The potential impact of positive quotes.

Positive quotes are an elixir for the soul. When the right quote appears at the right time, it can pull someone up from the depths.

There is such a thing as “excessive positivity,” though. If positive quotes are thrown around like candy, they won’t always resonate.

Look through good positive quotes to find the ones that resonate with you, personally. Think about the people behind the quotes, too. One might be more meaningful if it comes from a figure you admire.

Exercise: Use the right positive quotes in the right places.
