While having a great day every single day would be ideal, realistically, none of us are immune to having bad days. Whether it’s a stressful day at work or a disagreement with a loved one, sometimes a bad mood is unavoidable.

For those less-than-amazing days, I’ve compiled a list of beautiful quotes that have given me strength during difficult times. I encourage you to share, pin and post these quotes to spread inspiration with friends and family.
