Do you have a motivational quote?

Mine is, “I make no mistakes because I’m always learning.” It helps me recover from any disappointment.

What’s your motivational quote? Let’s make this motivation Monday friends💛

‘I Expect Nothing So I Don’t Suffer Disappointment’.

This is so powerful, having expectations sets me up for disappointment, so I stopped having any. 😜🌺💜

in reply to

I love that!! Going in without expectations is a skill I want to practice 💛

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

It helps me not to judge people and to help others out

That one is awesome for depression

"Without suffering there is no joy, without joy, there is no suffering "

in reply to

That one is awesome. How can we appreciate what we have without the struggle?

in reply to

Yes. From Buddha

No but I was on the bus the other day and this senior lady was coming out with a load of gems

"We all need some me time" was the first piece of advice she gave the guy who had struck up a conversation with her actually he was kind of complaining about his life and talking about having a day off work

"its a good job we can't see what 's around the corner " was another

The other was " don't lose your sense of humour"

I really admired this lady

in reply tolillyofthevalley37

She sounds awesome. I feel like the wisdom from older people who have been on this planet longer is ignored too often.

Choose whatever you let rent space in your brain !!

I like the rent part. It isn’t permanent

Well :)

a quote that motivates me to get going in the morning if I'm facing roadblocks of my own making, isn't from someone famous and isn't too pretty but it usually works :

screw it! (G rated version)

in reply to

Simple, I bet it’s effective 😜

“Everything that happens to me is the best possible thing that could happen to me!” From Zen and the art of happiness.

I love it so much, it’s basically what kept me going and not dwelling on the past.

Also

“If you don’t know something for sure, then don’t think about it” by Me 😂. Basically, “if you don’t have all the facts then don’t give it your energy”👌🏻

in reply toSoniaGorgeous

I love both of them but especially the second one. So often I make up something in my head that is completely inaccurate and not based in fact and then I start spinning. Good reminder!!

I really like a good quote. A few of my faves are:

If your not happy with what you've got, how can you be happy with more.

Everyone needs a habit. Make it a good one.

The grass maybe greener on the other side but it's just as hard to mow.

in reply toStarsgoblue

I haven’t heard any of those! I strive to be content in the present. So good

Starsgoblue in reply to

It's called the present because it's a gift.

Sorry! 🙄

in reply toStarsgoblue

No I love that one! I use it all the time
