10 Uplifting Quotes To Carry With You For Life
Hey blog family! So today I would like to share some quotes that I have found to be very inspiring and meaningful throughout my life. I love to read, write and simply gain new knowledge always! Words give life to things, and to us as people. I truly do believe that they have the potential to hold great beauty and power. These days on Instagram, as you scroll, you're able to see (and resonate with) a lot of the different writing works from creative, aspiring and/or novice authors, poets and artists. I love it!
I wanted to make this blog post a space for you guys to come to (as much as you need) to gather some good spoken truth that is relatable and encouraging. Reading a good word, or some real talk, can really put your mind at ease and ignite a sense of joy within us. So I hope that this is what you experience right here, right now!
The Queen Maya Angelou
Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight.
2. The Glorious Michelle Obama
Don't ever make decisions based on fear. Make decisions based on hope and possibility. Make decisions based on what should happen, not what shouldn't.
3. The Immaculate Brene Brown
When we work from a place, I believe, that says, "I'm enough," then we stop screaming and start listening, we're kinder and gentler to the people around us, and we're kinder and gentler to ourselves.
4. The Vibrant Oprah Winfrey
Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.
5. The Mighty Rosa Parks
Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground.
6. The Enchanting Rupi Kaur
The universe took its time on you. Crafted you precisely so you could offer the world something distinct from everyone else. When you doubt how you were created, you doubt an energy greater than us both.
7. The Creative Erykah Badu
Be you. Make sure you’re saying something when you’re saying something. It’s important to sound like you, to feel like you, to be like you. Be you.
8. The Fierce Cicely Tyson
You must stay true to that inner dream. You go on and ignore anything that comes against you and do what you were put here to do. What is for you in this life you will get, and what is not for you you’ll never get.
9. The Amazing Glennon Doyle
First the pain, then the waiting, then the rising. All of our suffering comes when we try to get to our resurrection without allowing ourselves to be crucified first. There is no glory except straight throught your story.
10. The Intelligent Morgan Harper Nichols
Tell the story of the mountains you climbed. Your words could become a page in someone else’s survival guide.
You all are so amazing, so unique, so inspiring... and just all around great people. Remember this as you step in to any new day, month or even chapter of your lives. You are the captain of your life's ship. Dedicate yourself to what makes you feel the happiest and most purposeful. Think about what is going good and well in your life first and foremost, then work on what's not. And lastly, invite positive, truthful, helpful, motivational words, quotes and stories in to your life to help keep you on this path of intentional wellbeing.
Thank you for taking the time,
S.S.
