Inspirational quotes from Dolly Parton on love, life and happiness

The icon that was Dolly Parton, sadly passed away last week, so I thought I'd share some of the inspirational quotes that she shared during her life.

As someone who regularly listens to music and has an interest in various music genres, I've always enjoyed listening to Dolly Parton's songs. Particularly, Jolene and Light of a Clear Blue Morning.

I first discovered Dolly Parton whilst watching Hannah Montana on Disney Channel when I was in primary school. And since then, I've always enjoyed her music; I've followed her as a Dallas Cowboys fan and have found her inspiring, especially with the Imagination Library.

So, to pay tribute to the legend that she was, I thought I'd share some of my favourite quotes that Dolly Parton shared throughout her life on all things love, life, happiness, and more.

“You have to work at being happy. Some people work at being miserable. If I wake up in the morning and don’t feel great or things are not great, I try to think about what I can do to make things work better, rather than just falling into that deep hole, because then you just go deeper and deeper."
