A sentence can change your life. That sentence generates a thought and the processional effect
of that sentence can change your life. The best amongst us are able to sum up
an enormous thought or concept in just a few simple words.
Linger on the following
quotes to generate a thought that can get you up and moving and change the way
you think. Delight in the purposeful brevity of the sentence. Pure magic!
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never
tried anything new.
Albert Einstein is often
lauded as a genius and usually we think that he must have done everything
perfectly. However, he would have been the first to admit that he made plenty
of mistakes, since he was always trying new things and thinking new thoughts.
Works best when you want to take advice from a literal genius
and throw yourself into the arena of life. No more sitting by the sidelines
afraid of getting it wrong. Dare to try new things and be ready to make lots of
mistakes along the way.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I
think I have ended up where I needed to be.
Douglas Adams wants us to
know that things might not always go the way we planned, but that the universe
might have bigger plans for us than we can comprehend. It’s much more powerful
to leave a bit of planning up to the bigger picture instead of thinking you
need to control every detail.
Works best when you feel like you’ve ended up somewhere you’re
not supposed to be. It’s easy to think we know all the answers, but sometimes
life has more important plans for us, so try to consider that you might be
right where you need to be.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold
story inside you.
Maya Angelou is beckoning
you to tell your story with one simple statement. She seemingly had no trouble
telling her story, but she must have gone through a period of time when she had
a story inside her that just needed to come out.
Works best when you have an amazing story that could enrich the
lives of others but are not sharing it out of fear or any other reason. It can
be therapeutic to let your story out and see what other people take away from
it.
I’ve had a lot of worries in my life, most of
which never happened.
Mark Twain has phrased it
so eloquently that worrying is pretty inefficient. The vast majority of things
we worry about never actually happen, so it’s best not to worry at all since
all that matters is what really happens, which is a fraction of what goes on in
the worried mind.
Works best when you’re overcome with worry, doubt, or dread.
Just remember that most of that stuff isn’t even going to happen, and if it
does you suffer twice.
It is better to know how to learn than to know.
Dr. Seuss is known for his
quirky hyperbole, but this one is a sentence that is worth reading a few times.
In a world where every answer is at your fingertips thanks to computers and
smartphones, it truly is a great time to be alive and eager to learn.
Works best when you’re wishing you already knew something and
are getting frustrated at the idea of learning it on your own. Instead take
delight in the fact that you know how to learn, and that’s really all you need
in life.
The future belongs to those who believe in the
beauty of their dreams.
Eleanor Roosevelt gives the
dreamers of the world solace and reassurance that it is good to dream and create
the future the way you see it. It’s sometimes hard to stay true to yourself and
keep your dream alive in an unforgiving world, and this one sentence really
helps.
Works best when you want to get inspired to follow through on
your dreams, and get optimistic about the future. If you’ve lived too long
thinking that you’re just a dreamer and things won’t work out, this is an
uplifting quote.
If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in
your life.
Marc Anthony has a pretty
good point here, and normally we associate work with doing things we don’t
really enjoy, which is why we expect to get paid for it. When you shift the
energy around so that work feels like play and you start enjoying what you’re
doing, everything changes.
Works best when you’ve been wondering what it’d be like to be on
Easy Street and never have to work again. You can have that right now if you
start doing the things you love and getting paid for it.
Don’t let what you can’t do stop you from doing
what you can do.
John Wooden is calling us
out on one of the most popular excuses out there, and that’s on not moving
forward because of a perceived limitation in a particular area or field.
Works best when you’ve been getting down on yourself for not
being able to do something, and using it as an excuse for not making progress.
Focus on what you can do and on increasing your skill set en route to your
goal.
I hope this helps you
to be outstanding.
