Life can be incredibly difficult at times, especially on the really bad days.

On these days, refer to the following quotes as a small reminder to be yourself and to keep going.

11. "Maybe there's something you're afraid to say, or someone you're afraid to love, or somewhere you're afraid to go. It's gonna hurt. It's gonna hurt because it matters." ~John Green

12. "The temptation to quit will be the greatest just before you are about to succeed." ~Chinese Proverb

13. "It always seems impossible until it's done." ~Unknown

14. "Doing the best at this moment puts you in the best place for the next moment." ~Oprah Winfrey

15. "Every flower must grow through dirt." ~Unknown

16. "Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be." ~Rick Warren

17. "If you always put a limit on everything you do, physical or anything else it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them." ~Bruce Lee.

As Shia LaBeouf would say, "Don't let your dreams be dreams!"
