Wise Words To Start Your Day With

“I cannot count the number of times I’ve been told not to be too nice to people because it will hurt me. After giving this much thought, my response is simple. When I’m too nice because I have a hidden purpose, others have the right to hurt me, because people are not made to be used but to be loved and respected. When I’m nice for the sake of actually caring about others, and living by my values, then no matter what others’ responses are, they can’t hurt me. I tell myself that I am being kind to the world, not specific people. Be content with yourself and always smile. If the world smiles back, that’s great. If it doesn’t, then that’s great too, because, despite the harshness around you, you are still able to stick to your beliefs, values, and character with a genuine smile.”

Mind Platter by Najwa Zebian – a beautiful book with reflections on life

“Don’t give up. When you feel like all your energy is drained, rest. When moments become more important than a detailed plan, enjoy them. When your body changes with each season of life, listen to it, nourish it, and respect it. When you start to question your worth, remember to be gentle with yourself. You are doing the best you can, with what you have. Look how far you’ve come in the past 5 years, you are never starting over but instead relearning everything you’ve gained from experience. Keep going.”

Tiffany Moule (not sure which book of hers, if you know I would really appreciate you leaving a comment below)

“She said, “I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how You made them feel.”

Morning Words of Wisdom To Start Your Day Positive

“You become. It takes a long time. That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”

 The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco

“This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, the courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of the intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the beauty in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or by a redeemed social condition; to know that one life had breathed easier because you lived here. This is to have succeeded.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Meaningful Quotes To Inspire You In The Morning

“For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald

He said, “There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow, so today is the right day to love, believe, do and mostly live.”

Dalai Lama

Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that come after can depend on what you do today. It’s been that way all this year. It’s been that way so many times.”

Ernest Hemingway

“What if all this time, all this struggle, has been leading you to a beautiful chapter in your life? What if everything does work out, even if it doesn’t seem like it right now? What if who I become is who I’ve needed all along? What if all of this hard work leads to amazing things? What if you replaced negativity with optimism? Would your thoughts and behavior change too? I believe so.”

Tiffany Moule

“Beautiful me, I hope you read this and believe me…You are needed, and I know you don’t feel like it right now…but you are. I know you’ve been hard on yourself, how you view and talk to yourself is nothing you’d repeat out loud. I know you feel like this is it, this is all the future holds for you. Keep going. Keep trying every single day. You’re already making waves, moving mountains, becoming who you’re meant to be. It all starts with showing up for YOU, trusting YOU, and believing in YOU. From the person who will always believe in you…me.”

Tiffany Moule

“You’re going to realize it one day – that happiness was never about your job, or your degree, or being in a relationship. Happiness was never about following in the footsteps of all those who came before you, it was never about being like the others. One day, you’re going to see it – that happiness was always about discovery, the hope, the listening to your heart and following it wherever it chose to go. Happiness was always about being kinder to yourself, it was always about embracing the person you were becoming. One day, you will understand. That happiness was always about learning how to live with yourself, that happiness was never in the hands of other people. It was always about you.”

Bianca Sparacino

Daily Morning Inspirational Quotes

“Lost opportunities, lost possibilities, feelings we can never get back. That’s part of what it means to be alive. But inside our heads – at least that’s where I imagine it – there’s a little room where to store those memories. A room like the stacks in this library. And to understand the working of our own heart we have to keep on making new reference cards. We have to dust things off every once in a while, let in the fresh air, change the water in the flower vases. In other words, you’ll live forever in your own private library.”

Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami

“Today I choose to adopt an attitude of optimism. It’s a perspective or a filter, through which I can choose to view my life. Being optimistic means that I believe that the outcomes in my life will be favorable for me. That the end result of my experience is something I will benefit from. Being optimistic improves my heart because it reduces the harmful effects of stress on my body. Optimism has been proven to improve immunity and cardiovascular health. Practicing optimism helps me sort through the negative chatter of my inner critic so I can see the path through my struggles and challenges and achieve an outcome that aligns with my inner champion. Optimism helps me be solutions-focused. It’s a core belief that life is happening for me, not to me.”

“So don’t frighten, dear friend, if a sadness confronts you larger than any you have ever known, casting its shadow over all you do. You must think that something is happening within you, and remember that life has not forgotten you; it holds you in its hands and will not let you fall. Why would you want to exclude from your life any uneasiness, any pain, any depression, since you don’t know what work they are accomplishing within you?”

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
