inspirational quotes

When life is difficult and you are having a tough time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, reading inspirational quotes can be a very powerful way to inspire and motivate yourself.

The reality is whatever problem or difficulty you are currently going through, probability states that somewhere, sometime in history another human also went through something similar. So learning and reading inspirational quotes from someone who went through life’s difficulties and has been there and back, gives you access to wisdom which you would have only otherwise gotten with a lot of age and personal experience. Meaning by reading these inspirational quotes you can sort of skip a step and learn from your “future self”, from someone who faced your difficulty, turned around and passed what they learned back to you. It’s quite poetic really, almost feels like a “circle of life” sort of thing, where humans in the past give us a lifetime worth of wisdom in a small condensed version in a few lines, a few words, a small quote šŸ™‚

But I think you got the point, I really LOVE quotes and can speak hours and hours about how they have made my life better. In difficult moments of my life when I felt really hopeless, by reading quotes and particularly some of the inspirational quotes below, I was able to recharge, get motivated and light the spark inside of me to get going again.

So whether you are looking for motivation to start a project, hope to keep going on when life is coming down on you the hardest, or for finding some light in the darkness when all your doors seem to be closing. I am confident this list of inspirational quotes that I’ve handpicked will help to inspire and motivate you to reach your dreams!
