I’m collecting quotes to help me move on in life and have a more optimistic outlook.
I’ve been feeling extremely down lately, and just completely hopeless and I really just want to feel better.
I decided to write down advice and quotes that people have given me to help me move on in a little book, and I read the quotes when I’m feeling hopeless.
Does anyone have any quotes or advice I can add to it?
Things you think of maybe when you’re upset which cheer you up a bit and help you move on from the moment.
Anything will be greatly appreciated.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies
… be successful anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow
… do good anyway.

‘I’m Not sure of where I’m going,
With no reason to walk down this road.
There is nothing that I am seeing,
And I don’t have a blind fold.
With nothing to help me,
My dreams are being faded.
To you it doesn’t matter,
Cus they where mine to be created.
Mine to be created.’

you can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks even months over analyzing a situation; trying to put the peices together, justifying what could’ve, should’ve, would’ve happened. or you can just leave the peices on the floor and move the f***** on.- tupac
what does not kill you, only makes you stronger..
There are some things in life you wish to erase permanently, but you cant, so we put it down to experience and move on to the next great adventure!
