We all see them every single day. On instagram captions, facebook rants and of course, subtweets. The inspirational quotes are sure to turn up in your feed at least 3 times a day so let’s have some fun and talk about what I think they mean!
“ The more you let go, the higher you rise.”
This one is pretty self-explanatory and 10000000% true in my opinion. I think we as human beings tend to hold on to so much, we don’t even realize it! Whether we’re hoarding actual THINGS, holding a grudge against someone, or just sticking with the same comfortable people in our lives because they’re comfortable, or its easier….we end up holding ourselves down. I think this quote is trying to inspire people to finally make a decision to declutter their minds and their lives and make room for the things that will help take them to the next level of their life.
“Sometimes the things we can’t change, end up changing us”
This is one of my favorites! So often we spend time trying to change someone or something that just WONT. This is the point it takes for us to sometimes take a step back and realize that all you can do, is all you can do. So when something isn’t changing or working out the way you want it to, you have to change yourself in some way. Maybe that means becoming a person who doesn’t accept what you’ve been offered. Maybe you change your perspective and try and be more positive about the situation and take every good moment you can! It’s all situational but I love this quote so much for the fact that it forces you to look at things differently, like “maybe this isn’t supposed to change for me, maybe I have to change in order to see it differently.” I don’t mean this as in you should ever change who you are for someone else, or anything like that, but I mean maybe you have to change your attitude, or your mindset, or your process of doing things in order to get what you want.
“Some people are so poor, all they have is money”
Now im not one of those people who believes that money is the root of all evil, because I think there’s a lot more that creates evil than money, or greed. I think it’s when people start to see money as the most important thing, the thing that defines them, that it becomes dangerous. I honestly believe it is sad to see people who just want to increase the finances. There is SO much MORE to life than money, and while I aspire to be wealthy myself, there is so much more that I want besides money. I want health, I want true love, I want kids and the joy they will bring, I want time to spend with my family, I want to fall asleep knowing that I’m doing work that fulfills my purpose everyday, I want to help people. So for me, it is sad to see someone so destitute and ignorant in life that all they have to measure themselves by is their bank account. I think this quote can also be inspiring in the “wake up call” kind of way that forces you to think about more than just your financial gameplay, but also your life plan and how you’re going to create happiness.
“ The more you let go, the higher you rise” really resonates with me. From letting go of grudges to making room to new things, I couldn’t agree more.
Your post reminded me of something I read that said something like every person you meet (even the negative ones or those that test you) will teach you something about yourself. I’ve turned bad situations/people into positive learnings like patience and self respect. We can’t change anyone, but we can change our mindsets and how we react. Self-discovery is an amazing thing! I love these quotes, would love to hear more!
