Quotes you live by

Post by Izabella »

What are some of your favourite quotes? Ones that motivate you, inspire you, remind you, or just have really stuck out to you.

I'm going to start off with one from a book I'm reading that reminds me to stop thinking negative thoughts about myself.
"If a thought or belief doesn't serve you, then let it go"
I'm even thinking about it getting it tattooed somewhere.

Also this one from Tumblr that I like
"You are so used to your features, you don’t know how beautiful you look to a stranger."
You're so used to seeing yourself in the mirror every day that it's hard for you to appreciate your features, but you can never know how a stranger sees you, and those amazing features that you do have will automatically stand out.

And finally, last one from House Of Cards, one of my favourite shows.
"We are nothing more or less than what we choose to reveal"
I like this one not because it's motivating or whatever, but it just screams the truth. You only know me from things I choose you reveal to you. My friends only know me as the version I choose to reveal to them. We are seen differently by every single person who we come across, based on what we choose to reveal to them about our personalities or our lives. It's a good thing to remember, when it comes to assessing other people. And also, you can never truly know a person fully, just like no one else will ever know you fully.

Your turn :D

Oooooh, I love this thread. I really hope this gets popular within GG.

My current favorite would be this one - " I'm in love with cities I've never been to and people I've never met. "

By john green, just reminds me to just travel and meet new people since I don't know what the outcome may be.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”

"You will always be too much of something for someone: too big, too loud, too soft, too edgy. If you round out your edges, you lose your edge. Apologize for mistakes. Apologize for unintentionally hurting someone — profusely. But don’t apologize for being who you are."

"Don't treat people as bad as they are, treat them as good as you are."

"I keep toxic people an arm's length away. I'll help you if you need it but you won't be able to hurt me again."

It's hard to keep these as a guide especially when I think it seems so two faced to treat assholes that treated me badly as if they were decent strangers, especially since I hate them SO MUCH.
