For as long as I can remember, I have always loved quotes. My bedroom is filled with canvases of quotes that describe me as a person. From inspirational, love, ones about life, you name it. I could spend hours on Pinterest reading various quotes and finding ones that are relatable to me. There is just something so amazing about reading words that seem to describe something you have been through or something you are currently experiencing, and I think it’s such a beautiful thing being able to connect with those words. Everybody has their own favorite quotes to live by. Here is a little dose of inspiration to get you through whatever you are facing at this moment.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou
People come in and out of your life on a daily basis. But every individual that enters your life has had something to provide to you. Even the smallest act of kindness can go such a long way with a person. You truly never know what someone may be battling with, so it is very important to be respectful and kind to everyone you encounter.
“Do what is right for you, no one else in walking in your shoes.” - Unknown
Things are constantly changing. From day-to-day we may not notice, but as you look back over the course of a couple years, you realize things have indeed changed. People you thought were going to be there forever aren’t, and people you never imagined you would be speaking to are some of your closest friends. Life is short, so make the most of what you have and never forget to smile. This is your life and don’t let anyone else tell you how to live it.
“There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” - C.S. Lewis
The past can bring up some dark memories, but focusing on the future is the key to success. You have two options, you can either run from your past, or learn from it. However, it is important to move forward because there are always better things ahead of you. Remember that each day brings new excitement and opportunities.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi
The world we live in has its flaw and imperfections. The truth of the matter is that in a world full of struggles, there is always ways to improve and evolve. So be that change you want to see in the world and provide a lending hand. So why not be the one to make it happen?
“If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place.” -Nora Roberts
It is incredibly easy to give up when things get hard, and there is the temptation to cut corners and go through life doing just the bare minimum to get by. No matter if it does seem worth it, always give a full effort with everything you do. Hard work pays off.
“Life is short, live it. Love is rare, grab it. Anger is bad, dump it. Fear is awful, face it. Memories are sweet, cherish it.” - Unknown
