“If there is no struggle, there is no progress.” ~Frederick Douglass
Struggle is often lamented as a bad thing, as a sign that you won’t get what you want and things are going to turn out poorly. But this quote is a reminder that unless you’re struggling you aren’t making any progress. Think about it: a life without struggle would mean that you are playing it safe, staying with what you know, and limiting your own evolution and growth. Struggle is a sign that you are pushing yourself, testing your limits, and making real progress. Armed with this new perspective you can take on the world.
“Defeat is simply a signal to press onward.” ~Helen Keller
Many people view defeat as a signal to give up and try something else. But here’s a way to get inspired to just keep moving forward when you face defeat of any sort. Amazing things start to happen when you press on without any sign that things will get better. Things start to get better simply because you’ve kept pressing on. The universe bends to you because it realizes that you’re not going to take no for an answer. There may be no more uplifting idea than a universe that is conspiring with you to achieve your dreams as long as you keep striving forward.
“Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.” ~Mario Fernandez
On a stormy day it’s easy to forget that the sun is still shining behind all of those thick clouds. The same is true for problems we face in our lives. It can look dark and gloomy when we peer out into the future, but we have to remember that just behind those clouds, rain, lightning, and thunder is an abundance of sunshine and clear skies. It’s just a matter of rising above it so that we can feel the sunshine and get inspired to keep soaring to new heights, where rain and storms just can’t reach.
“The best is yet to be.” ~Robert Browning
Have you been thinking that your best days are behind you? That’s not a good thought to hold onto, so it’s better to go with this quote that turns it around and gets your mind thinking that the best is still to come. The reason we start to think that maybe we’ve already lived our best days is because life has been a bit rough lately, and we’re projecting that roughness into the future. But what if it were possible to fully believe that things are going to get better, and that your future holds days that are better than anything you’ve yet lived? That would be pretty powerful.
“Life has no limitations, except the ones you make.” ~Les Brown
It’s human nature to put limitations on ourselves, and it doesn’t help if you were raised in a family with limited beliefs or had teachers that stifled your growth. But now you have the ability to correct any wrong thinking by releasing yourself from self-imposed limitations and really stretching your legs to see how tall you can stand. Life may be going tough right now, but is it because you have been living to certain limitations, or that you feel you can’t surmount an obstacle in front of you? Time to break free of these limits and change your life for the better.
“Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” ~Theodore Roosevelt
The power of belief can’t be understated, and this quote is an excellent way to sum up just what a difference it can make. The problem with tough times is that they take a big blow to our belief levels. Once your belief takes a hit it’s hard for anything you try to go right. Start by getting your belief level back up, that should be your first step in getting recharged and ready to go again. Believe that you can’t and you’ll never make it, so start with step one so that you can take a sort of shortcut to where you want to go. Believe you can!
“Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.” ~Charles R. Swindoll
Is life tough right now? Can you be open-minded enough to consider that it could be more how you’re reacting to life than what exactly life is throwing at you. Control that reaction and you can play a big part in how life is going. This quote is a pretty popular one, and says that it’s largely up to how you’re reacting to the events that happen in your life. Couple that with other quotes that say you bend and shape your future, and what is really happening is how you’re reacting to the things you’re creating.
“Failure is the condiment that gives success its flavor.” ~Truman Capote
If failure has been leaving a bad taste in your mouth, it’s time to turn the tables on how you perceive its flavor. Here he’s saying that failure is the reason why success tastes so good. Success wouldn’t be as gratifying as it is if you didn’t have to overcome some failures on the way there. But you get to savor the flavor of success because you did try, you did fail, you didn’t give up, and you made it to your destination. A handy piece to keep in mind when life isn’t exactly going as you’d planned.
“The world is more malleable than you think and it’s waiting for you to hammer it into shape.” ~Bono
If the world around you seems like it is just the way it is because of the way the world works, this quote shows that it’s not quite as fixed as it looks. You get to bend it and shape it so that it’s looks the way you want it to, but in order to do that you have to deliberately set out to. Rather than let life throw you around, get in the driver’s seat, and as Bono is saying, swing that hammer. The world won’t hammer itself into the shape you want, you have to be the one that provides the inspired action.
“Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.” ~Samuel Beckett
Did you know it was possible to fail better? This is a unique quote that shows there are multiple levels of failing. There isn’t just one type of failing, and if you try knowing that you’re probably going to fail, that you expect to fail as a way to get better, the whole game changes. You aren’t afraid of failure, and it isn’t stumbling block. You start measuring your failures to see if you’re failing smarter, better, more efficiently. If you’re failing in the right direction. Eventually these failures lead to success, as they have for so many great thinkers and achievers in human history.
“There is no education like adversity.” ~Benjamin Disraeli
Would you want to play a game against a total novice when you yourself are a professional? No! It would be so boring that you would quickly tire of the game. That’s how it is with life, so adversity should not make you want to stop playing. Adversity is like playing the game with someone that’s just a little better than you are. You can learn from them, hone your skills, and improve your game. It makes playing the game fun and makes you better for it. So if life is throwing you a curveball, learn how to hit curveballs.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.” ~Nelson Mandela
Nelson Mandela shows that when you’re trying to do something amazing it’s going to appear like an impossible task right up until the time it’s completed. That’s how you know you’re working on something worthwhile. It wouldn’t be much fun to do work that you know is possible and easy to complete and just do it again and again. So when life gets tough, and it feels like it’s not going to get any better, just remember that it always seems impossible until you’ve reached your goal. That should help lift you out of any funk and put you on the path towards brighter days.
“All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make, the better.” ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
So what if everything blew up in your face, at least you were trying something new to see what would happen. Those that stick to what they know and don’t try new things or attempt new goals are living a very limited experience. If things are getting tough it’s likely because you’re venturing into new areas and getting out of your comfort zone. This is a good place to be and will help you get the most out of life. Keep making those experiments. Things might not always be easy going, and you it might sometimes look like a disaster, but on one attempt you’ll get it right. Tinker, tinker.
