Blow away your worries and doubts! Short phrases that lift your spirits and make you feel positive (31–40)
Opportunity lies in the midst of adversity.Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is often hailed as the greatest physicist of the 20th century, known for proposing theories such as relativity.
He was a singular genius who authored numerous papers that can be considered the foundation of modern science.
The words introduced here reflect his motto-like approach to research: “What seems unsolvable is precisely what is worth challenging.” Following in the footsteps of Einstein, who achieved so much, why not take on challenges yourselves?
Hope is the faith that leads us to success.Madame Curie
Let me introduce a quote by the Polish physicist and scientist Maria Skłodowska-Curie: “Hope is the faith that leads us to success.” In Japan, she is well known as Madame Curie.
When you are striving toward your dreams and goals, accidents or failures can sometimes make you stop in your tracks.
It’s precisely at such times that we should remember the hope Madame Curie speaks of.
That’s because hope is the core within us that enables us to keep moving forward even in difficult situations.
It also serves as the driving force to realize our dreams and achieve our goals.
When things aren’t going as you wish, why not take another look at your hope?
If you can take one step, you can take another.Todd Skinner
When you try to start something, it’s often hard to take that very first step.
But once you do, things can surprisingly start to go smoothly.
Even so, many people find it difficult to take that first step, even though they understand this in their heads.
In such moments, I want you to remember these words—from Todd Skinner, an American free climber.
He climbed countless cliffs in the extremely demanding world of free climbing.
Surely, even in moments of fear, he told himself “Just take the first step,” and with that initial move, he scaled sheer faces hundreds of meters high.
Create your own place to belong.Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs, known as the co-founder of the global giant Apple, is the man who brought the Mac, iPhone, and iPad to the world—products that can be said to have helped spread internet culture worldwide.
Even after his passing, he continues to wield significant influence in the business world.
The phrase “Create your own place” is said to be something he spoke after being fired from Apple once.
He then went on to found Pixar Animation Studios, which produced Toy Story, and later returned to Apple to serve as CEO—giving his words a unique persuasiveness born of experience.
God will properly prepare the future.Kazuo Inamori
If you keep a positive attitude and persevere, a path may open up no matter the situation.
Here is a famous quote from Kazuo Inamori, founder of Kyocera and KDDI: “God properly prepares the future for us.” When you take on something new or pursue your goals and dreams, you may feel a lot of anxiety.
But if you give your all, opportunities can come your way.
This quote conveys courage and hope, doesn’t it? Before the quote comes the line: “To those who never lose their brightness and keep making an effort.” Striving toward your goals and dreams is truly noble and wonderful.
However, if you work hard with a gloomy expression and look like you’re suffering, that effort won’t last.
Perhaps the trick to seizing opportunities is to work hard with a bright spirit and enjoy the process.

Only one thing is needed: to believe you can do it.Anthony Robbins
Anthony Robbins, a world-renowned self-improvement coach, has left behind so many memorable quotes that collections of them have even been published.
There’s no doubt his words have encouraged countless people.
Among them, this quote emphasizes the importance of believing you can do it.
When you believe in your ability, you come to appreciate the value of finding creative ways to proceed and steadily putting in the effort, which nurtures a spirit that doesn’t give up.
And by continuing to take action, you may also achieve results.
Let these words of wisdom be a companion to your heart as you walk through life.
There is no piece that cannot move forward.Makoto Nakahara
In shogi, while there are pieces that can move backward, it’s said there are none that can’t move forward.
Each piece advances in its own way—one step diagonally or straight—always moving ahead.
Isn’t that true for people as well? This idea is captured in the famous quote by professional shogi player Makoto Nakahara: “There is no piece that cannot move forward.” Thinking that anything in daily life can lead to progress gives us energy and motivation.
It’s the kind of phrase that gives you a push when you’re trying something new or facing difficulties.
