When you fail too many times, it feels as if you are never going to get back up. You have to be your own spiritual and inspirational guide and walk through this hard time with grace and strength. You have to give your mind the power that you can get through anything. Giving yourself time to read quotes is already a big step to a new way of thinking. If you have the ability to read quotes, then you have the ability to create a spiritual relationship with yourself whether it is changing your mindset, being open to learning being optimistic about life and fixing things you are not happy with. Just remember this, whatever you are going through today someone else has gone through in their own life. Being an inspirational figure to yourself not only means you can follow through with your own heart, but you may be inspiring others just because of the way you see things and give knowledge through quotes you have read. 

If there is anything worth living for it is definitely your own life. Life is a gift, and it is precious. Don't give up just because things are hard. Do you know how great you are going to feel when you have overcome obstacles? It is a grand feeling to be able to say, "after all these difficult times, I am still here. I am still standing strong." Giving up is not an option nor should it ever be. There are so many people who are not here anymore who fought for their lives, who fought to smile a little more, who fought to cry a bit more, who fought to see the beauty in this world and people who have fought to live in the world at it's ugliest times and still had hope for the next day. Live your life like it's golden, live your life as if it were your last. Get your favorite book of quotes, sit down, read and reflect.
