Life has its ups and downs, and getting bogged down is normal. But when life gives you a sore trial, channeling your energy to make the next stride is critical.

Are you feeling stuck and can't think of a smart fix for your situation? If you're confused about what to do, you can draw inspiration from these ten powerful quotes.

1. Take Baby Steps

Moving forward, regardless of your pace, is a smart move when things seem hard. Start with small steps, and eventually, you will find yourself making giant leaps.

"Life is a series of baby steps."

says Hoda Kotb

2. Start With Loving Yourself

Loving yourself is simple in theory but difficult to practice. The first thing we do whenever times get hard is to abandon ourselves and resort to self-blame. You have to learn the art of self-love if you want to make progress.

"Love yourself first and everything else falls into line."

says Lucille Ball

3. Appreciate The Good In Your Life

Appreciation is significant if you want to achieve more. Knowing the value of what you have and being grateful for it makes way for more. Learn to cherish all the great things you have, and soon they will multiply.

"Every day is not a success. Every year is not a success. You have to celebrate the good."

says Reese Witherspoon

4. Believe In Magic

Believing in the possibility of even the most impossible things working out is an art only a few have mastered. Believe it, work for it, and then you'll have it because you will never know if you never try.

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

says Roald Dahl

5. Live Your Dreams

You have to be a dreamer if you want to achieve something in life. Visualization is a powerful technique in manifesting your goals and desires. Give life to your dreams and enjoy the ride because it's about the journey and not just the destination.

"The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams."

says Oprah Winfrey

6. Helping Others

Learn the kind yet the straightforward act of helping others. Ease their misery and pain, and it will give you sheer joy, peace, and comfort in return. If you do good to others, you will also be rewarded in ways you never thought possible.

"Life's most persistent and urgent question is, "What are you doing for others?"

says Martin Luther King, Jr.

7. Failures Lead To Success

Maybe we don't believe in this cliched statement, but it's true. If you've never fallen in life, you can't understand the value of getting back up. It would be best if you did not let the fear of failure keep you from trying again.

"I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed."

says Michael Jordan

8. Accepting Yourself

Anyone going through a dark time would agree that self-abandonment is a likely consequence in such situations. It's imperative to realize that nobody will see our worth if we can't see it for ourselves. Self-acceptance and self-love are the first steps to getting anywhere in life.

"Embrace the glorious mess that you are."

says Elizabeth Gilbert

9. Start Here, Start Now

You cannot change the past because it's something that has already happened. Instead of trying to undo what's already been done, focus your energy on fixing the present. Making amends now will lead you to a better future.

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."

says C.S. Lewis

10. Love Your Life

Anyone who wants their life to get better should start with appreciating it. If you're always lamenting and cursing your life, more mess will follow you. Change your mindset to turn around your life.

"I have found that if you love life, life will love you back."

says Arthur Rubinstein
