15 Quotes That Will Change The Way You View The World
Live Bold And Bloom

When we see the world and life, we often make our judgments about it through our own personal experiences and the opinions of others. When we view the world in a negative way, or when we feel like life isn't going our way, we make decisions that affect how we see the world. And then, there's a good chance that they way we view the world becomes the way we view ourselves. Here are 15 quotes that will change your perspective on the world and life.

1.) "Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." When life isn't on your side or when you feel like the whole world is against you, remember that in order to see the light, we must have darkness.

2.) "Some of the best days of our lives haven't happened yet." We all have bad days, but those bad days don't make a bad life. It's okay to have bad days, just remember that everyday won't be bad.

3.) (One of my favorites), "There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind." -C.S. Lewis. We all make mistakes, but we don't have to let them define us. Don't dwell on past mistakes and failures, they only blind us from seeing what is yet to come.

4.) “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I’ll try again tomorrow.– Mary Anne Radmacher.


5.) "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." - Maya Angelou. We may not remember the details, but we'll always remember the impact a person had on us.

6.) "A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not what ships are for." -William G.T. Shedd. We can be safe and comfortable at home, but the point of life is to experience adventure and live it to the fullest. Be brave and you'll have the time of your life.

7. ) "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Winston Churchill. Keep on going when the going gets tough.

8.) "No one is busy in this world. It's all about priorities.". " The next time you say you're busy, know that it's an excuse. If you truly prioritize something, you will make time for it. Be it relationships, friendships, or something else — you always have time for anything if you make time."

9.) "We judge ourselves by our intentions. And others by their actions." - Stephen A. Covey. Remember that others' intentions may not match their actions.

10.) "I know for sure what we dwell on is who we become." -Oprah Winfrey. A negative mind will always give you a negative life. A positive mind will always give you a positive life.

11.) "For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness." -Ralph Waldo Emerson. Don't waste your precious time holding grudges, let go and be free.

12.) “What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” -C.S. Lewis

13.) “Your perspective on life comes from the cage you were held captive in.” -Shannon L. Alder. Don't base your opinions from the opinions of those who surround you. Live your own adventure and form your own opinion.

14.) “How good something is should never be determined by its cost, designer, origin, or its perceived value by others.” -Ashly Lorenzana. This is pretty self-explanatory.

15.) "Because when you stop and look around, this life is pretty amazing" - Dr. Seuss."

I decided to end these 15 quotes with one of my favorite quotes ever. No, it might not change the way you look at the world, but it definitely opens your eyes to your amazing life.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
