Lo and behold, here are 18 positive quotes for when you need encouragement. I hope you enjoy these and I hope they help. :)

1. "A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset. When you wake up, take a second to think about what a privilege it is to simply be alive and healthy.

3. "But the most beautiful things in life are not just things. They're people, places, memories, and pictures. They're feelings and moments and smiles and laughter."

4. "Don't chase people. Be an example. Attract them. Work hard and be yourself. The people who belong in your life will come find you and stay. Just do your thing."

5. "Don't wait until you've reached your goal to be proud of yourself. Be proud of every step you take toward reaching that goal."

12. "One day you will look back on this season and know that you are truly blessed, and not because you were perfect but because you found perfect grace in the worst of it." ~ Morgan Harper Nichols

13. "She's not confident because of what she's done, but because of what God has done in her." ~ Morgan Harper Nichols

14. "Staying positive doesn't mean you don't feel sad or angry sometimes; it means you keep on going anyway."

15. "Though the weight of the world tried to pull her into its bottomless sea, His Love was the raft that kept her from sinking. Wave after wave, He steadied her soul. Wave after wave, He made her whole." ~Morgan Harper Nichols

16. "We have to realize that our lives could be gone in a moment. There are no guarantees that we will be here at this time next year. Learn to live each day to the fullest. Don't complain. Don't focus on what's wrong. Be grateful for the opportunity to experience each day."

17. "You need to ignore what everyone else is doing and achieving. Your life is about breaking your own limits and outgrowing yourself to live your best life. You are not in competition with anyone else. Plan to outdo your past, not other people."

18. "Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth."

Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
