Quote Of The Day February 17, 2023

You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step. – MLK

Thought: There’s no doubt that planning with the bigger picture in mind is important when crafting your goals, but sometimes life requires a leap of faith . Rather than becoming overwhelmed by a seemingly impossible task, focus on the first step. Taking that initial action can often be enough to get momentum going and propel you toward success.

With each effort, trust in yourself and the process—and soon the entire staircase will start to come into view. This inspiring quote from Martin Luther King Jr. encourages us to not let fear of the unknown stop us from taking action. No matter what your goal is, don’t be afraid to take that first step—you never know where it might lead!

Quote Of The Day February 16, 2023

The best relationships, the ones that last, are the ones rooted in friendship. – Gillian Anderson

Thought: When you share an intimate connection with someone that is rooted in strong bonds of trust, respect and a sense of camaraderie, it can help sustain the relationship through even the most difficult times.

Having built a foundation on friendship allows couples to continue to grow as they move beyond life’s more mundane daily existence and together pursue greater enriching experiences throughout life’s journey, solidifying a true bond. This bond then becomes the cornerstone in building the strength and longevity that the best relationships need in order to stand the test of time.

Quote Of The Day February 15, 2023

My story is a freedom song of struggle. It is about finding one’s purpose, how to
overcome fear and to stand up for causes bigger than one’s self. – Coretta Scott King

Quote Of The Day February 14, 2023

Things dreaded require double time to accomplish them. – James Lendall Basford

Thought: It’s said that time is a precious commodity, so it can be disheartening when all of the effort we expend on a task goes to waste. In those situations, we often have even more difficulty finding the motivation to complete an activity that we find intimidating or tedious.

This rings especially true when considering tasks that are dreaded; these seem almost impossible to complete without taking double the amount of time as any other activities. It’s as if our enthusiasm and drive are completely depleted; thus requiring us to take far longer in order to accomplish our desired results. Despite this, understanding why certain things require extra effort may help us become mindful of how we spend our time on them, and in turn enable us to better prepare for confronting them head-on.

Quote Of The Day February 13, 2023

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important – Steve Jobs

Quote Of The Day February 12, 2023

Tact is to lie about others as you would have them lie about you. – Oliver Herford

Quote Of The Day February 11, 2023

Work on your relationships. Relationships need renewal or they die. – Bo Sanchez

Quote Of The Day February 10, 2023

You need to learn how to select your thoughts just the same way you select your clothes every day. This is a power you can cultivate.

Thought: Learning how to select your thoughts is a crucial skill that allows us to stay in control of our mental state and avoid getting dragged down by negative self-talk. It’s similar to when we choose our clothes every day; like those clothes, we do not have to wear every thought that passes through our mind.

We can choose which ones will serve us best and focus on them instead – positive, empowering thoughts that make us feel motivated and ready to take on the world. Rejecting unfavourable thoughts and cultivating a kindly attitude towards ourselves is a step worth taking; after all, it makes perfect sense that if we are being gentle with ourselves mentally, we will be better placed emotionally as well.

Quote Of The Day February 9, 2023

Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others even if you don’t like them. – Stacy London

Thought: I’ve always been a little envious of people who see to operate without fear, you know those people who are always busy trying new things and meeting new people without feeling anxious, scared or intimidated? That’s why I like this quote. It reminds me that it’s important to push myself out of my comfort zone and try something new.

We can only grow if we challenge ourselves, and this quote is a reminder that no matter how afraid I may feel sometimes, I should still go ahead and do the thing I’m afraid of. It’s also a reminder to be kind to other people, even if I don’t like them—because kindness is something we should all strive for. Whether it’s trying something new or being kind to someone, this quote reminds me that I can do anything as long as I believe in myself and stay positive.

Quote Of The Day February 8, 2023

Avoidance allows you to believe that you’re making all kinds of strides. – Liz Murray

Thought: It’s easy to think you’re accomplishing something when really all you’re doing is avoiding a problem. We try to put our energy in the wrong places, believing we can sidestep what needs to be faced. This feeling of progress through avoidance can create an illusion of progress and self-efficacy. It may give us the false hope that we have overcome the challenge when in reality, it has only been pushed aside.

Avoiding our issues never leads to true victory – instead, it only make us feel more lost and confused. The challenge with this kind of “progress” is that it is misleading and does nothing for our development or growth as individuals. It’s time to face our fears head on instead of burying them beneath a temporary facade – only then can true progress be made.

Quote Of The Day February 7, 2023

My motto is: feel the fear, and do it anyway. – Tamara Mellon

Thought: Fear can sometimes be paralyzing, stopping us from seizing opportunities and having experiences that could radically change our lives for the better. Taking on a challenge dis-spite of fears and worries can lead to amazing experiences and growth. This motto reminds us to not be so caught up in fear that we forget to take chances; pushing through fear can bring about beautiful changes. It gives us permission to take risks, make a commitment and go further than we ever dreamed possible. With perseverance and courage, anything is possible!

Quote Of The Day February 6, 2023

I have seen great shown intolerance support of tolerance. – Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Thought: It’s ironic, but all too true: I have witnessed cases of incredible intolerance used in the name of promoting tolerance. From shouting down those who oppose certain views to personally attacking anyone who challenges them, this “tolerance” is anything but tolerant.

Unfortunately, it seems that when we make strides towards progress, there are some people willing to take more extreme measures than necessary and resort to hate and aggression. We must remember that the path towards greater understanding is one that we must tread lightly if we ever have a hope of reaching our goals. Intolerance has no place in the fight for acceptance and love.

Quote Of The Day February 5, 2023

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. – Margaret Mead

Thought: Change does not just happen overnight. It takes dedication, courage, and resilience to create a tangible shift in society, but this effort is never wasted when people come together in pursuit of change. Thankfully, we have seen that small groups of citizens can go a long ways towards challenging the status quo and making a lasting impact on the world by inspiring others to use their voice and make an impact wherever they are.

Quote Of The Day February 4, 2023

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. – Mark Twain

Thought: Courage is the slippery, powerful emotion that it takes to face down our innermost fears. Showing courage doesn’t mean hiding or avoiding the fear, but rather confronting and challenging it until we can come out on top. It takes a special kind of strength to set aside what we dread and move forward with courage in any situation.

To be courageous is to not be fearless, but to take on challenges with reckless abandon, embodying a willingness to take risks no matter how daunting. Practicing courage shows tremendous resilience in difficult moments and bravely reminds us how much our will can triumph over fear.

Quote Of The Day February 3, 2023

The man who stands firm in order to protect a sand-castle can never be relied upon; for he
has given away his common sense. – Winston Churchill

Thought: Of course, it’s important to stand firm on our values and passions. But relying solely on emotion and reducing the importance of logic often leads to the worst decisions, both personally and politically. We should all strive to follow a life with balance – reasoned conviction with some degree of prudence.

Quote Of The Day February 2, 2023

The habit of being happy enables one to be freed, or largely freed, from the domination of outward conditions.

Thought: When we start thinking of happiness as a choice, instead of something that is simply happened upon, we start to realize how much control we have over our state of happiness.

When we learn to take responsibility for our own happiness, we no longer need to blame external factors or people for our lack of joy. We can choose to be happy regardless of the situation, allowing us to make better decisions that lead to greater contentment.

We can also start to appreciate the small moments in life more when we actively cultivate happiness. We can start to notice the beauty in the everyday and be more mindful of our blessings. Making an effort to find joy in even the simplest moments can create a ripple effect of positive energy that ultimately leads to more contentment and peace.

Quote Of The Day February 1, 2023

When men no longer have the least fear of saying something untrue, they very soon have no fear whatsoever of doing something unjust. – Theodor Haecker

Thought: It is an age-old truth that a natural progression occurs when one has no fear of speaking words of falsehood, it will eventually reach a place where there is absolutely no fear of committing acts of injustice. This development can easily be observed in people and societies alike, where once the mindset changes to believing that lying is acceptable, immoral deeds follow soon after.

The only way to confront this issue is through teaching honesty and integrity at an early age, so that it becomes an unwavering rule in everyone’s behavior. With that effort towards morality, we can hope that men everywhere will have no qualms about refraining them from falling into fraudulence and malevolence.

Quote Of The Day January 31, 2023

The best way to keep relationships happy, healthy, and supportive can be summed up in one word: appreciation. – Marci Shimoff

Thought: Relationships are a critical aspect of life, and when they are happy, healthy, and supportive, they can have an incredibly positive effect on our overall wellbeing. It is important then to understand what it takes to keep relationships in this state – one of the most powerful things we can do is to express appreciation for the other person.

Appreciation does not have to mean grand gestures; simple acknowledgements such as thanking someone for their comments or talking about how wonderful it feels when one partner helps another can be enough. Showing appreciation ensures people feel recognized and important, confirming that their efforts are noticed and valued. Nurturing relationships with appreciation encourages individuals to stay devoted and committed, helping sustain long term happiness.

Quote Of The Day January 30, 2023

Happiness is not a station you arrive at but a manner of traveling – Margaret Lee Runbeck

Thought: We all know that popular saying “It’s the journey, not the destination”, a phrase that embodies the idea that in life the path taken to arrive at a goal is often more important or even more rewarding than arriving at the goal itself. The same can be said for happiness.

Happiness is more than a state of being; it is instead a choice to actively pursue contentment with our daily lives and the path we are currently on. After all, life can be full of unexpected twists and turns that make getting from point A to B far more interesting than reaching any final stopping point.

Quote Of The Day January 29, 2023

You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness. – Diane von Furstenberg

Thought: Even though it may not feel like it most times, we are the authors of our own stories. We have the power to craft our own happiness in life. Even though life can hand us some difficult circumstances that may lead to unfair outcomes, it is still important to remember that we have the ability to create our own happiness.

We are in full control of how we view these events, and the attitude we choose to take when confronting them. Having an optimistic mindset and believing in ourselves will open up more opportunities for us throughout our journey; allowing us to make more meaningful decisions that can help shape a positive future for ourselves.

Quote Of The Day January 28, 2023

Genuine relationships depend first on a healthy relationship with ourselves – Sonia Choquette

Thought:In order to create and maintain relationships with others, it is essential to have a healthy relationship with ourselves. We need to focus on our own self-care and pay attention to our mental well-being before we can give anything of value to the people around us.

This means regularly taking the time to fill our own cup so that later we will have energy and resources to give back. When it comes to genuine relationships, we must foster a strong self-love and understand our needs in order to benefit from being close with another person. Ultimately, investing in ourself first helps us form connections that last over time.

Quote Of The Day January 27, 2023

Suspicions which may be unjust need not be stated. – Abraham Lincoln

Thought: Any unfounded suspicions need to be addressed because in these cases, a lack of communication can lead to an array of issues that can be difficult to resolve. It is essential to ascertain whether these suspicions have any validity from trusted sources before making accusations or jumping to conclusions. Ultimately, suspicions which may be unjust need to be stated in order for both parties involved to move on without being held by doubt.

Quote Of The Day January 26, 2023

Be more humble than blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return. – Chaitanya Mahaprabbu

Thought: To truly lead a life of humility and respect is something to strive for. Being humble means understanding that you are not the only one capable of greatness and valuing the accomplishments of others. The same can be said for showing tolerance.

Like trees, we must stand strong in our beliefs while leaving room for those around us to grow and thrive. Rather than expecting those around us to reciprocate our respect, we should always offer it freely without expecting anything in return. A reminder that no matter how small, a blade of grass can still serve as an aspirational example of humility when needed most.

Quote Of The Day January 25, 2023

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

Thought: The power of light is greater than the power of darkness because in a world filled with hate, love only spreads peace. The best way to resolve conflicts is to pour our hearts into it and express our feelings of love. We must show compassion and put forth an effort to make our lives better so that others may have a chance at a better life as well. It’s not just about us, it’s about everyone. Let us all open our minds, take away hatred where ever find it, and bring on more love!

Quote Of The Day January 24, 2023

True happiness is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose. – Helen Keller

Thought: Happiness is often benchmarked by the materialistic attainment of wealth and status in our society, but these markers of success will never truly bring us lasting joy. True happiness can only be found when we commit to following a purpose that is larger than ourselves – something that resonates with our personal values and beliefs.

This can take many forms, such as volunteering, taking on a project to benefit others, or dedicating yourself to improving the world in some way. While this path won’t always be free of challenges, it will give you the satisfaction that comes from having made a meaningful contribution and knowing you have done your best. That feeling can never be replaced by short-term pleasure or material gain.

Quote Of The Day January 23, 2023

The responsibility of tolerance lies with those who have the wider vision.- George Eliot

Thought: In order to foster a spirit of tolerance, we must all recognize our own role in promoting it. Those with a wider vision – those who can understand various points of view and empathize with experiences different from their own – have a special responsibility to set an example of tolerance and respect. We have the power to show greater consideration for each other by engaging in open-minded dialogue, valuing diversity, and seeking out opportunities to learn more about cultures outside of our own. The more open and inclusive we become, the closer we come to achieving true understanding and lasting peace.

Quote Of The Day January 22, 2023

Friends aren’t jumper cables. You don’t throw them into the trunk and pull them out for emergencies. – Charlie Krueger

Thought:Good friends are not just an accessory that we take out of storage when there’s an emergency and then we never use them again. Friends should be part of our everyday life, offering support when it’s needed and standing by you through good times and bad. They are a source of encouragement and motivation; helping you pick yourself up after a difficult situation, offering advice when requested and intervening if necessary.

Quote Of The Day January 21, 2023

Compassion and tolerance are not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength- Dalai Lama

Thought: Compassion and tolerance are often seen as weaknesses in a society that values power, but these admirable traits can also be signs of tremendous strength. Compassion involves empathizing with someone else’s pain and experience, while tolerance involves being able to respect different views and lifestyles. Showing love and respect for all people takes maturity, understanding, and self-restraint — ingredients for building strong relationships between individuals and societies alike.

Quote Of The Day January 20, 2023

The best way to deal with procrastination is to postpone it. – Tony Robbins

Thought: Procrastination can be deceptive and hard to overcome. We tell ourselves that we will do certain tasks at a later time but it never seems to happen. The best way to tackle this issue is to use postponement as a form of self-discipline. Prioritize which tasks are most important and then schedule a later date for less pressing matters.

This allows you to put off the temptation of procrastinating and instead focus on the tasks at hand. Additionally, breaking bigger tasks into more manageable pieces can make them seem much more achievable. Clearly defining what needs to be done and can help these goals appear attainable, thus aiding in fighting against the spirit of procrastination.

Quote Of The Day January 19, 2023

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.- William James

Thought: It is true that everyone has a deep longing in their hearts to be appreciated, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or age. This primal need to feel noticed and accepted is found intrinsically woven into the human condition and can show itself in some fascinating ways.

From memories kept for posterity to attempts to gain attention through acts of kindness, we each have our own unique desires for appreciation. It can be easy to forget this fact during difficult moments, but understanding why we need recognition from others can help us weather the storms life throws at us. Appreciation offers a type of security that nothing else can provide, and as such should never be taken lightly.

Quote Of The Day January 18, 2023

To think too long about doing a thing often becomes its undoing. – Eva Young

Thought: While we all know the dangers of acting without thinking, the drawbacks of overthinking might not be as obvious. As a matter of fact, thinking too long without taking action might even be as dangerous as procrastination. All too often we get stuck in an endless cycle of indecision, worrying and stressing over outcomes that may not even happen.

This can result in us feeling overwhelmed, stuck and lacking the motivation to reach our objectives. It is important to remember that it is perfectly ok, and sometimes necessary, to take a step back and analyze getting different perspectives before taking action, but one should also not get stuck overanalyzing every little detail or they may never move forward. Being mindful of how much time you’re spending overthinking can bring balance to your decision making process without leading you down an unproductive path.

Quote Of The Day January 17, 2023

Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last
time. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory. – Betty Smith

Thought: Life is short…so we have to make the most of it, we all know that. But we should never allow our desire to make the most of things hinder our ability to appreciate life and all that we have and be present in it. Let us pause for breath as tomorrow isn’t guaranteed; appreciate what you have today!

Quote Of The Day January 16, 2023

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace. – Franklin D. Roosevelt

Thought: Human relationships are undoubtedly the fuel that keep our civilization alive and thriving. From the time of our birth to our interactions with others throughout life, the connections we make have an impact on us—but they have an even greater impact on us when those relationships transcend all kinds of boundaries. When different people come together, it can bring out the best in humans, allowing individuals to feel appreciated and understood by one another despite their individual differences.

It is within these moments that a peaceable world becomes feasible, for through understanding and appreciation comes tolerance and respect—the very things which allow us to live peacefully side-by-side in harmony and understanding. Thus, if civilization is to survive, we must nurture this important skill of coexistence among all different kinds of peoples so that we may live together in tranquility.

Quote Of The Day January 14, 2023

I don’t wait for moods. You accomplish nothing if you do that. Your mind must know it has got to get down to work. – Pearl S. Buck

Thought: We’ve all had those moments where we’ve decided to put something on hold because we just weren’t in the mood to get to it right now. Whether it be on the job or some pesky household chore we’ve been needing to take care of for the past few weeks…maybe even months.

But procrastinating and waiting for the right mood, or the right time doesn’t make the items on the agenda any less pressing, waiting around simply wont make them take care of themselves, or disappear all-together. If we do nothing, then nothing gets done. Procrastination is enemy of success and the thief of time, so stop waiting time waiting around and putting stuff off!

Quote Of The Day January 13, 2023

The fear of being laughed at makes cowards of us all – Mignon McLaughlin

Thought: We have all encountered situations in which fear of being laughed at or judged hindered us from speaking up. For example, a person might be uncomfortable to speak their opinion in a group setting or take a step outside of the norm due to an irrational but pervasive belief that they will be judged and laughed at for it.

That kind of fear can have a powerful and damaging effect on our growth and development as individuals, making cowards out of us all by stifling our ability to think and speak freely without judgement. The solution is to recognize our fears, accept them, and make an effort to push through them despite potential judgments from others.

Quote Of The Day January 12, 2023

Limits, like fear, is often an illusion. – Michael Jordan

Thought: The idea that limitation is entirely an illusion stems from how we perceive its boundaries; we can always strive to learn or initiate a new skill even if it may seem impossible at first. Though limits may be difficult to overcome, we should never forget that they are ultimately created by us, not someone or something else. By understanding this fundamental truth we maintain our control over our own lives while also staying open-minded in pursuit of our ambitions.

Accepting others’ life choices is something most people only learn with age.- Neil Strauss

Thought: As we age, we learn the importance of living our own lives, but also respecting those who may have taken an alternate route. We understand that each individual’s journey is unique and valid, no matter how far from our own personal values or lifestyle it may be.

We learn that understanding, acceptance and love are some of the best gifts we can give people. If everyone could develop this understanding throughout their life rather than waiting until they’re older, it would create a much more compassionate world for us all.

Quote Of The Day January 10, 2023

Tolerance is held to be a condition of mind which is encouraged by, and
is necessary for, civilization. – Arthur Keith

Thought: Tolerance is one of the most important aspects of civilization. It is what allows us to live in close proximity to each other without fear or hatred. It is what allows us to respect each other’s differences and learn from each other. Without tolerance, civilization would be impossible.
