50 quotes that can cheer you up and inspire you to move on

We all make mistakes and often blame ourselves for it. Especially when we let someone down or don't keep a promise to ourselves. But did you know that guilt almost never helps you overcome a problem or admit defeat in order to move on? We humans are interesting and strange living creatures. We know that failure is part of our lives and perhaps a hidden gift from above. However, even small mistakes can make us very upset.

 

Do you know what helps you get through a difficult period, when it seems to you that the earth is about to jump out from under your feet?
