya Angelou 

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that don’t work.” -Thomas Edison

I love that quote. The world will tell me to give up over and over again. It is up to me to choose to listen to hope. I will try one more time. Something the world can never do is take away my hope.
