Quote When Life Gets Tough Novels & Stories

Gross! "Fine. Take all the time you need, princess" she mocked. Why is she mocking me? I have the good sense to turn around, enter my car and just…yes! Finally, I got the right speech. "Well, life is not fair, Aniston and unfair things happen to people all the time. But we don't throw in the towel. Instead we suck it up and keep pushing" I clenched my fist in solidarity. Aniston narrowed her eyes on me. "Did you seriously just quote Coach Richardson from that movie 'boys on fire'? How dumb do you think I am?"

Chapter 43 - Mia Lauren "Nobody hits you as hard as life, but not as hard as you can hit yourself. It doesn't matter how hard you hit, but how much you can take and keep fighting; how much you can endure and keep moving forward. That's what victory is made of." - Rocky Balboa

I snap. “You want to know what helps me get through a difficult situation that I might not be entirely enthused about?” She doesn’t give me a chance to answer before she bursts into song, “Some things in life are bad, they can really make you mad. Other things just make you swear and curse. When you’re chewing on life’s gristle, don’t grumble, give a whistle! And this’ll help things turn out for the best: Always look on the bright side of life, always look on the light side of life . . . ’”

I exasperatedly asked him "I know we may start out at the wrong reasons but I know we can make this work." He shook his head and gave me a sad smile "I will only be using you and your company Señorita, you deserve a man who will cherish and love you, and I cannot be that man." My shoulders slumped "She has done you a toll." He nodded gravely, looking away at the skyscrapers on the window. Standing up, I stood next to him and slowly cupped his chin to make him stare at me "I remember a man once told me that the only think you can do when life gives you lemons is to move forward. She may ruin your life but what you do to get out of that rubble is what defines you."

'Just for today, smile a little more. Just for today, ask someone how he or she is really doing. Just for today, remember, while some may have it better than you do, there are others whom definitely have it worse than you! Just for today, just let go, just for today. Good times are a reminder and a reward for dealing with the difficult and challenging times we all go through. The trick is to celebrate the good times in advance of the difficult times. Always remember, good times await you after the difficult times pass.'

I fold m arms and raise my brow. “Get in, you have to face the unbearable moments of defeat the unknown.” He lectures. Really? This is how he wants me to face the unbearable. I think I’ve managed to face the unbearable when he rejected me the other night. I shook my head and tried to forget about the jerk he was. “Get in. The moment you get used to the cold, then you can face anything that’s coming your way,” he said with confidence, but I’m not so sure. I removed my shoes and jacket.

As the interview came to an end, the interviewer turned to Inara and asked, "What message do you have for other young women who may be facing similar challenges?" Inara took a deep breath and spoke directly into the camera. " When Life throws Lemons at you, make Lemonade with them. You know,I had a bit of tough Adolescent life.” She said and paused, swallowing hard, her eyes forming tears. I could see them. “But I moved past it, and here I am today. Don't be afraid to speak up and take action. Your voice matters, and your actions can make a difference. It's not easy, but it's worth it.” She said with a small smile.

Plus, the last thing I want is a round two. I force my upper body up the ground, leaning both my arms folded on my spread open knees. Every inch of my body feels like it’s on fire. The pain is aggravating yet I’m trying to get my act together. In a world where only you have got your back, never show weakness. That’s a quote I learnt from the asshole of a mother I had. Man, I’m so glad I got both my parents killed. I take a deep breath and stare at my environment, soaking the beautiful view.

That would cheer me up no end. For the hundredth time since it happened, I glared at my phone that was sitting on the side. “Worthless piece of crap!” I muttered. What was the point in paying all that money if you couldn’t use the damn thing in a life or death situation? I’d missed out on probably the best phone call of my life, all because of a stupid piece of plastic and glass, and instead I was scarred for life and will probably never be able to look my mother in the eye again.

“That fucking sucks.” She laughed so hard a bit of wine sloshed over the side of her glass. “Yeah, that’s the helping professions for you. And life. Everything sucks until you die.” I sucked in a deep breath and rolled over. “Just like trauma, I guess. It’ll never go away, but you learn to live with it.” “I’ll drink to that.” Lauren raised her glass. I knocked my half-empty one against hers. “Thank you, you know. I never could’ve done any of this without you.”
