When you're feeling down, remember these: words that can save you in tough times (11–20)
Love the life you live. Live the life you love.Bob Marley
Bob Marley, known as the “God of Reggae,” created numerous beloved songs.
His words inspire us to cherish our own lives.
What can we do to walk a path that we can truly love? I believe it starts with valuing each day and living it to the fullest.
The more carefully you treat your days, the more value they gain, and the more a feeling of love for your life will well up inside you.
If you feel your life is dull and not fun, begin by slightly shifting your daily perspective and treasuring every minute and every second.
As you continue, you’ll find yourself able to love your life—just like Bob Marley.
A woman who has cried enough tears to wash her eyes gains a wider field of vision.Dorothy Dix
For those of you who are hurting so much you can’t help but shed many tears, I recommend these words.
This quote from Dorothy Dix, who made her mark as a journalist and columnist, lets a ray of hope shine into the deepest darkness.
When times are tough, it’s okay to cry.
Crying a lot can leave you feeling refreshed, and once your heart feels lighter, you’ll start to see things differently.
Don’t hold back—cry as much as you need, and when you’ve shed all your tears, lift your head and face forward!
It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp, an actor counted among the world’s biggest movie stars who made an unforgettable impact in films like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
His famous quote, “It’s just a bad day, not a bad life,” can help soothe a heavy heart.
In painful or difficult times, we tend to feel as though our entire life isn’t paying off, but if we can remember that there are good days and bad days, we can reset our mindset.
It’s a heartwarming quote that gives us the courage to face tomorrow.
If you want to see a rainbow, you have to put up with a little rain.Dolly Parton
Dolly Parton, a singer-songwriter hailed as a leading figure in country music, is active in many fields as an actor, author, business owner, and humanitarian.
Her famous quote, “If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain,” has likely struck a chord with many people.
When hard and painful times drag on, we can lose heart, overwhelmed by a sense of hopelessness with no exit in sight.
Yet this quote delivers a positive message: if you get through it, you’ll be rewarded with a beautiful view.
Being alive itself is, by nature, happiness.Kazlaser
In this age overflowing with information on social media, seeing someone else’s seemingly fun life can make you feel like you have nothing, or leave you discouraged by comparison.
But if you think about it, simply getting through today safely, or enjoying a good meal—those small joys and learnings, accumulated day by day, are valuable in their own right.
What matters is not comparing yourself to others, but paying attention to what kind of day you had today, what you felt, and what you did.
By doing so, your heart will gradually become calmer, and you’ll be able to appreciate the very fact of being alive and notice the small happinesses in your life.
Humans will end up happy anyway.Kazlaser
There are movies that don’t end with a happy ending, right? How many can you name? I dislike stories that don’t end happily—I simply won’t read, watch, or listen to them.
Depending on how you take it, I think Kazlaser’s words here can sound quite cruel, because there are people who, no matter what, can’t feel happy.
But try prefacing it with “Even so,” and then read the line: “Humans are bound to end up happy anyway.” Doesn’t it even bring Kaz’s smile to mind? It’s something I want you to remember when you feel like you’re about to lose heart.

If it’s going to get you so down, you might as well toss away the source of your dissatisfaction.Tina Turner
Tina Turner, an American singer known as the Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll with numerous accolades to her name, once said, “If it’s going to get you down, just toss out what’s bothering you.” For those who are constantly weighed down by worries, this quote may be eye-opening.
The idea of cutting off anything that backs you into a corner might be essential for enriching your life.
Whether psychological or physical, it’s a message that reminds us of the importance of choosing what to keep and what to let go.
