Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.
Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

Happiness can be found in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light
The greatest treasures are not gold, nor jewels, nor works of art. They can not be held in your hands, they're held withinyour heart.

When things let you down and as you were given the most of the hard things think of the basics; Why are you alive? I am alive because i know i have my kids to live for i am alive because i need to love my mom despite she do not need me i am alive because i need to love my grandmother despite i cannot understand her sometimes i am alive because i wish to a happy wife one day (a wife of someone not from my country) I want a better life i can start it from here i am down right now but i should stand up and get back to my tasks I need not to be the best but i have to be better after this bad emotions
I was given this name by my parents. I've been to such-and-such a college. I've done these things in my profession." And we produce a little biography. The Buddhist says, "Forget it; that's not you. That is some story that's all past. I want to see the real you, the you you are now." Nobody knows who that is, because we do not know ourselves except through listening to our echoes and consulting our memories. But then the real you leads us back to this question, Who is the real you? We shall see how they play with this in Zen koans to get you to come out of your shell and find out who you really are. "You will find that the Zen people are quite divided on this. They will say, 'No we don?t believe literally in reincarnation. That after your funeral, you will suddenly become somebody different, living somewhere else.' They will say, 'Reincarnation means this: that if you sitting here now are really convinced that you?re the same person who walked in at the door half an hour ago, you?re being reincarnated. If you?re liberated, you?ll understand that you?re not. The past doesn?t exist. The future doesn?t exist. There is only the present and that?s the only real you that there is.' The Zen master Dogen put it this way, he said 'Spring does not become the summer. First there is spring and then there is summer,' each season stays in its own place and so in the same way the you of yesterday does not become the you of today. T.S. Elliot has the same idea in his poem 'The Four Quartets' where he says, 'When you settle down in the train to read your newspaper?you are not the same person who left the platform.' If you think you are, you are linking your moments up in a chain, and this is what binds you to the wheel of birth and death. But when you know that every moment in which you are is the only moment, this comes into Zen?a master will say to somebody 'Get up and walk across the room!' and he comes back and the master says 'Where are your footprints?' They?ve gone. So where are you? Who are you? When we?re asked who we are, we usually give a kind of recitation of a history.

Great post, it literally made me my day and got me into a deeper thinking about the "Now"

"Believe and never give up your dreams." Only for this sentence I am alive.
Remember the moment you know exactly where you're going,
'Cause the next moment, before you know it,
Time is slowing and it's frozen still..
And the window sill looks really nice, right?
You think twice about your life, it probably happens at night,
Right? Fight it, take the pain, ignite it,
Tie a noose around your mind loose enough to breathe fine and tie it,
To a tree, tell it, "You belong to me,
This ain't a noose, this is a leash,
And I have news for you, you must obey me." -Twenty One Pilots
