10 of the Most Inspiring Quotes of All Time
Quote #1
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs
You should only listen to yourself, because no matter how close someone is to you, they can never know what you truly want and what your dreams are.
Quote #2
“If you are not pursuing your passion, then you really have nothing to lose.” – Celestine Chua
Some people are subjected to living a robot-life, as their day consists only of waking up, going to work, watching TV, and sleeping. If you live such a life, you need to remember what your passion is, and pursue it, because only that will bring meaning to your life.
Quote #3
“Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe is by letting go of it. Let go and it will be yours forever.” – Deepak Chopra
We tend to experience a lot of pain when holding on to something that is already lost. Only by letting go of it will we know how to appreciate what we had and just as importantly, opening the door to more abundance.
Quote #4
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” – John Lennon
People are so focused on certain careers and ways to prosper in the material world that they often forget what the real treasure in our lives is.
Quote #5
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” – Mahatma Gandhi
People tend to think you are crazy when you present a big idea to them, but after all of the stages mentioned above are finished, you will always leave victorious.
Quote #6
“People who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” – Steve Jobs
Just like we mentioned in our comment regarding the previous quote, when you have a big and revolutionary idea inside your head, you will just look like a crazy man to all people around you. But, just keep at it, as it is the only way you will make a change in the world you live in.
Quote #7
“History shows us that the people who end up changing the world – the great political, social, scientific, technological, artistic, even sports revolutionaries – are always nuts, until they are right, and then they are geniuses.” – John Eliot
Following the idea of the previous two quotes, people who are narrow-minded will never be able to see the importance and seriousness of your ideas. But, once you prove them wrong, they will admire you all of a sudden.
Quote #8
“Focus on the journey, not the destination.” – Greg Anderson
If you keep your eyes on the prize all the time, you will never achieve anything. Instead, focus on every step of the path to the prize.
Quote #9
“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Have faith, and go with your heart for only a small portion of your path. If you trust your heart, you will never know how things will end, but you will always know that you did the right thing for yourself.
Quote #10
“I don’t believe in luck. Luck = Leaving things to chance and outside world. I believe in being harbingers of our fate, taking action and creating our own path and destiny in life. Your life is yours to create – Don’t let others do it for you.” – Celestine Chua
There is no such thing as luck, you have to take your life into your own hands and make the road you want to travel on by yourself.
