Sayings That Changed Me

Hello my dear readers, today I feel like sharing some great quotes that have left ever-lasting impressions on my heart. 

Words: man's best friend and worst enemy. Mere words can turn a coward into a lion, a butterfly into a snake. These words, portray thoughts, intentions, emotions and help us find our way through this world. There have been many a great people in history who have used words to turn defeat into victories, See? All by spewing a choice few words- good or bad.

Similarly, I have come across many beautiful quotes that have helped me in times of need. Words of courage, happiness, even sadness. It is a great feeling when you can relate to someone, The rush you get when you know you're not alone in this world is very refreshing, Thus, here are some beautiful quotes for you guys! Happy reading : 

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can't practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage."Maya Angelou

This is a great saying in itself. Courage may be a fancy notion but it sure takes a lot to show. In this world of competitions, prejudice, rivalries, greed and what not one cannot function properly without courage. The most important ingredient in the recipe of success!


- John Green

It is fascinating how a human mind works. It has the ability to change realities, rationalize, argue, snub but the most precious of all is its ability to imagine. To go far beyond the realms of gravity and reality and conjure a world of our own. Our thoughts, are our beacons of hope. 

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown." - H. P. Lovecraft

All of us have fears. While on principle, it just means we have an active conscience and a thoughtful mindset, it also comes with many drawbacks. Fear is of different kinds but the most fierce and gut-wrenching of all- is the fear of the unknown.

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
  Love like you'll never be hurt,
  Sing like there's nobody listening,
  And live like it's heaven on earth.”  ― William W. Purkey


I'm sure many of you would have already come across this one.  Often, we're held back from doing what we want to do, or being what we want to be, or living the life we desire because we keep thinking of what others would say. This quote taught me to be myself. I may be crap at what I do, but if I'm willing and if I'm confident, I can be better, the best. I can live the way I want to and be happy, Isn't that our number one priority? Happiness.

Everyone is beautiful, what lacks is our approach, our vision. Once we set aside the weighing stereotyping, prejudices and negative thoughts, we will be able to see just how beautiful the world is. We will be able to experience it, live it, be it. So my dear readers, be positive, think positive and you'll feel happy, more confident and beautiful. Start appreciating and stop hating. The world is too beautiful to waste your time on negative things!

“We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” —Albus Dumbledore

We see discrimination everywhere, race, religion, color, language, views. Yet when it really comes down to it, we all are humans. Instead of fighting and trying to get the upper hand, we should come together as one and help eradicate evil and encourage a peaceful way of life.
