A must-see for those who just can’t stay positive! Uplifting quotes to cheer up a discouraged heart (31–40)
Beneath mud and earth lies solid rock; above clouds and mist shines the sun. At the height of discontent, there is still fortune, nor is hope absent.Kanzo Uchimura
I would like to introduce a famous saying by Kanzo Uchimura: “Beneath the mud lies bedrock; above the clouds and mist shines the sun.
Even at the height of complaint, happiness and hope are not absent.” Kanzo Uchimura was a Christian thinker active in the Meiji era.
Disasters can bring many hardships.
At such times, Uchimura left words he hoped we would remember.
It is said to mean that even when times are painful and difficult now, a stable and bright future surely awaits beyond.
He likens difficult situations to mud, and the bedrock represents the strength within us that lies beneath these serious problems.
Furthermore, he tells us that even when we feel or voice complaints, happiness and hope still exist.
Life brings all kinds of experiences, doesn’t it? Even so, we are reminded of the importance of maintaining a positive outlook.
Limits never existed from the start. You only believe they do.Lady Gaga
When you’re challenging yourself, there always comes a moment when you feel you’ve hit a limit and it’s hard to go any further—and you may struggle with how to push past it.
Here are Lady Gaga’s words, which offer a way of thinking about the limits everyone feels on the path of challenge and convey the possibility of further growth.
She tells us that limits are born from assumptions and don’t truly exist—that we only believe they’re there, and that we actually have the power to overcome them.
These words shatter the very notion of limits, which often lead to giving up, and give us a positive force to keep moving forward.
Life is like a broken bone: the place that broke becomes stronger.Chihara Junior
As we go through life, we experience many moments when our hearts break, and each time we may feel like giving up on what we’ve been pursuing.
Focusing on this notion of a broken heart, here are the words of Junior Chihara, which convey how it can affect our future lives.
He says that having your heart broken is similar to a bone fracture: just as bones become stronger after they heal, there are parts of the heart that grow stronger through being broken.
If we can believe that a broken heart isn’t only a negative thing, we may be able to shift our mindset in a more positive direction.
98% of our worries are needless.Masahiro Fujimura
This is one of the messages shared by marketing consultant Masahiro Fujimura on his blog and social media.
He says it comes from his own experience, and that there’s no benefit to filling your head with worries.
Incidentally, according to research introduced in the book “99.9% Are Amateurs at Happiness,” only 13% of the things people worry about actually happen, and 80% of those can be resolved by the individuals themselves.
That means only about 3% are worries we can’t do anything about.
In other words, science also shows that most of the things we worry about never come to pass.
If you keep looking down, you won’t find a rainbow.Charlie Chaplin
This is a famous quote by the film actor and comedian Charlie Chaplin.
It comes from the lyrics of Swing Little Girl, a song in the film The Circus, which Chaplin starred in and directed.
When we’re feeling down or troubled, we tend to look down without even realizing it.
If you recall these words at such times, I think they can prompt you to lift your head.
Why not renew your resolve and take a step forward?

Just because you’ve been beaten down doesn’t mean you have to get discouraged. Even after all that beating and whipping, eggs still make a cake rise.Mary Johnston
Mary Johnston was an American author.
Because she was in poor health, she couldn’t attend school, and her bed became her classroom, so to speak.
At sixteen she enrolled in a music school, but quit after three months; she lost her mother and moved repeatedly—in short, judging from the story alone, her adolescence seems to have been a bit removed from a happy circumstance, doesn’t it? After becoming a writer, however, she produced hits, and Audrey was the fifth best-selling book in the United States in 1902.
Her words embody the classic spirit of “never giving up.” They’re the kind of words you’d want to post by your front door and see every day.
You can just be yourself.Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa, a Catholic nun whose work is known for being spread around the world by generations of younger sisters.
Her famous quote, “Be yourself,” is a message that makes us feel seen and accepted.
Many people tend to compare themselves with others and focus only on where they fall short.
However, if we can value being true to ourselves, we may be able to bounce back even when we feel down.
It’s a quote that gently encourages and heals a wounded heart.
