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.

It's something I found from A Game of Thrones! It's House Martell's motto :3
Ha, I haven't realized that, @AdVictoriam ^^ Cool!
"It ain't the speakers that bump hearts, it's our hearts that make the beat~"
Enjoy the little things in life- a smile, warm bed, birds chirping, fresh air :)
If we try hard enough, we can seek joy in the even the smallest of things.
"There are monsters and it's okay to be afraid of them, but it's not okay to let them win and it's not okay to be one."
It's from Criminal Minds, idk what episode.
@helpfulsam99, great one! Also, I love the source of this quote ^^
Same. Criminal Minds is life. I want to join the FBI and it's partially because of that show.
Great, great quote! It's from Season 6, Episode 1 - "The Longest Night"
Being unique is what's cool. Being normal? What's that? It's a setting on a washing machine. No one wants that.
"A setting on a washing machine" - I love that line, @unsinkablespirit312 ^^
"You've got the sand in the palm of your hand, don't let it slip away..."
Don't let precious time go by... the next line goes "Regret haunts forever, don't try to be clever, just shatter these weak walls."
I just remembered that there is a poem called Litany Against Fear, from by Frank Herbert's book, Dune. I like to repeat it to myself in times of distress:
"I will not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
I haven't read the books, but recently watched the movie for the first time, underrated I think!
@Tuffenugh, I believe this movie is called the same as a book, Dune.
"I admire people who choose to shine even after all of the storms they have been through"
I adore this quote ❤
It may be hard to believe now, but one day this will all be just a bad memory.

Each day is a new day. Let your happiness begin again, let your light shine, let your love flow and remember to smile. :) Take things one day at a time and everyone is on their own journey .
@Celty, I wish I could explain how much this post just made my day. It relates so much to my life. So very meaningful. Thank you!
I am very happy to hear that my post made you smile !! Japanese language is full of words very useful to put words on our deepest feelings, and it is often full of wisdom.
@Celty, I love that you brought this up! It's such a beautiful perspective, to perceive fractures, our scars and bruises, as a form of art, a proof of being tested by time and space.
It reminds me a poem by Ellen Bass:
"What would people look like
if we could see them as they are,
soaked in honey, stung and swollen,
reckless, pinned against time?"
I totally share your view ! As a teen I used to say that roads are to the earth what scars are to human beings : they guide us.
If you think positive thoughts u attract positivity into your life. Think good thoughts. When you see negativity coming on...change your thoughts. If you feel good..you are feeling good.
Love it. It's a beautiful quote and very inspiring. Thank you for sharing. I'm almost sure that it was first attributed to Groucho Marx.
It reminds me of another quote that I love, "The wound is the place where the light enters you." - Rumi
The only thing I wanted to hear was "Everything will be alright..." And it was true...
Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ever, it became a butterfly.

Everyone wants happiness,
No one wants pain,
But u can't have a rainbow,
Without a little rain <3 Xx
I stopped caring about what everybody thought about me when I started trying to pay my bills with their opinions.
