Life gets tougher as we grow old. As adults, there are times when we will feel down. We think to ourselves, “Is this all there is to it?”
The answer is no.
This is not all there is to it. There is something more and you’ve got to keep living for it. Things can be rather difficult, but once you achieve your goal, life becomes better.
It may seem cliché to tell you to keep fighting and live your dreams, but that is what we all have to do. As trivial as it may sound, the only way to happiness and success is to work your way to it.
In this article, we want to help boost your morale by providing free coloring pages for adults that are inspirational and motivational. We have carefully selected pages we feel are powerful enough to push you to reach your potential.
Let’s get to it!

1. Peace comes from within.
We can only achieve true happiness once we are at peace. To achieve that peace, we need to remind ourselves every day that even if life is tough, a time will come when everything will fall into its proper place. Find your peace and live a life full of freedom and happiness.
2. Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.
You own your world and are your own master. No matter what happens, never let anyone tell you otherwise. No one can ever taint your spirit or shatter your sparks.
3. Whatever you are, be a good one.
We all want to become someone successful and significant. We dream of becoming a person who can change the world. But it is important to remember that success is not always the same as fame. Whoever, whatever, and wherever you are, make sure to give it your best shot.
4. The power of imagination makes us infinite.
Our minds are capable of unlimited imagination and creativity. Let your mind wander into the depths of your wisdom and experience. You never know what great ideas are hiding inside that brain of yours.
5. Slow down.
Life seems to always be moving. People keep rushing around, trying to achieve everything all at once. But don’t forget that it is OK to take a break every once in a while. It is perfectly alright to slow down and breathe a little. Rest if you must, but never quit.
6. Dance, love, sing, and love.
This is one of our favorite quotes. It reminds us to be happy and live as if nobody is watching. We live on borrowed time and our lives can end at any time. The memories we create and the moments we share are forever.
7. Nobody is ever too old to dream.
As we said earlier, it is never too late to build new dreams or pursue long-forgotten ones. You can be what you want to be.
8. If you can’t control it, let it go.
We have said before that if you can’t control it, then you have to learn to go with it. But what if, no matter how much you adjust, you just can’t control it? All you have to do is let go. There is no point in fighting for what seems to be impossible. If it’s not for you, then there is probably something better that is.
9. Progress, not perfection.
Most of the time, we feel pressured and rushed. We look at the world and we feel like everyone is progressing while we are standing still. We often forget that everyone has their own challenges. Don’t compare yourself with others. Progress is still progress, no matter how slow.
10. You are amazing!
Here is an inspiring affirmation for your personal development. No matter what other people say, always remind yourself that you are amazing. Don’t let the haters destroy your faith. You are brilliant, magnificent, and phenomenal.
11. Progress is progress, no matter how small.
Progress is still progress, no matter how slow or small. You are destined for greatness. Work at your own pace and don’t let the world pressure you. Victory is sweetest when you are aware of how hard you have worked for it.
12. It’s OK not to be OK.
Life is not always easy. There are times when luck runs out and you fall and fail. During those times, it is perfectly fine to feel devastated and sad. Cry if you want; get angry if you must. Your feelings are valid and you don’t have to hide them.
13. Life is about creating yourself.
We have all been given the chance to create the lives we want. Don’t waste your time waiting for something that might never happen. Create your own story.
14. Let me adjust my crown and get the day started.

15. Success is about making a positive change.
Success is measured by the number of helpful deeds you have done and the number of lives you have touched. Life is all about creating a significant change in the world.
16. Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
You are unique and and destined to do great things with your abilities. Don’t try to fit in when you can stand out instead. Be your own person and let your personality grow.
17. Live your dreams.
Ever since we were young, we have been told to follow and live our dreams. This is still true today. Regardless of your age or status, it is never too late to pursue your dreams and live in happiness.
18. When life gives you lemons, sell them to buy wine.
Life is sometimes about learning how to adjust and adapt. Failure is inevitable, and you have to learn to deal with it. So when the universe throws rocks at you, don’t let it shake your foundation. Be resourceful and find a way to take advantage of the situation.
19. Inhale courage, exhale fear.
Here is a simple quote that tells you what to do whenever you are faced with a difficult situation. You need to inhale all the courage you can muster and exhale all the fears you’ve been holding onto. This is how you will prepare yourself for the battle that is yet to come.
20. Enjoy the little things.
Happiness is sometimes hidden in the simplest of things. There is already so much for you to handle in this life as an adult, so whenever possible, enjoy the little things. You will ultimately find yourself taking on the big problems in the easiest manner possible.
21. If you can dream it, you can do it.
It is no coincidence that the most successful people once dreamed of changing the world. Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin—they didn’t just create their masterpieces out of nowhere. They dreamed of it, and you can too. Whatever those dreams are, if you can visualize them, you can accomplish them.
22. I am not defined by my scars.
Your scars don’t define you, but they are a part of who you are. They are a symbol of your strength. They don’t represent failure, only the fact that you are someone who has endured.

34. Your mistakes don’t define you.
Your mistakes do not define you. Rather, they are proof of the long process you have gone through. Failures and mistakes define your path to success, not you as an individual.
35. Stop resisting. Start creating.

47. It’s ok to not be ok.
Sometimes you just have to let those emotions out. Be angry if you must; cry if you need to. You are human, and you bleed and hurt just like everyone else.
