Happy Wednesday my friends! Apologies for not sending a quote last week, I was traveling but we are back in action and I’ve switched things up this week. I am going to share a list of quotes that I have collected from Y’ALL! I asked my instagram followers, friends and family for their favorite inspirational or funny quote/lyric and here’s what we curated:
“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness - and call it love - true love.” - Robert Fulghum
“You can never be a victim if you don’t admit defeat.”
“You accept the love you think you deserve.” - Perks of Being a Wallflower
“Give. But don’t allow yourself to be used. Love. But don’t allow your heart to be abused. Trust. But don’t be naive. Listen. But don’t lose your own voice.”
“Only dead fish go with the flow.” - Andy Hunt
“The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.” - Bob Marley
“Always put your mask on first, before trying to save someone else first.”
“If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?” - RuPaul
“How you think determines how your life goes and what in your life grows.”
“Life is short. Drive fast and leave a sexy corpse.” - Stanley Hudson, The Office
“If it don’t make dollars, it don’t make sense.”
“Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” - Albus Dumbledore
“Don’t be sorry, be better.”
“If you’re going through hell, keep going.” - Winston Churchill
“I take rumors as a compliment. The fact that you’re bringing my name into rooms I don’t sit at shows your obsession. Stay bothered.”
“I never look back darling. It distracts from the now.” - Edna Mode, The Incredibles
“It’s not about being better than someone else, it’s about being better than you were the day before.”
“Your smile is your logo, your personality is your business card, how you leave others feeling after having an experience with you becomes your trademark.” - Jay Danzie
“The purest form of love is consideration. When someone thinks about how things would make you feel. Pays attention to detail. Holds you in regard when making decisions that could affect you. In any bond, how much they care about you can be found in how much they consider you.”
“You’re not a doctor…you’re a big, fat, curly-headed fuck!” - Brennan Huff, Step Brothers
“A field that has rested gives bountiful crops.”
Here’s why I did this: The beauty of quotes lies in their ability to transcend individual circumstances and unite us through shared sentiments. They have the power to resonate with us in unique ways due to the complex interplay of personal experiences, beliefs, and emotions. Each person carries a distinctive set of values, aspirations, and life circumstances that color their perception of the world and when confronted with a quote, individuals filter the words through the lens of their own experiences and understanding, leading to varying levels of resonance.
In addition, the timing of encountering a quote plays a significant role in how it is received. A particular quote may deeply impact someone in a moment of vulnerability, while the same words might not elicit the same response during a period of strength or contentment. Context also matters; a quote that speaks to someone undergoing a specific challenge might not hold the same significance for someone at a different stage in their life.
Quotes can inspire people in different ways depending on their personality, goals, and current state of mind and inspiration in itself is deeply personal and subjective. An individual's core values and long-term aspirations greatly influence which quotes resonate with them. For instance, a person driven by a sense of adventure might find inspiration in quotes about taking risks and exploring the unknown, while someone focused on personal growth could be moved by quotes about resilience and self-improvement.
In essence, the diverse ways in which quotes resonate and inspire stem from the intricate interplay of individual perspectives, life circumstances, and emotional states, highlighting the rich and multifaceted nature of human experience. Sometimes it's as if the author of the quote reached through time and space to offer a comforting embrace, validating our experiences & circumstances, and providing a sense of camaraderie.
Thank you for contributing. I also hope you found a quote in this list that hit right at home. Remember, you are never alone.
Trust your journey. Rest your soul. Always leave people better than you found them and have an astounding day and a spectacular weekend! 👽🫶🏻🧿
