30 Inspiring Quotes For When You Feel Like You've Hit Rock-Bottom

Sometimes we go through an entire day where everything that can possibly go wrong, well, goes wrong. Sometimes it's a month-long unluckiness streak. Maybe even an entire year of feeling like you just can't win. Trust me, I know the feeling all too well. One thing I look to when I feel like my world is crumbling at the palms of my hands are inspirational quotes. Sure, some of them may be cheesy, but trust me, they do give you a better outlook on life when all you want to do is lock yourself in your room and hibernate to avoid more defeat. Below, I've listed 30 quotes that I think have the ability to lift someone up from feeling like they've hit a low point and give them the strength to carry on and love their life again.

  1. “You only fail when you stop trying.”
  2. “Sometimes when things are falling apart they may actually be falling into place.”
  3. “One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.”
  4. “The darkest nights produce the brightest stars.”
  5. “If it doesn’t open, it’s not your door.”
  6. “The greater your storm the brighter your rainbow.”
  7. “I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.”
  8. “You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one.”
  9. “A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure.”
  10. “Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will!”
  11. “Everything is going to be ok in the end. If it’s not ok, it’s not the end.”
  12. “Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.”
  13. “Failure is the opportunity to being again more intelligently.”
  14. “Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.”
  15. “Your life only gets better when you do. Work on yourself and the rest will follow.”
  16. “It might take a year, it might take a day, but what’s meant to be will always find it’s way.”
  17. “Just because the past didn’t turn out like you wanted it to, doesn’t mean your future can’t be better than you ever imagined.”
  18. “Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”
  19. “Don’t be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”
  20. “Don’t look back, you’re not going that way.”
  21. “Don’t be afraid to start over. It’s brand new opportunity to rebuild what you truly want.”
  22. “Broken crayons still color.”
  23. “Every flower must grow through dirt.”
  24. “Don’t give up. Normally it is the last key on the ring which opens the door.”
  25. “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
  26. “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”
  27. “Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.”
  28. “Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence.”
