You can’t be happy always, no matter how hard you try, because life is never meant to be smooth sailing. Disappointments and sadness are a normal part of living.
However, dwelling on the negatives isn’t going to get you far in life. It is okay to trip and stumble sometimes, and you might even fall flat on your face!
Learn from your mistakes or laugh at yourself if possible. But whatever you do, don’t stay down when life knocks you down. Get back up, dust yourself off and try again.
Life can be a bit easier if you don’t take yourself too seriously or sweat the small stuff. A more helpful approach is to focus more on the positives, live the best way you can, laugh more, and love deeply, even when your situation seems bleak.
I’ve compiled these Live Laugh Love quotes to help you maintain positivity. Consider bookmarking this page so you can return to it whenever you need to get your mojo back, especially during difficult times.
