Favorite Quotes
One of my daily morning practices is to read various quotes to inspire and fortify my spirit. Reading these quotes has a powerful impact on me as I perceive them as nuggets of wisdom. At times, I feel as though these special phrases are messages from the universe to guide and coach me. Some of these quotes have resonated so deeply that they have become a mantra in my journey. Here are the top quotes that have great meaning for me.
- “Create the highest, grandest vision possible for your life, because you become what you believe.” ~ Oprah Winfrey: For this quote, there are 2 major aspects that are important. First, I believe that we all should create a grand vision for our journey because each and every one of us are meant to do great things. I try my best to regularly take the time to visualize my ideal journey, and strive to make it better each day when I read this quote. Second, whatever I believe in, I have noticed that I do become it. For example, if I believe that I am a good honest employee, then my actions and words will demonstrate this belief. Therefore, by creating the best ideal version of myself and my journey, and truly believing it, I know that will eventually become it.
- “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.” ~ Henry David Thoreau: For a certain period of my journey, I did not live the life that I imagined as I was told that I should be focusing on other things (e.g. find a partner) or that my dreams were not possible. However, I recently realized that I can manifest anything in my journey if I believe in it, and that I can create the life that I crave for. Whenever I read this quote, it reminds me that I should be confident about my dreams and my journey, and not let what others say make me believe otherwise.
- “God sometimes takes us into troubled waters not to drown us but to cleanse us.": In the past, whenever I faced a tough situation, I would think negatively about it and felt that God was being unfair to me. However, now I realized that I need to go through the ‘troubled waters’ so that I can either resolve past karmas or learn something about myself. This quote is a great reminder for me that tough situations are opportunities for me to ‘cleanse’ or purify myself so that I can be one with the higher consciousness.
It is so fascinating how a phrase can be packed with knowledge to give me the right inspiration I need to stay focused on my journey.
