Hey, let’s be real—life doesn’t always go the way we want. Sometimes it hits hard, and all we wanna do is curl up in bed, scroll endlessly, or binge-watch something until we forget our worries. But in those low moments, a few words—just a sentence or two—can genuinely lift your mood, give you perspective, and maybe even put a smile on your face.
Here are 20 quotes that could be that little nudge you need to keep going. We’re keeping it chill, nothing too heavy or philosophical—just honest, relatable, and hopefully inspiring.
1. "This too shall pass." — Persian Proverb
Simple. Classic. True. No matter how tough things feel right now, they will change. Bad days don’t last forever—even the longest nights end with sunrise.
2. "You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just have to stop letting them control you." — Dan Millman
Feeling overwhelmed? Your mind might be racing. Remember: You’re not your thoughts. Take a deep breath. Let them come. Let them go.
3. "It’s okay to be a glowstick; sometimes we have to break before we shine."
Whoever came up with this deserves a standing ovation. It’s cheesy in the best way. Sometimes, it’s the breaking that makes way for light.
4. "Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." — J.K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter when her life was at a low point. Just imagine what you could build from here.
5. "You are allowed to be both a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously." — Sophia Bush
Don’t beat yourself up. You can be amazing and still figuring things out. Nobody has it all together.
6. "Sometimes when you’re in a dark place, you think you’ve been buried, but actually you’ve been planted." — Christine Caine
What if this struggle is the soil you need to grow? What if this is just the beginning of something beautiful?
7. "The wound is the place where the light enters you." — Rumi
Pain isn’t just suffering—it’s also where transformation begins. It’s raw, yes, but also real.
8. "One small crack does not mean that you are broken—it means you were put to the test and didn’t fall apart." — Linda Poindexter
Cracks are part of your story, not signs of failure. You’re still standing. That’s strength.
9. "You don’t have to have it all figured out to move forward."
If you’re waiting for the perfect plan or moment… spoiler alert: it doesn’t exist. Just take the next small step.
10. "You’re doing better than you think you are."
Let that sink in. Seriously. You’ve come this far. You’re here, reading this, looking for light. That counts for something—something huge.
11. "No rain, no flowers."
The hard days bring the beauty. Growth needs struggle. Keep going—you might be about to bloom.
12. "You are enough, exactly as you are."
You don’t need to do more, be more, or prove anything. Your worth isn’t up for debate.
13. "Healing isn’t linear."
Some days will feel great. Others will suck. That doesn’t mean you’re not making progress. Ups and downs are part of the process.
14. "Don’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20."
We all move at different paces. Social media lies. Focus on your own path, and walk it with pride.
15. "You are not a burden. You’re a human being with needs."
Struggling doesn’t make you weak or annoying. It makes you real. Let yourself be supported.
16. "Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise." — Victor Hugo
A little Les Mis wisdom. Hang on. Dawn always comes, even if it takes a while.
17. "Feelings are much like waves; we can’t stop them from coming, but we can choose which ones to surf." — Jonatan Mårtensson
You’re allowed to feel everything. Just don’t let the storm pull you under. Find your board. Ride the wave.
18. "Don’t believe everything you think."
Especially when you’re down, your brain can be a bit of a bully. Don’t take those thoughts at face value. You are not your worst day.
19. "Your current situation is not your final destination."
Read that again. This is just a chapter, not the whole book. Better pages are coming.
20. "Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’" — Mary Anne Radmacher
Trying again tomorrow might be the bravest thing you do. And that’s more than enough.
You’re Human, and That’s Beautiful
Hey, you’re not alone. We all stumble. We all feel low. But even in the darkest hours, there’s a flicker of hope—sometimes found in a quote, a song, a friend, or a random moment of kindness. You matter. You’re not broken. You’re growing.
Whenever you’re feeling low, revisit these words. Let them be your reminder: You’ve survived 100% of your worst days so far, and that makes you a freaking warrior.
