Here are some cool quotes that I will break down on how I view them. Remember, everyone has their take on quotes. Take whatever goodness you can from them and add your own as well. Enjoy!
Teachers, mentors, and influencers can open the door for you but you must do the work yourself. I like this quote because many of us just take so much for granted. We have to push ourselves every day to do the right things for our lives. Self-discipline is key to being able to get through the door. You have to will yourself forward to become successful. Remember, success starts from the inside. Let’s get there and then anything else would be considered a really good bonus. Also, please teach others.
In this image, we see two donkeys tied to each other and there is hay on opposite sides of them. Each wants to go to their side as the line tightens and won’t let them go anywhere. They struggle and struggle which turns into a tug-of-war that ultimately ends with them not reaching either end. They are hungry and they just want to take care of themselves.
Suddenly they realize that if they both work as a team they can move together and reach one side with the food. They promptly go to one side and share the food and then go to the other side to finish the food. It is much better to work as a team and help each other out instead of going it alone and resisting. Be a part of the bigger picture whether you are bound to someone or not. LOL
Now this quote I believe is very important for anyone going through a lot of crazy stuff. To me, I believe that the “storms” are the negative things we go through in life. The tough stuff if you will. If we can find the positivity in the negativity, we are well on our way to strengthening ourselves. Evolving and growing is what we should be doing daily. Also, we need to learn from our mistakes and try to not dwell on them.
This one is a good one and I truly love helping and watching my peers grow. Let’s not get lost in jealousy of those who have gotten to levels that we want. Each one, teach one! I still believe we are all here to help each other out in whatever way we can. I help you, you help me, and then we can help others. When you see someone down please help them up. It feels good and it is good. Pass it on!
Master Yoda always said that really good questions can inspire people and help them to think more deeply about a subject, which can lead to answers that have substance. It really does help people think about possibilities and analyze things instead of just regurgitating facts. Thought-provoking questions can help you learn more and understand problems better. Let’s get better questions!
To better ourselves we must learn and grow, we must evolve into a new version of ourselves. Many people become complacent as they get older. They feel that they have already learned all there is to learn. They don’t understand the value of internal growth. Internal growth is a process that is good for us ongoing not for just a few months but for always. We should all strive for good and healthy growth as our beautiful butterfly above! Looks drunk though so kind of concerned now. LOL Please drink responsibly and don’t let the alcohol turn you into a drunk. Real talk!
I don’t like using the word someday. It was in my vocabulary many moons ago and it seemed when I used it things just kept getting further away from me. That is why I created something I call, “100 Things.” I heard way too many people saying that they had all these cool things that they wanted to do before they died which is called, “The Bucket List.” That someday list rarely ever gets taken seriously and rarely gets completed. I do my very best to accomplish as many things as I can sooner rather than later. The 100 Things list is my action list. That’s how I like to view it and it helps me do the things that I want sooner. Things happen, but when you have a good mindset you are more likely to do them. Go get your dreams and start working on them this week.
So many things happen to us day in and day out and it is up to us on how we view them. If we perceive things as really bad they will be very bad. We will always have stress and sadness to deal with but it’s how long we sit with them that makes the difference. Find the goodness around you as much as you can. When you think that you have it bad, stop for a moment and realize that someone out there has it way worse than you do and they are actually praying to be exactly where you are now. Makes you think, huh?!
