Hey loves! I don’t know about y’all, but to be completely honest – everything lately in the news has got me feeling pretty down. It seems like every morning when I wake up and check social media, I get bombarded by statuses full of fighting and name calling. I mean, I get it…everyone has different viewpoints and opinions based on their surroundings, how they were raised, and what they’ve faced/seen throughout their life – but I can’t help but feel saddened by all of the negativity that is filling the air. I’m not going to get into political views or anything on here – I never post my thoughts on social media and I truly try to be empathetic at all times by giving respect to others, no matter what their stance is. I guess I’m just shocked at the terrible words that I’ve read or heard…sometimes I realize the expectations I have for some people are just naive and it seems as if I really do live in a bubble. Regardless, I am really big on trying to stay positive when times are rough, but sometimes it can just get draining.
We’ve all heard the saying grow up: ‘sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.’ And as I grew up, I realized that I don’t think I agree with that. Words are words, and sure they can’t physically hurt you…but let’s be honest, words DO hurt us. Think about it…mean words can damage our self esteem, affectionate words can make us feel loved, a sweet letter can bring tears to our eyes. This leads me to the fact that I’ve always been a huge fan of quotes. Yes I know, I’m “that” girl that had a ‘Live. Laugh. Love.’ sign up on her wall growing up. Quotes just have a way of making me feel hopeful and happy ๐ And since there’s been so much negativity around us lately, I thought it would be a great time to share some POSITIVE quotes:
“Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.”
“Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.”
“Grow through what you go through.”
“You can’t change what’s going on around you until you change what’s going on within you.”
“Do what you love, and do it often.”
“Challenges are what makes life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.”
“The comeback is always stronger than the setback.”
“A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles.”
“When you can’t find sunshine, be the sunshine.”
“No matter what you feel – get up, dress up, show up, and never give up.”
“Victory is sweetest when you’ve known defeat.”
“Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.”
“Everyday may not be good, but there’s good in every day.”
“Attitude is everything, so pick a good one!”
“You must master a new way to think before you can master a new way to be.”
“Tough times never last, but tough people do.”
Hopefully y’all can resonate and these made your day just a bit better! Love y’all…spread the happiness ๐
