Quotes Pt 6

I’m back with another part of quotes (my favourite series). So I hope you enjoy reading the quotes I have for you today.

1. “Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn”

- It’s important to remember this. You can’t always win everything, sometimes just sit back and ask yourself- what did I learn from this experience and how can I do better next time

- Winning takes time and it also includes many losses

2. “When I was little I picked up a flower and put it in a vase. After a few days, it died. I asked my mom why and she said: “You can’t force a flower to thrive somewhere it doesn’t belong to.” And now I realized people are like that too,” - S.T

- I think if I were to explain humans, I would explain them exactly like this

- You can’t grow in an environment in which you do not belong. Sometimes if you feel uninspired, change the environment.

- There is a reason we don’t fit into an environment. It is like clothes, we outgrow things that don’t fit us anymore, sometimes we outgrow environments.

3. “Things are as they are, we suffer because we imagined different.”-Rachel Wolchen

- Everything will take place as it is meant to be

- Sometimes it’s not the situation that disappoints us, it’s our own expectations

- I read somewhere- always pity the thinkers, they are cursed with their own imagination

4. “I sat with my anger long enough, until she told me her real name was grief.”

- Sometimes we keep our emotions bottled up only to think that it is anger but we just need to validate our own feelings and we realize that the anger we keep within us is grief

- There is no point in neglecting the way you feel. It’s really a power-feeling things. Avoiding emotions is never a healthy way to cope with anything

5. “Nothing ever goes away until it teaches us what we need to know.” -Pema Chodron

- Everything comes into your life to teach you something, or you have to teach something to that thing

- It won’t really leave you until it completes the purpose that it has come for

6. “When you can’t control what is happening, challenge yourself to control the way you are responding to what’s happening. That’s where the power is.”

- Everything happens for a reason. Whatever is destined to be will be and there is no for you to change the course of things

- Instead of worrying about all of the things that are out of our control we should try to do everything right that is in our control and maybe make the best out of a bad situation

7. “Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is.”- German proverb

- Sometimes fear makes things seem bigger than they actually are like maybe a shadow looks more like a void of darkness

- The trick is to not let the fear take over you and use it as a way to overcome it

8. “Knowing your power is what creates humility. Not knowing your power is what creates insecurity”- Nayyirah Waheed

- We all are blessed with beauty, knowing your worth is very important. Knowing your power is what humbles

- Not knowing your worth is what creates your insecurity. Take a step back and just appreciate yourself

9. “I don’t care who’s doing better than me. I am doing better than last year. It’s me vs me”

- The only person you should be comparing yourself to is yourself. Measure your progress in comparison to how you were doing a year ago today not how the people are doing around you

- Everyone is going through something different so technically measuring your progress according to them would be inaccurate

10. “Some people are old at 18 and some people are young at 90… time is a concept created by humans”- Yoko ono

- It’s like how we say to someone- you have such a young spirit, regardless of the age they are

- I always found the whole concept of time very unique.

11. “The secret to happiness is letting every situation be what it is instead of what you think it should be and just make the best of it.”

- This corresponds to one of the quotes earlier.

- Just let the situation play out how it is supposed to and try to make the best of whatever you have

12.“The great thing about this life of ours is that you can be someone different to everybody.”- Jennifer Niven

- You can be different people to everyone. To someone, you could be their favourite person, to someone you could be the person they hate that’s the beauty of life

- Sometimes people say things about you without knowing the whole story

13.“Whether or not the couple ends up together at the end of a book doesn’t determine whether that book has a happy ending or not. As long as the two people end up happy, it doesn’t really matter if they end up happy together.”- Colleen Hoover

- I think this applies to real-life too. Happy endings don’t necessarily mean two people end up together.

- As long as the people concerned with the story or in your life end up happy on their own or with what they chose, that would be classified as a happy ending

14. “People were created to be loved. Things were created to be used. The reason why the world is in chaos is because things are being loved and people are being used.” -John Green

- This is one of my favourite quotes, it is pretty self-explanatory

15.“Worrying is stupid. it’s like walking around with an umbrella waiting for it”- Wiz Khalifa

- It is like sitting around waiting for something bad to happen. Stop worrying about things that you don’t know will happen

- Why don’t you focus on the tasks that you have now, stop waiting for something bad to happen

16.“Millions of people have decided not to be sensitive. they have grown thick skins around themselves just to avoid being hurt by anybody. but it is at a great cost. nobody can hurt them, but nobody can make them happy either”

- I feel like everything in life comes with a cost, no matter how good things get, there is always a cost for it

- You could have built the walls to prevent yourself from getting hurt but you also pushed away everything that makes you happy in the process. Is it all worth it just to feel nothing?

17. “You spend your whole life stuck in a labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. you use the future to escape the present.”- John Green

- We as humans use such bizarre excuses, we use the past and future to escape the present and use the present to escape the future

- We keep saying that we will do something and imagine how good we would feel when we would do it but that’s all we end up doing, imagining a feeling that we can easily achieve

18. “She was afraid of heights but she was more afraid of never flying”- Atticus

- Sometimes you use your fear as a reason to motivate you. Think about it this way- if you are scared of something you probably will not want to try out what you fear but is missing out on doing it, really worth it?

- Sometimes you have to see the bigger picture

19.“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music”-Friedrich Nietzsche

- I want to leave this open to your own interpretation

20. “When a person tells you that you hurt them, you don’t get to decide you didn’t”- Louis C.K

- I think we forget that sometimes, we don’t decide what hurts someone and what doesn’t

- If you hurt someone and they make it a point to tell you, try asking them how you can avoid this next time instead of defending your name and maybe you won’t walk out of the room with one less person in your life
