100 Best Positive Quotes and Sayings to Keep Your Spirits High

Although being positive is the key aspect of living life, the effect it tends to have, and its vitality are seldom truly acknowledged. Here is a list of the best positive thinking and motivational quotes with meaning to keep you optimistic and hopeful.


Having a positive attitude is greatly important because if we have an optimistic mindset, only then will we be able to make out the best of situations and see the best in other people and things; if we let negativity take over, then things are bound to appear the same, drab and futile.

This is why a positive approach towards things and life, in general, is necessary because only then will we be able to see life for what it really is, and from a fresher perspective.

Besides, positivity also tends to help one in numerous ways by lifting someone's spirits, by helping other people and spreading kindness, by being the knight in the shining armour in times of need, etc., it reminds us of the good in the world, and how we should be contributing to it too.

Here are a hundred positive quotes on life, attitude, inspiration, etc. to help you out, and brighten your day.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results. ~ Willie Nelson 

If you keep thinking negatively and look at the worst in every situation, then the outcome of situations and things are going to be no different than how you perceive them. However, if you take up a positive outlook and change the way you perceive things by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, then the result is bound to be better.

Live life to the fullest and focus on the positive. ~ Matt Cameron 

Always enjoy life to its fullest and live it, and don't merely exist! And one can do this quite effortlessly if they have a positive attitude towards life and other people; the more you concentrate on the good things in life instead of the bad ones, the better you are going to be able to adjust to life and live it without any apprehensions or stresses.

Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose. ~ Lyndon B. Johnson 

Yesterday has already happened, and there is nothing that you can do to undo it or change it, but tomorrow is yet to come, and it would be in your control when it arrives.

Therefore, rather than dwelling over the past, you should prepare yourself for tomorrow and live today, and plan to make your tomorrow better than your yesterday.

A strong, positive self-image is the best possible preparation for success. ~ Joyce Brothers

If you have a strong sense of self, and a positive self-image, then there is nothing and nobody that could stop you from excelling in life.

This is because when you are aware about your true value, there is nothing that people could say to bring you down; your positive attitude is bound to win over your negative thoughts.

Work hard, stay positive, and get up early. It's the best part of the day. ~ George Allen, Sr. 

Put in your honest efforts, invest your time and energy in the right places, work hard, and always stay positive no matter.

Develop a habit of starting your day early and waking up early in the morning, because it is the best part of the day as not only is it calm and quiet and feels peaceful, but it also feels fresh and positive. And it is also an established fact that if you start your day early and productively by meditating or exercising, the rest of your day is more likely to go well, plus it has health benefits too!

It's a wonderful thing to be optimistic. It keeps you healthy and it keeps you resilient. ~ Daniel Kahneman 

The more optimistic you are, the more resilient you tend to become. Resilience is the quality of overcoming problems and difficult situations flexibly and without too much pressure and being positive through every situation, regardless of how bad it might seem to be, is only going to be helpful to oneself.

Being positive also has a great effect on one's health, both mental as well as physical because if one thinks positively, then one is bound to act positively too and attract the same energy in return.

The person who can bring the spirit of laughter to into a room is truly blessed. ~ Bennett Cerf 

Suppose a person is able to lighten up the environment and is able to make people laugh. In that case, the person is truly blessed because not everybody can be positive and make others laugh, mostly because everyone is going through something or the other, and the person trying to lift someone else's spirit must be going through something too, naturally. But the fact they are still trying to spread positive vibes, speaks volumes.

You cannot have a positive life and a negative mind. ~ Joyce Meyer 

If you wish to lead a positive and healthy life, then you need to attend to a more positive approach towards life and a more optimistic mindset because you cannot have a good life with a negative mindset.

Your thoughts will be reflected on your actions and behaviour, which is why you should always think accordingly.

You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events. ~ Joel Osteen 

Osteen has very beautifully explained the idea behind everything that tends to take place in one's life, both the good and the bad. He has said that things don't happen to a person. Instead, they tend to happen for them, because it is meant for their life to go in a certain direction; the challenges and obstacles in one's life might seem tough and unnecessary at that point of time, but everything happens for a reason.

One's duty is to try and see the silver lining in everything and look at it in a positive manner, instead of a negative one, and it is only going to prove helpful for them.

The best thing to do when you find yourself in a hurting or vulnerable place is to surround yourself with the strongest, finest, most positive people you know. ~ Kristin Armstrong 

Whenever you happen to face a difficult situation or you are hurting and suffering, then the best way to get out of this is to surround yourself with people who you know can help you; it does not necessarily have to be people who can help you find a way out of such situations, even someone just to listen to you and who stands by your side would be extremely helpful.

This is why you should keep the company of people who are positive, compassionate, and kind.

Whenever you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple. ~ Paulo Coelho 

When you do something that you are passionate about or something that you simply like doing, you tend to get a certain kind of positive energy and feel happy. This is why one should always indulge into doing things that they actually like doing, and not just do them for the sake of it or because others like them, because that way they will never really be truly happy while doing them.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow. ~ Helen Keller 

When we face the sunshine, our shadow that is being cast is not visible to us; here, sunshine is being referred to as positivity and optimism, whereas the shadow is being referred to darkness and bad things in general. And so, one should always focus on the good things in their life due to which they won't have to pay attention to the bad ones as they would stay out of their visual.

Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it doesn't take any brains to complain. ~ Robert A. Cook

If you are stuck in a problem or a difficult situation then whining or complaining is going to get you nowhere; everybody can complain about their problems, but the real test is what you do to overcome them and how you get out of that situation.

So, rather than complaining about something, do something positive about it, which can help you not only at that time, but in the future too.

I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well. ~ Yannick Noah

Karma is a cycle through which what you do, get backs to you at some or the other point in your life, whether the action is good or bad.

Noah, therefore, says that one should always give out positive vibes because only then will they receive the same; you give good, you get better in return.

I believe that we should gravitate towards people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives. ~ Nadia Comaneci 

The people you surround yourself tend to influence your life in some or the other way. And that is why, it is highly recommended to befriend people who have a vision, ambitions, and who are working towards their dreams, rather than those people who seem to have no purpose in life and do nothing productive, and take time for granted.

The more you surround yourself with productive and positive people, the better your life will become and the better the influence on you.

The way positive reinforcement is carried out is more important than the amount. ~ B. F. Skinner 

If you are trying to do something good, then you should focus on the quality more than the quantity because even a small amount of positivity is enough to make someone's day, given it is carried out in the correct manner.

For instance, a simple smile or an appreciative phrase is enough to make someone happy, only if it is said with the right heart and intention.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact. ~ William James 

Everything starts from and ends within your mind. Your mind is the most powerful thing about you because if you believe in something and if you want something bad enough, you will get it sooner or later.

All you have to do for a great life is believe that life is worth living and enjoying, and then the universe will automatically help you to live it that way.

You've done it before, and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, and unstoppable determination. ~ Ralph Marston 

If you find yourself in a difficult situation or a problem, then always remember, that you have been in one before and you overcame it; focus and channel your anger into a more positive and productive outlet and change it into determination and optimism, and you will be able to overcome any situation.

It takes but one positive thought when given a chance to survive and thrive to overpower an entire army of negative thoughts. ~ Robert H. Schuller 

The power of positivity is such that it takes only a single positive thought to overthrow and defeat an army of negative thoughts.

One positive affirmation or expression of gratitude is enough to brighten someone's day and help them take their mind off numerous negative thoughts. This is why one should not only have a positive mindset, but should also encourage others to have one, and should keep spreading positive vibes and energies.

A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one. ~ Mary Kay Ash 

An idea which is average or mediocre but catches more eyes and sparks more enthusiasm will still go further and inspire more people than an idea which is considered to be great but fails to catch people's attention.

When push comes to shove, it isn't the science that's going to lift you up - it's the belief, the spiritual side of life, that's going to lift you up, no matter what religion you are. ~ Kirstie Alley 

Science is indeed valuable and helpful, but only to a certain extent because when push comes to shove and when you would be in desperate need of faith and positivity, it is the spirituality of life and your own belief that is going to help you out and lift your soul and spirit, thereby helping you find the light and grow in life.

Look at people for an example. But then make sure to do things your way. Surround yourself with positive people. ~ Queen Latifah 

Always surround yourself with positive and optimistic people, and those who are productive, and look up to them and get inspired by them and their work. But only see them as an example and do things according to yourself only; don't try to imitate the, instead, learn from them and apply that learning to your daily life and become more productive.

But always remember to execute things in your own unique way.

Fortune cookies are a good idea. If the message is positive, it can make your day a little better. ~ Yao Ming 

A fortune cookie is an edible cookie with small positive messages inserted inside them, so as you break the cookie, you find a message, and then you eat the cookie.

This is a quite simple yet highly effective idea of making someone's day better because even a small positive message is enough to make one smile and spread good vibes.

Even when bad things happen, you have to try to use those bad things in a positive manner and really just take the positive out of it. ~ Natalie du Toit 

No matter how bad a situation might get or how difficult a problem or an obstacle might seem, you need to try to look at the silver lining and be optimistic instead of losing hope or giving up because that is not going to help you in any way, but being positive and at least trying to turn the situation around will.

I've always believed that you can think positive just as well as negative. ~ James Baldwin

If one can think negatively and can let one's mind be clouded with dark thoughts, then one can definitely think about good things too and let positive thoughts take over. But this is only possible if one allows positivity to enter their mind and soul and spreads the same energy in return.

Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power. ~ William James 

Pessimism is the quality of having a negative approach towards things and situations, and life in general, and thinking about the worst of a situation first. Whereas optimism is making the best out of every situation and looking at things as opportunities and having a positive outlook towards life in general.

The former is considered to be a weakness because it only brings you down and doesn't do any good, instead it only makes situations worse. The latter, on the other hand, is considered to be powerful because it tends to strengthen one and at times people around them too!

A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me. ~ David Bailey 

Here Bailey has passed a rather beautiful message through the narration of his experience. If one keeps a positive attitude and an optimistic mindset, then their dreams are bound to come true because that is always going to be helpful during tough times; it certainly did for Bailey.

Love yourself. It is important to be positive because beauty comes from the inside out. ~ Jenn Proske

It is highly crucial to love oneself and respect oneself because if you yourself don't appreciate yourself, then nobody else will either.

Positivity is of vitality in anybody's life because if you are positive and optimistic from the inside, only then that beauty and light will be reflected on the outside because beauty tends to radiate from within.

Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success. ~Shiv Khera

Along with positive thinking and mindfulness, you also have to work and apply that thinking in your life effectively along with honest efforts and doing the right thing, if you wish to succeed. And once you combine your positive thoughts with your positive actions, you are bound to succeed and excel in life.

A lot of things are going to happen that you can't necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it happens. ~ Lonzo Ball 

Everything is not going to be in your control because life does not tend to work that way. There are always going to be certain things about which you won't really be able to do anything, but that does not mean you lose hope, because although some events in life are going to be out of control, what you do after they take place and how you deal with them is always in your control.

After a particular thing happens, it is up to you whether you choose to sulk over it and complain about it, or if you learn from it and take it in stride, and move further in your life.

The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being. ~ Lech Walesa 

The basis of change, especially the kind of change that radiates positivity, is actually quite simple, and that is being helpful and kind to another person, and doing something for someone; there is more power in giving than there is in taking.

In times of great stress or adversity, it is always best to keep busy, to plough your anger and your energy into something positive. ~ Lee Iacocca 

When you are angry, upset, or stressed out, the best way to let it out and to not harm yourself or anybody else is to channel that rage and sadness into something productive and something positive. That way, not only will it be let out and make you feel better, but it will also have a good outcome and would be helpful for you.

For instance, you could channel your anger and your energy into art or into writing, etc.

Having a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done. ~ Bo Bennett 

When you have a positive mental attitude, no matter how tough something might look like, you will find a way to do it. Instead of losing hope and concluding that you won't be able to do it, you would ask yourself how you can, and try narrowing down the possibilities of the same. All in all, you would find a way and because as the old saying goes, where there is will, there is a way.

Virtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude. ~ Lou Holtz 

There is nothing in one's life that is impossible; it is merely a matter of how strongly you put your mind to something and how badly you want something to happen. If you believe in yourself and your aims and aspirations strongly enough, and maintain a positive attitude towards your work and towards life in general, there is nothing and nobody that could stop you from getting what you want.

Exercise, prayer, and meditation are examples of calming rituals. They have been shown to induce a happier mood and provide a positive pathway through life's daily frustrations. ~ Chuck Norris 

Activities like meditation, yoga, and exercising on a daily basis have proven to affect one's mood, mind, and body in a healthy and effective way, especially waking up early in the morning and practicing yoga or meditating.

Praying once in a while and expressing your gratitude for all you have and towards life in general, also tends to have a positive impact on one's daily routine.

We are all products of our experiences, good and bad. Sometimes you learn as much from the negative experiences as you do from the positive. ~ Brad Garlinghouse

Our experiences in life are what makes us, us, regardless of whether the experience was a good or bad one because every situation and every experience has a lesson to teach us and helps us to learn and grow in life.

And even the bad experiences are as useful as the good ones because they expand the area for one's development and improvement. It's just a matter of how you look at things and how you handle them!

My favourite parable for living a positive and influential life is the Golden Rule: 'Do onto others what you would have them do onto you.' ~ Tony Oller 

This is quite a simple, yet greatly positive message highlighted by Oller.

We simply have to treat people the way we wish to be treated; if we want people to be nice and kind to us, then we cannot be negative towards them, and we have to be kind and polite towards them too because it goes both the ways, and it isn't a one-way road.

In every day, there are 1,440 minutes. That means we have 1,440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact. ~ Les Brown 

In the span of 1,440 minutes, one can very easily indulge in activities that point towards a more positive outlook of life in general, or simply do something good.

It doesn't take much to bring about a positive impact in one's as well as in other people's lives because even the smallest of efforts tend to do the trick quite well.

There is a little difference between people but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative. ~ W. Clement Stone 

There is only a small difference between people that reflects their personality to others, which is that of their attitude and their mentality. But this small difference tends to make a huge difference; a person with a positive attitude is more likely to influence others and get along with other people than someone with a negative mindset.

A positive atmosphere nurtures a positive attitude, which is required to take positive action. ~ Richard M. DeVos 

For an individual to carry out a positive attitude and apply it to their life by acting on it, they need to be in a similar surrounding which encourages such a positive attitude because a person cannot be in a negative and pessimistic environment and expect to have a positive mindset. For instance, if a person surrounds him/herself by people who hold a negative mindset, he/she naturally won't be able to grow fully and positively.

Don't be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

Don't let your fears and doubts control your mind. Instead of letting your inhibitions and anxiousness take over you, let your dreams and ambition take over you and lead you towards success in life.

Some more positive thinking quotes....

Positive things come out of even the most difficult times. ~ Felipe Massa 

Positive remarks and outcomes can be made from even the most difficult and challenging times in life, it all matters on how one looks at things and how strong their perception is.

If one has a positive attitude and looks at the good in every bad situation, then one will easily be able to overcome the problem by coming up with something more positive. However, suppose they think from a pessimistic point of view. In that case, they are bound to get more intertwined in the problem because that way, they wouldn't actually be looking for a solution, and they would just be making it more difficult for themselves.

A little renovation and reinvention are a positive thing. ~ John Rzeznik

Here renovation and reinvention refer to change about and within oneself.

Change is inevitable, so, instead of resisting it and looking at it in a negative way, one should welcome change with arms wide open because it is a positive thing as it leads to one's development and growth in life.

Revenge is not a positive state of mind or energy to indulge yourself in. ~ Michael K. Williams

By taking revenge, you would be disturbing your mind and energy more than that of the other person because hate and vengeance tend to take a toll on you, and it never does any good to neither you nor the other person.

This is why, the best revenge is not to take one and simply do good in your own life and be happy and positive.

Winning does not always mean being first. Winning means you're doing better than you've done before. ~ Bonnie Blair 

Winning is not always about being better than everyone else and coming first. It is also about being a better version of your own self and doing better today, than you were yesterday.

Winning is about learning, constantly improving, and growing in life.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing. ~ Elbert Hubbard 

No matter how small a positive change is or how little positivity there is in something, it will still always be better than negative nothing.

Besides, something is always better than nothing.

if you are positive, you'll see opportunities instead of obstacles. ~ Widad Akrawi

Positivity is about being optimistic and looking at the larger picture or looking at the silver lining in every situation, no matter how bad it is. This is why, if you walk with a positive mindset, then you will only see opportunities and the good in every situation, but if you don't have a positive outlook towards life in general, you are bound to see even opportunities as obstacles.

Happiness is an attitude. We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong. The amount of work is the same. ~ Francesca Reigler

It is completely in our own control whether we choose to stay happy or pessimistic and negative in our life. The amount of work required in both is the same, so why not choose the better option which holds more value than the one which is not going to get us anywhere and do us no good!

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain. ~ Dolly Parton 

Here, Parton has greatly showcased the relationship of positivity and struggle.

A rainbow only tends to occur after a heavy downpour or a rainy storm. Here, the success and the other good things in life have been compared with the rainbow, and the struggle has been compared with the storm or the rain.

If one wishes to succeed and excel in life, they have to go through the ups and downs and various other struggles first.

Let your unique awesomeness and positive energy inspire confidence in others. ~ Anonymous 

Being positive and optimistic is not only beneficial and healthy for yourself, but it also helps spreading positive and good vibes to other people in your surroundings, thereby inspiring them to be confident and optimistic too.

Start each day with a positive thought and a grateful heart. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

Always begin your day with a positive and constructive thought, and in a productive way and the rest of your day will automatically go better and bright.

Starting your day with a positive vibe is incredibly important because if you are not grateful for the little things in your life, then you would be taking them for granted and that seldom does any good to anybody. So, one should always be appreciative and positive as they start their day for a better day ahead.

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. ~ Helen Keller 

Here, the door of happiness is referred to as an opportunity or something good in general; if there is bad, there will be good to compensate for the former but we tend to stay too fixated on the bad parts and because of that, we often miss out to see the good that follows.

Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions. ~ Dalai Lama 

Happiness is not something that is handed over to you or something that is readymade, you have to get your own happiness because it all depends on your thoughts and actions; the more positive and optimistic you are, the happier you tend to be.

You cannot expect your life to be filled with happiness and joy if you yourself are filled with negative thoughts and emotions.

If you believe it'll work out, you'll see opportunities. If you don't believe it'll work out, you'll see obstacles. ~ Wayne Dyer 

If you believe in yourself and in what you are doing, it is going to work out for you, and you will see opportunities coming your way. But if you don't believe in yourself and keep doubting yourself as well as your work, it might still work, but you are going to see hurdles and obstacles in your way.

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity. ~ Albert Einstein 

No matter what the problem is or how challenging a difficulty seems, it is never just bad, for it always beholds a lesson to teach us, which helps us to grow and improve further in life. This is why one should always look on the brighter side of things and learn from them instead of panicking and being ignorant.

Never regret anything that made you smile. ~ Mark Twain

Anything and anybody who once made you smile contributed into making your life a little bit better by making a day in your life a little bit better. This is why never regret something that made you smile because it is the little things in life that tend to come together to form a great thing.

Today is the opportunity to build the tomorrow you want. ~ Ken Poirot 

Your present and today is your opportunity to build your future and your tomorrow the way you want it to be.

If you wish to have a happy and successful tomorrow, then you must work towards making it so, today, and you must work hard because nothing good ever comes off easy to anyone.

Some more positive quotes.....

It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but a good amount of it actually is. ~ Anonymous

Be happy with what you have while working for what you want. ~ Helen Keller 

You always be happy and satisfied with all that you have and the way your life is.

Nothing can dim the light that shines from within. ~ Maya Angelou

The world is full of nice people. If you can't find one, be one. ~ Nishan Panwar 

There are always going to be two kinds of people, the good ones and the bad ones, and the world is full of good people who are kind and polite to other people.

Be the kind and compassionate person that you expect others to be and spread positivity because change always starts from and within oneself.

A walk to a nearby park may give you more energy and inspiration in life than spending two hours in front of a screen. ~ Tsang Lindsay

Connecting with nature and exploring outdoors will always have a positive effect on both your mind as well as your body as it tends to bring peace and calmness. Whereas spending hours and hours in front of the television and phone screens is only going to make you feel lazier and more lethargic.

Taking a stroll in a park is going to make you feel more exuberant than a video game would.

And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. ~ Paulo Coelho 

If you want something, the universe is going to help you get it no matter what happens, and how many obstacles you face, you will get through them and achieve your goal. But you should be wanting something bad enough for the universe and other life forces to help you because if you don't believe in yourself or your work and if you aren't driven by dedication and determination enough, then you aren't going to be able to get what you want.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~ Martin Luther King Jr. 

When there is darkness, more darkness is only going to add up to it and make it worse, and it is not going to be able to drive it away, only a source of light is going to be able to drive out the darkness and make it brighter.

Similarly, hatred cannot fight hatred, it will only make it worse and spread more bitterness, and only love and positivity can help drive away hate and spread peace.

If you judge people, you have no time to love them. ~ Mother Teresa 

Everyone is built in a unique way and everyone tends to function different than one another, which is why one should never judge people because the more you judge someone, the more bitter you are bound to become. Then you won't have time to be positive and affectionate.

Instead of judging people for what they lack, appreciate, and love them for what they have.

Work hard and don't give up hope. Be open to criticism and keep learning. Surround yourself with happy, warm and genuine people. ~ Tena Desae

Keep working and practising till you get what you want and achieve your dreams; never let any hindrance or challenge bring you down, and instead of losing hope, learn from your mistakes and work even harder than before.

And always be open to criticism because constructive criticism is useful and helpful and helps you to grow in life.

Also always surround yourself with people who are productive, positive, kind, and who genuinely wish to see you grow and succeed, and not those people who are phoney and negative.

If today you are a little bit better than you were yesterday, then that's enough. ~ David A. Bednar

It is going to take a lot of time, plenty of hard work, and constant learning and practise becoming the best version of yourself. So, if you are just a little bit better than you were yesterday, and if there is even the slightest amount of progress, then that is more than enough.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~ Confucius

Never failing or having a fallback isn't a big achievement; getting up and not losing hope after every failure is.

Failures and setbacks are only a part of life and are utterly crucial if one wishes to succeed because they help us in growing and improving. This is why never failing isn't something to be proud of because it is a necessary part of life that one needs to experience; not giving up after falling down is what you should be flaunting.

You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so… get on your way! ~ Dr. Seuss

Flowers grow back even after the harshest winters. You will too. ~ Jennae Cecilia

Usually due to the snow and cold, flowers don't tend to grow that much during the time of winters. But as the winter passes, the flowers bloom again.

Here, the flowers refer to an individual and the harshest winters are being referred to as tough times in one's life.

The fact that flowers grow back as winters pass, is proof that you will too as you overcome obstacles and hindrances in your life. And the fact that winters do pass, is proof that those tough times will pass too.

What is coming is better than what is gone. ~ Anonymous 

The past has already happened, and there is nothing you could possibly do that would change it or redo it, which is why, instead of sulking over your past, you should always concentrate more on your future.

What has gone might have been good but believe in the power of nature and the way life works, that what is coming, is even better.

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~ Anthony J. D'Angelo 

Wherever you go, no matter what kind of an environment or surrounding you are situated in, always stay positive and bright and keep spreading good vibes.

Your surrounding should never overshadow your aura and sparkle!

You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. ~ A.A. Mine 

You are braver than you think yourself to be, are stronger than what you seem or what people tell you, and you are cleverer than you think you are, which is why no obstacle or challenge is too difficult for you to not overcome.

You got this! You can do it!

No one is perfect - that's why pencils have erasers. ~ Wolfgang Riebe 

When you write something but make a mistake, you can simply erase it and rewrite it. And that is why pencils have erasers.

Similarly, if you make a mistake, then you can learn from it and try improving in that particular area because no mistake is permanent; nobody is perfect, and everyone gets plenty of chances to redeem and reinvent themselves.

Even the darkest night will end, and the sun will rise. ~ Victor Hugo 

Here, the darkest night is being referred to dark and tough times; no matter how challenging and tough a situation might seem, it will pass you, and you will overcome it and find the light again.

Believe in your infinite potential. Your only limitations are those you set upon yourself. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

If you believe in your work and yourself, are determined enough to achieve something in life and have a strong sense of will power, then there is nothing and nobody that could stop you from getting what you want in life.

No restrictions or limitations are stopping you but only those which you set upon yourself, so, set yourself free from your doubts and fears, and have faith and confidence in yourself.

Do what you love, love what you do, and with all your heart give yourself to it. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

Do the things that you actually like to do and want to do, and not those which look good to others or because other people like doing them.

And make sure that you love what you are doing and are not just doing it for the sake of it; whatever you do, put your heart and mind into it, give it your best by putting in your honest efforts, time, and energy.

You'll never find a rainbow if you're looking down ~ Charlie Chaplin

This is a highly inspiring and positive quote.

It means that one should never look down and keep looking up; here, the reference of the rainbow is used because a rainbow is formed in the sky, and if one keeps looking down and does not look up in the sky, then he/she won't be able to see the rainbow.

Smile more. Smiling can make you and others happy. ~ Roy T. Bennett

Smiling is a simple act of positivity, yet it manages to lift people's spirits and make their day a whole lot better!

This is why one should always keep smiling because it not only makes oneself feel good but also tends to brighten up other people's day.

Only those who attempt the absurd can achieve the impossible. ~ Albert Einstein 

Life is all about taking risks, facing challenges, and trying out new things! If you don't even attempt anything different, how are you going to be able to know what its outcome would be! Besides, only those who have the guts to take risks and doing the most absurd things, are able to unlock their true potential and achieve the greatest of the things.

Nothing makes a person happier than having a happy heart. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

If you have a heart full of positivity and happiness, then that is exactly when you are going to be the happiest too!

Always fill both your mind and your heart with positivity and joy, and you will notice good changes in your life as well.

You have come a long way and have won many battles. Whenever you're faced with a difficult or challenging situation, you'll overcome it. Yes, you can. ~ Roy T. Bennett

If you ever feel low or discouraged, always remember that you have come a long way and you have faced many obstacles, but you have overcome each and every one of them, and just like that, you can overcome this too.

Now, time for some positive life quotes and positive motivational quotes....to boost your energy...

Expect the best, prepare for the worst. ~ Muhammad Ali Jinnah 

One should always expect the best result or outcome there is, but for the best result, one would naturally have to prepare to face the worst in the way.

You need to be both mentally as well as physically prepared to face the worst by working extremely hard and that too constantly, without giving up, if you wish to obtain an excellent end product.

Every sunset is an opportunity to reset. ~ Richie Norton 

As the sun sets, it signifies the opportunity to start again and try again as every day the sun sets; it marks that a new day will come, and the sun will rise again.

Don't get disheartened if you are unable to carry something out today, because you always have tomorrow; simply make sure that you compensate for that particular day's work.

The beginning is always NOW! ~ Roy T. Bennett

Bennett once again has highlighted a rather important message through this quote.

If you wish to start, then right now is the perfect time to do so; instead of waiting for the right time, make the right use of all the time you have because if you keep waiting for the right time and right opportunity, you will always be waiting. Therefore, utilise every opportunity and your time wisely, and begin now, rather than coming up with any excuse whatsoever.

Whenever you choose to start, it would be the right time, so, all you need to is begin!

Even the smallest changes in our daily routine can create incredible ripple effects that expand our vision of what is possible. ~ Charles F. Glassman 

Never ignore small things and changes in your daily life, no matter how small or insignificant they might seem, because they are always important and tend to contribute in some or the other way towards creating a better future for you. And they also help you in improving and developing by expanding your vision and by bringing about new information and things to your attention.

You have to open up to the world and learn optimism...Contentment with the past, happiness with the present, and hope for the future. Learned optimism. ~ Jennifer Cruise 

You need to learn to let your mind be more inclined towards good and positive things in the world.

You need to accept your past because it cannot be changed, and acknowledge the fact that whatever happens, happens for the right reasons. And you also need to be happy and content with your present instead of complaining about things not being a certain way; if you really wish to change it, then act on it rather than simply whining about it.

Remember, you see in any situation what you expect to see. ~ David Schwartz 

A particular situation might not always be in your control, but how you view it and what you do after it, is always completely in nobody else's but only your hands.

You could try and look at the bigger picture in a tough situation and focus on the silver lining, or you could get discouraged and complain about it; it is always up to you, whether you want to be clever and mature about it or not.

The best kind of happiness is a habit you're passionate about. ~ Shannon L. Alder 

When you develop a habit that you love spending time on, and that makes you feel excited and motivated, the happiness that tends to radiate from that is simply unmatched.

One should always do something that they actually like doing, and always love and appreciate whatever they do.

Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

There are always going to be certain things that you won't be able to control, and instead of complaining about that, you should simply accept that fact, move on, and pay attention to the things that you can manage and are still in your hand.

Focus on an ocean of positives, not a puddle of negatives. ~ Kevin Ansbro 

Here, the amount of positivity in life is signified by an ocean, which is incredibly huge and immeasurable, whereas, the amount of negativity is being referred to as a puddle, which is a small collection of water and dirt that usually appears after rain showers.

One should thus always focus more on the innumerable positives in life, rather than complaining about a few negatives.

Pessimism never won any battle. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower 

Pessimism is of no use ever and only helps in deteriorating the quality of the situation more, by installing more negativity in one's mind. Optimism, on the other hand, is always the one that tends to win the battle because at the and of the day, the good will take over the bad, and positivity will help one out way more than negativity ever will.

Think about every good thing in your life right now. Free yourself of worrying. Let go of the anxiety, breathe. Stay positive, all is well. ~ Germany Kent

Always remember that you are only human, and you deserve and need a break too at times. So, give yourself a break from bringing yourself down and think about all the times you fought a problem head-on and overcame it, and think about how long you have come along, and focus on the positive aspects of your life.

Worrying is not going to get you anywhere, so, take a deep breath, let it all out, and continue to stay optimistic and full of positivity.

Turn obstacles into opportunities and problems into possibilities. ~ Roy T. Bennett

Try viewing your obstacles as opportunities for learning and growing because every obstacle has some or the other valuable lesson to teach you, and once you do that, you would also be able to turn your problems into possibilities; never give up and always be optimistic.

Grateful people are happy people. The more things you are grateful for, the happier you will be. ~ Roy T. Bennett 

If you are grateful, you are bound to be happy too! This is because when you are grateful for something, you realise its true value, thereby learning to appreciate it and being satisfied and happy with it too. This is why you should always be grateful for all that you have and anything and everything that life has to offer to you.

It never hurts to see the good in someone, they often act the better because of it. ~ Nelson Mandela 

Instead of seeing someone's flaws and pointing them out, you should always try focusing on their good parts and make them happy by pointing those out. And such a simple act is bound to make their day better and help them act more on their good parts in the future as well.

No obstacle is big enough for optimism. ~ Amit Kalantri

Optimism is one such attribute that is able to tackle every obstacle and every hindrance there is, no matter how big the challenge is because the power of positivity is undoubtedly unmatched. All one needs to do to tap into that source of power and utilise it, is fill your mind with positive thoughts and energy, and believe in yourself, and voila!
