All aspects of life can easily be expressed in words. Letters gathered together in order to portray education, entertainment, and emotion. Formulated into meaningful statements, here are 10 Quotes That Induce Inspiration.
Things Change
“New beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.”
-Lao Tzu
Change comes abruptly. Sometimes, new moments begin at the end of something seemingly painful. Birth, divorce, loss, going away to school, and death are all mere examples.
Compassion
“If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”
-Dalai Lama
Compassion is an emotional response to sympathy that creates a desire to help. It carries with it the qualities of patience, wisdom, kindness, perseverance, warmth, and resolve. Caring for others brings about happiness in ones own life.
Watch your viewpoint
“Two things to remember in life. Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.
-Lorde
So much importance is given to mindset. Being aware of personal thoughts is important in being healthy. Cautious behavior in the way you speak to others is key to living happy.
Happiness
“It is impossible to build one’s own happiness on the unhappiness of others.”
-Daisaku Ikeda
Bringing someone else down is never going to make you feel better, let alone be better. You can never be happy at the cost of someone else’s happiness.
Feelings
“You have to get to the point when your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else.”
-Anonymous
Never let someone else’s actions dictate how you are going to feel. Be who you are, no matter what.
Fear
“Courage is not the absence of fear, but the capacity to act despite our fears.”
-John McCain
There is fear in all of us. Recognizing it, and calling it out, is half the battle. Realizing that you can stay in it, or you can go through it, is a move in the right direction. Stepping up to those scary situations helps us to move on from them.
Be Yourself
“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
Dr, Seuss
Dr. Seuss had a great knowledge about character. The person that you are in this life is not a result of how someone perceives you. Your opinion about something deserves to be said. The people in your life that appreciate your character and know your heart and intentions, those that matter, are going to love you no matter what. Others that mind what you say and do not know your character really do not matter.
Be Humble
“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.”
-C.S. Lewis
The dictionary defines humility to be a modest or low view of one’s own importance. It is never okay to put yourself down and believe yourself to be less than anyone else. Being humble is thinking of others rather than of yourself. Placing your importance last.
Inside
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you are a bad person, the things you have accomplished do not matter. Whatever you do in the future is meaningless if you are not a good being.
“It’s time to stop focusing on the things you are not…and learn to love all things you are.”
-Anonymous
Do not compare yourself to others. Refrain from trying to be someone that you are not. Rather, embrace who you are and be that person every hour of every day.
