Here are 7 quotes that can inspire us

• Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow— Helen Keller

When you look into the sunlight, what happens sometimes makes you feel a little dizzy, a little dark, however, notice on when you are looking into the sunlight what is behind you is complete darkness. So, that’s when you cannot see the darkness, your shadow. So, you must keep looking into the sunshine no matter how strong the light can be because all that is behind you is shadow. Many obstacles have come up this year for most of us, wherein we feel negative, we feel sad but here this quote inspires me a lot and taught me to see into the light no matter how strong or dark it may seem.

• Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results—- Willie Nelson

A lot of always asked me what it is that keeps us going and what makes me positive. So, when we have negative thoughts, negative emotions about certain people then everything come out of it is always bad. Now, if we change that thought into a positive one, we will really start to see positive results. Now, this can be done simply by shifting your thinking process. A shift of positive attitude will leave me with a positive thought and a positive feeling.

• Yesterday is not ours to recover, but tomorrow is ours to win or lose— Lyndon B. Johnson

Yesterday is not ours to recover, so stop living in the past. It is so important to live in the here and now. Yesterday is not something we can go and recover but we do have today and we do have tomorrow which is ours to win or to lose. So, focus on what is with you today, what is with you now. If today seems a lot more appetising to you, so, go for it. If today feels a little difficult for you then figure a way to deal with it. So, let’s stop dwelling into the past and stop regretting the decisions we made or didn’t made and focus more on today and tomorrow.

• In order to carry a positive action, we must develop here a positive vision—Dalai Lama

So, lot of us keep on saying that “I don’t do anything positive.” Negative visions give us negative vibes that can never lead to positive actions. If we keep letting our past, affect our today or tomorrow, we are never going to develop a positive vision. We are never going to have a feeling that we can do better. We are never going to have positive action.

• Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power—William James

So, when we keep on thinking about negative thoughts, it leads to weak moments, it leads to weak thoughts. But when we think optimistically, it leads to powerful thoughts, it leads to powerful actions. Life is all about positive and negative, plus and minus. So, as we move ahead to a New Year, we must take a positive charge and eliminate the negative charges that we have in our life.

• Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference— Winston Churchill

Attitude is such a tiny thing but it is something that can change the whole game. Attitude shift is extremely important so that you can think differently, feel differently and then act differently. So, it’s how you respond to things.

• In every day, there are 1440 minutes. That means we have 1440 daily opportunities to make a positive impact. – Les Brown

We always talk about we don’t have time. But we often forget that we all have been given the same amount of time. The only thing that can make a difference is attitude. So, it’s up to us what we do with our daily opportunities because what you put in your glass it what you consume it.
