The key is in not spending time, but in investing it – Stephen Covey

by
The key is in not spending time, but in investing it - Stephen Covey Time is lost, even before we start thinking about it. Unfortunately, most times we don't treat time with the same respect because something else takes priority. This quote by Stephen Covey, makes us pause and rethink about time as an investment for the future. As much as I like the idea of investing time in the future, I'm conflicted with the thought that disregards the present and treats it as a tool for the future.

Happiness is not by chance: I’ve heard so many definitions of happiness, but none of them seem to make a lot of sense. Some of these quotes talk about taking control of happiness. The other types talk about the importance of letting things be and being a spectator in life. I can see the value in both types of conversations. But the ultimate reality is to find peace in our life and find a way to live with ourselves right? This quote in particular talks about creating happiness and ensuring that we create the circumstances necessary to be happy.

Happiness is not a goal, it’s a by-product of a life well lived

Happiness is not a goal, it's a by-product of a life well lived - Eleanor Roosevelt's Quotes

Happiness is not a goal: I think we have it the wrong way around when we say happiness is a goal in life. If you look long enough, you realise that happiness is elusive. We have better luck finding joy. So, I’d argue that this chase of happiness is not only elusive but a foolish pursuit. We find joy in the things we do, face them in the moment and create memories and narratives around them. In other words, what we face as joy in the current moment ends up being a definition of happiness in some cases. In this case, the quote from Eleanor Roosevelt makes us pause and ask a question about happiness. Is happiness truly the goal of life and if so how do we realise it?

Great minds discuss ideas – Eleanor Roosevelt

Great minds discuss ideas, Average minds discuss events, Small minds discuss people - Eleanor Roosevelt's Quotes

Great minds discuss ideas: It is rather a powerful quote by Eleanor Roosevelt that reminds us of the temptation of gossip and talking about people. As tempting as it is to talk about other people, ideas are more powerful. It is these ideas that rule the world, make changes and question us. These ideas have a powerful way of becoming reality and changing our world. Unless we immerse ourselves in the beauty of these ideas, we’ll remain stuck in the pettiness of distractions.

Faith Is Taking The First Step When You Don’t See the whole staircase

Faith is taking the first step: Faith is a hard thing, right? It asks us to trust in something without seeing the results or proof of it working our way. Yet, we are expected to believe in it without adequate proof. Whether it is a question of religion, confidence or belief in our abilities, this question will remain the same. The answer however is not in having the results but the trust to make it work. And that’s precisely why faith is hard and so many of us lose it along the way. The truth is, sometimes it is important to lose this faith only to find a new one. Everything renews, including the definition of who we are, and what we trust and believe in.

Faith is not something to grasp, it is a state to grow into – Mahatma Gandhi

by
Faith is not something to grasp it is a state to grow into - Mahatma Gandhi quote and meaning on faith, belief and conviction

Faith is not something to grasp: Why do we need to grasp or understand faith? When we try to grasp something, it becomes an intellectual exercise. Faith is about belief, a conviction that doesn’t shake you. Most importantly, it directly connects to your values and even defines who you are as a person. In this article, I don’t mean faith as a religious word. It is just your strong beliefs that hold you together. It fundamentally defines how you think, act and react to situations.

Don’t compare your beginning to Someone else’s middle

Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle: This is such a simple thing but we keep making this mistake over and over. Comparison is one of the biggest challenges in our generation, only because it is so hard not to compare. Our social media constantly bombards us with information about someone else leading a better life and immediately we start questioning why we don’t have it. Jealousy is one thing – it tells us what we want. But this causes envy, leaving us with a pang of paying to say that our life is not good enough.

The only way to discover the limits of the possible

The only way to discover limits is to go beyond them to the impossible - Arthur C Clarke quotes

The only way to discover the limits of the possible meaning: I love these quotes that talk about what’s possible and impossible. You’ll meet a lot of realists in the world who’ll say that something you’re after is not possible. They may be right, but we have to remember that they’re limited by their own experiences. (Optimism vs realism)

All power is within you, Swami Vivekananda

by
All power is within you; you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak; do not believe that you are half-crazy lunatics, as most of us do nowadays. You can do any thing and everything, without even the guidance of any one. Stand up and express the divinity within you

All power is within you: Whenever we find ourselves with reasons about why we can’t do something, we’ll need to think about this quote. There will be situations where we feel powerless and find ourselves in tough situations. But these situations pretend as if it is the end of the world. But there must be … Read more
