Quotes pt 5

I am back with another part. Hopefully, you like these ones because these are probably some of my favorites. Enjoy.

1. “Never regret a day in your life: good days give happiness, bad days give experience, worst days give lessons and best days give memories.”

- Every day, we learn something, we experience something. Never regret that, experience is knowledge

- So, what if your day did not go that well, never live your life with regrets. There is beauty in pain, find that. Life’s too short to even care at all (It is a line from one of my favourite songs). Live as the days come

2. “One of the most bittersweet feelings has to be when you realize how much you are going to miss a moment while you’re still living it.”

- Sometimes do you ever just stop for a second and take in the entire moment, knowing that you might never live it again

- That’s why they say live in the moment. Not everything can be captured through a camera

3. “The biggest communication problem is we do not listen to understand. We listen to reply.”

- This is so important. One of the main reasons we as humans fail to communicate with each other

- If someone is going through something we tend to think- we don’t know how to reply to this but we never stop to understand what someone is going through

- Sometimes you just need a different perspective on things

4. “Sadly, the only way some people will learn to appreciate you is by losing you.”

- Sometimes people do not know how valuable you are until they lose you because they do not realize how much they contributed in your life

- A simple example, we never appreciate the money until we lose it all or we never appreciate our sense of smell until we get a cold

- The same logic applies here, so if they lose you, it’s their loss

5. “Growth means choosing happiness over history, and never looking back.”

- Sometimes you do not need to dwell on your past. Your past does not need you, what is over is over

- Dwell less on what happened and focus more on what is coming, that is what growth is. The day you realize that your happiness is the most important is the day you grow

6. “30% is better than 0%. Give yourself credit for trying.”

- We forget this sometimes. Stop putting pressure on yourself to perform the best in every situation

- I know everyone says to give your best and no matter what happens it will be fine, but sometimes even if you tried it is good enough

- Somedays you don’t have it in you to give your best and that is okay but remember to give yourself some credit. Don’t beat yourself up

7. “You can’t change the people around you but you can change the people around you.”

- This might sound confusing to some of you, you might have thought that I made a mistake in typing but read this one twice

- You can’t change the people around you, they are who they are. If you don’t like the way they act then cut them out of your life. You can’t change their personality

- What you can do is find new people to keep in your life. ones who love you dearly and would do anything for you. Quality over quantity

- You can change the number of people which will improve the quality of people

8. “5 by 5 rule- if it won’t matter in 5 years, don’t spend more than 5 minutes worrying about it.”

- This is my favourite one yet. sit back and think about all the things you are stressed about. Is it very important in the grand scheme of things?

- There is no reason to worry about something that will be insignificant in five years. Life is too short to spend it being stressed

9. “Don’t take criticism from people you wouldn’t go to for advice.”

- The only people whose criticism you should accept or take to heart is from the people whose opinion you value and who give you advice

- It’s because you know that they generally want what’s best for you and will give you honest and true criticism

- There’re so many people who give you criticism because they are jealous of you or they generally do not like you but if it's not someone whose advice you value, ignore it

10.“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.”

- Sometimes the choices we make do not reflect the things we are trying to avoid

- They reflect the things we hope to become. People misunderstand thinking we make a choice to avoid something we fear

- Sometimes you make choices are your hopes

11.“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?”

- We forget that everyone is going through something, we should always be kind

- Stop taking what other people say to heart and try hyping yourself up, in the end, you will always have yourself

12.“Keep going because you did not come this far to come this far.”

- We need this motivation. No matter how far you have come, you can always go further

- Don’t stop because where you can go is much bigger than when you are now. So, don’t stop only to come this far, there’s a long road ahead of you

13.“When was the last time you did something for the first time.”

- We are always so stressed and caught up in our work that we forget to try new experiences

- Always make some time to experience your firsts, it never hurts to try something new

14.“Writing is an underestimated art, you are painting colourful images in people's minds by using words of black and white.”

- Sometimes people underestimate the power of writing. It is kind of crazy to think about how thousands of people are reading the same book yet their perception of the character and the world they imagine in their head is different from another person’s

- Creating fictional worlds with words is a very powerful thing to do

15.“We’re so stressed out these days because everything needs to happen right now. We forget that everything happens in perfect time.”

- If it is meant to be it will be, it will happen in time

- You cannot rush things, they will happen when they are supposed

- Sometimes things do not need to happen at this moment and you have to be okay with it

16.“If you act the same way they did, then what is the difference between you and them?”

- You cannot fight fire with fire, it does not make you better than the person who burnt you in the first place

- If they hurt you, take the high road and walk away. Don’t stoop down to the other person level, you are better than that

17.“Don’t wish for it, work for it.”

- I truly believe that you will get as much as you work for

- You will always get what you deserve and what you have worked so hard to earn, it will come to you

- The harder you work to earn something, the more valuable the reward feels when you receive it

18. “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.”- Dr. Seuss

- You might not realize the importance of a moment until one day you sit down and look back at it and how much it actually meant to you

- We tend to that- not value something until we lose it

19.“Most people barely know themselves, so what does it matter what they think of you?”

- This is so true, we often let people get to us. Sometimes people are just taking some time out to figure out themselves

- don’t let them get to you, everyone is going through things behind closed doors that no one knows about. Always be kind no matter what

20. “Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter.” -African Proverb

- I want to leave this up to your interpretation

- But I think this is one of the most beautiful quotes yet
