I love a good quote because it can relate to your situation or make you change your situation. I believe that sometimes we all get stuck and sometimes it’s hard to know what to do; it’s funny because when it comes to other people’s problems we somehow know all the right things to say. That’s why I love a good quote because it’s like advice to ourselves. Sometimes we need to take our own advice and the love that we give to others we need to give to ourselves. Here are my favourite quotes and why I love them…
“Let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile”
This is so true; we can get so caught up in the world’s problems, other people’s problems and even our problems that we let it bring us down. There is so much bitterness, hate and discrimination in the world and society today that it’s so easy to get caught up in it and not know what to believe. We are constantly bombarded with information from our parents, TV, social media and other influences that we sometimes believe it and get pushed into the system. Make your own mind up about things, be your own person. If you don’t agree with something don’t just go on and believe it because you think you have to. We all have a voice so use it, let the world hear what you have to say because you are just as important as anybody else. Make people smile with your different nature and heart; don’t be the same because at the end of the day the people who are remembered are the ones that refused to fit in.
“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations”
I can’t emphasise how true this is; we all have been through difficult situations and some of us may still be there but just think back to a time where you were in a difficult situation, and now look how far you have come from that. When you’re experiencing a difficult time it can seem like it will never end and this will just be your life but I’m a big believer in fate and things happening for a reason and I know if I hadn’t been through half the hell I went through I definitely wouldn’t be the person I am today. You can look back and be bitter but that does nothing, you need to experience some things in your life to grow and become happier. Oh and trust me that beautiful destination is really worth it and I’m not saying that there won’t be a few ups and downs because that’s life, it happens to everyone. The secret to all of it is how far your willing to brave it to get what you want. You’re going to be shit on a million times but if you have that vision then you will make it.
“You can’t start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading the last one”
This is so true because you can look back at all the people who have done you wrong and you can hate them and you probably are entitled to considering what they have done to you, but what good is that doing. You’re not hurting them, you’re just hurting yourself. I genuinely wish the people who have done me wrong the best. There is no point wishing others hate, karma will sort that out. You just have to get on with your own life and focus on you and nobody else. Forget the ones who forgot you they really aren’t worth it. Just learn from your past and move on. Don’t worry what others think about you because that’s none of your business; just work on making yourself happy and the people you care about. The rest doesn’t matter.
These quotes are so true and I constantly remind of them when I feel low. You have got to not let things bother you so much and just focus on creating your amazing life. I hope you all take on some of this advice, I even need to take on some of this advice lol. We are all human, we bleed the same colour, we all have feelings so be nice to one another because life’s to short for grudges and hate and if that’s the only thing you take away from this post I will be happy because no one knows what anyone is going through so please just BE NICE! Life is one big learning curve so don’t worry too much because at the end of the day it really doesn’t matter if things go wrong, just learn from them.
Lots love and happiness
