Colleen Hoover Quotes

You can't appreciate a great day unless you've experienced bad ones." - Rabbi Glassman

No one really has a bad life. Not even a bad day. Just bad moments.

Everyone goes through bad days, but that does not mean you should stop enjoying the good days.

Don't let the good days get to your head, and don't let the bad days get to your heart.

Take everything that's bad in your life and look at the positive within it. Don't ever see your glass as half-empty.

If I ever feel like, 'Oh, my life!' or get upset by silly things like a photographer, or if someone has written something nasty that's upset me, I just think, 'Worse things happen at sea.'

You can't appreciate the good times without the bad ones.

Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties.

Only one who has known how troubled life can be, has a real appreciation of it when it is good

Life is a refining process. Our response to it determines whether we'll be ground down or polished up. On a piano, one person sits down and plays sonatas, while another merely bangs away at "Chopsticks." The piano is not responsible. It's how you touch the keys that makes the difference. It's how you play what life gives you that determines your joy and shine.

We are too prone to engrave our trials in marble and write our blessings in sand.

Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right.

I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my druthers, it would never have been changed at all. What I learned from it is that today seems to be the hardest lesson of all. I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned that it is not a dress rehearsal, and that today is the only guarantee you get. I learned to look at all the good in the world and to try to give some of it back because I believed in it completely and utterly.

It's been a tough year. . . Someone said I should send out Buddhist thank-you cards since Buddhists believe that anything that challenges you makes you pull yourself together.

Into every sunny life a little rain must fall.

When you go through enough dark places, you don't complain about little things. You don't lose your joy because you got stuck in traffic; you don't get offended because a coworker was rude to you. You've been through too much to let that sour you.

I think we are all overcoming tiny obstacles every second of every day even if that means just a small shift in perspective.

Because obstacles will always present themselves, the hardest obstacle of all is developing a way of living, a way of practicing your approach to life that allows you to keep a healthy perspective on things.

A little misery, at times, makes one appreciate happiness more.

Life gives no one immunity against adversity, but life gives to everyone the power of positive thought which is sufficient to master all circumstances of adversity and convert them into benefits.

Everything in my life is in perspective. OK, perspective ebbs and flows. I've had bad days, but they weren't in the last years. A bad day is 2 October 1996: 'We've got bad news for you, you've got advanced testicular cancer and you've got a coin's toss chance of survival.' That's a bad day.

It has been said that life has treated me harshly; and sometimes I have complained in my heart because many pleasures of human experience have been withheld from me...if much has been denied me, much, very much, has been given me.

We shouldn't deny the pain of what happens in our lives. We should just refuse to focus only on the valleys.

As life becomes harder and more threatening, it also becomes richer, because the fewer expectations we have, the more good things of life become unexpected gifts that we accept with gratitude.

A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless, than one that always verges on despair.
