A positive life = a happy life (even in quarantine).
By Destiny Duprey — Written on Apr 17, 2020
Gratitude. A simple, yet powerful word that goes largely unnoticed in the dictionary. A word most of us are unfamiliar with because we allow negativity and suffering into our lives.
Once one domino falls, it seems as though hundreds fall follow and it causes us to crumble at their very plummet. But what is life without the obstacles we face? Or the roadblocks we encounter when the route we thought was right, was wrong all along?
Now, with the coronavirus pandemic and being quarantined at home, it is a time where many of us are scrambling for answers as to why a global pandemic has struck our communities, families, and friends.
The virus, which originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has caused hundreds of thousands of people to remain locked inside of their homes to combat the spread. It's hard to stay inspired with all this uncertainty looming around us, but creating positive letter board quotes in your home can help remind you to look at the bright side of things.

With government officials extending stay-at-home orders by another 30+ days, the growing stress is causing mass panic and outrage. There is a lot of chaos and fear in our world right now, but there is no reason to abandon ship and lose hope.
Once we begin to lose touch with the positive aspects of life and ourselves, that is when everything around us seems to be crumbling. Now is the time to reconnect with yourself despite all that is happening.
A lot of people have been posting videos on social media of them starting new creative journeys such as painting, bullet-journaling, learning to produce music, and so much more. Another thing to do to pass the time and bring some cheer into your life is reading inspirational books or looking for positive quotes to bring your mood up.
Luckily for you, I have compiled a list of the best positive letter board quotes to live by to help you get through this slum in one piece (at least mentally). Life may have been paused for the moment, but it does not mean we have to stop living.
