the people around me like my family and close friends are there to help keep me going. I look up to a lot of influential and inspiring people and many quotes keep me going. for example-
'sunny days wouldnt be so special if it wasnt for rain, and joy wouldnt feel so good if it wasnt for pain'.
like it says, we wouldn't be able to enjoy our good experiences if we didn't have something bad to compare it to. This is why sometimes people with such pampered & wealthy lifestyles have some of the worst problems like those of depression and loneliness and acoholism because they are missing that sense of striving for something and going against the tide, and therefore they unconciously seek unhealthy substitutes for it.
also, -'life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning how to dance...in the rain.
Sometimes I find myself constantly focusing on the bad things and all the shit I have to deal with here and there, but this quote puts into perspective how theres always going to be shit happening in one's life, but one just has to make the best of it.
