I can’t imagine going through life without some powerful quotes. Quotes that make me realize how important I am to this world. I mean, I do forget sometimes that I matter to society and that people care about me. Also, it’s refreshing finding quotes that tell me how to avoid the negative attitudes from some people, because even though people are our number one supporters they can also be our number one enemy. These quotes just help remind me that I am worth more than I believe I am and also help me stay sane and not pass hatred towards others.
My first time reading this quote I had to make some readjustment in my life because I was guilty of speaking on problems when I’m not in the right mindset to. We need to understand that we should be comfortable and confident with our self-image and not place others below us regardless of the circumstances. No matter the circumstances of our day, it’s better to remain quiet than to address something with harsh manners.
I love this quote because it made me realize that I was dwelling on the past too much. Many people do that; we get stuck in “what was” rather than “what is”. See, “what is” is something that is happening in front of our eyes, but sometimes we are so blinded by the past we forget to close that door. Closing the door isn’t always a bad thing to do, it may seem hard but it’s worth it to better yourself. This quote reminds us that in order to move to the next phase in life we need to leave behind the “what was”.
If you are someone who wants to stay motivated because you have a goal that you are trying to reach, then this quote is for you. Sometimes we should remember that the people we keep around as company also determine our energy. If you hang around people with negative thinking, there’s likely a chance that you’ll start thinking that way. What’s scary is that you won’t even notice that you’re doing it because that’s what you are around all the time. That’s why it’s good to keep in mind who you surround yourself with in order to make sure you succeed.
This next quote is simple yet so meaningful. There are going to be people in this world that will tell you that you can’t achieve certain goals that you have for yourself. You should realize that these people are only saying this because at a certain point in their life, someone else told them the same thing. Or, they’re saying this because they tried to achieve what you’re trying to achieve and they couldn’t. So, instead of them accepting that they failed, they’ll try to put their fears on you. When someone tells you that you can’t do something don’t listen to them, but instead do it anyways.
I love this quote because I have gotten to a point in my life where credits from others don’t matter. We should be able to do things because it brings us happiness not because others will praise us for getting it done. Now there’s nothing wrong with getting praise from other people, but it shouldn’t be your main reason why you want to achieve things.
