5 wise quotes that will make you think
Quote #1
“Grown men don’t cry, growing men do.”
-Unknown
I’m not sure when the stigma against men crying and showing emotion began, but I think it is one of the most detrimental things to happen to our world.
Human beings are emotional creatures, so whoever decided that men should deny who they innately are, is a complete and utter idiot.
Feeling emotions and crying are sure signs that we’re evolving as human beings. Men should be celebrated and not shamed for this!
Quote #2
“So much of my life was a reaction to a reaction”
-Unknown
I’ve always been very reactive in my relationships. I’m learning that it’s okay not to react to everything that is said to me.
Most of the time when people are saying things that are offensive to me, it has more to do with them than with me. My life becomes more peaceful when I don’t take things personally.
There are still days that people get under my skin, but it’s okay because I’m striving for progress, not perfection!
Quote #3
“You are never to old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.”
C.S. Lewis
I believe wholeheartedly that age is just a number. You are only as old as you feel. I think the older we get the more we have to offer the world.
The experience and wisdom that comes from living life expand the more life we live.
It’s never too late to go after and achieve our dreams. I think it’s easier the older we get because we have an arsenal of life experiences to help us along the way! So keep on dreaming!
Quote #4
“Gratitude can change common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.”
-William A. Ward
I believe that being grateful can change our lives. When we focus on the abundance in our lives instead of what we lack, our lives become better.
I’ve been trying to wake up every morning grateful for the day ahead, and I’m finding it makes all the difference!
Quote #5
“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it.”
-Eckhart Tolle
This is a revolutionary concept to me and it is more difficult than it sounds. I am working hard to incorporate this idea into my life.
I have found that my life is easier and more peaceful when I can accept what is happening in the present moment instead of fighting it.
By not resisting and getting out of the way, life has a way of unfolding in the most wonderful ways!
These are quotes that mean a lot to me. I hope that you find them inspirational and helpful on your journey of self-discovery!
