Category: Thought For The Day

Today’s quotes all deal with the subject of reacting, something I’ve and I’m sure many others have done countless times in life without thinking or putting any thought whatsoever to our actions, only to regret it later. So I sought out some great quotes that helped in a motivational way for that…

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.” (Charles R. Swindoll)

“Don’t react to toxic people. Not giving them a reaction when they desperately seek it, is far more powerful.” (Unknown)

“I used to spend so much time reacting and responding to everyone else that my life had no direction. Other people’s lives, problems, and wants set the course for my life. Once I realized it was okay for me to think about and identify what I wanted, remarkable things began to take place in my life.” (Melody Beattie)

“When you react to a person’s negative comments or actions in an angry way, then you are giving that person power over you. If a person can easily get a rise from you, then you are no longer in control. If you take a moment and respond in a calm, healthy, honest and real way, then you are in control and not allowing anyone to take your power away or invoke a reaction from you.” (Maria Consiglio)

It seems far easier to dwell on all the things we perceive as negative in our lives, or on this planet for that matter, yet I continue to see how expressing daily gratitude becomes a far more positive action upon our lives, and our souls, hence the reason for today’s quotes…

“It’s a funny thing about life, once you begin to take note of the things you are grateful for, you begin to lose sight of the things you lack.” (Germany Kent)

“Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency and you will attract much better things.” (Rhonda Byrne)

“Be grateful for what you already have while you pursue your goals. If you aren’t grateful for what you already have, what makes you think you would be happy with more?” (Roy T. Bennett)

“Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings.” (William Arthur Ward)

I didn’t necessarily have a theme for today’s inspiring quotes. I merely wanted to share some I felt a connection with where I am at right now in life that I found helped me to keep going for one more day…

“Life is not about having everything. It’s about finding meaning in everything.” (Joel Randymar)

“Never speak from a place of hate, jealousy, anger, or insecurity. Evaluate your words before you let them leave your lips. Sometimes it’s best to be quiet.” (Tony A. Gaskins Jr.)

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow.” (Mary Anne Radmacher)

“I have endured pain and loss. I have felt broken. I have known hardship, and I have felt lost and alone. But here I stand, trying to move forward, one day at a time. I will remember the lessons in my life because they are making me who I am. Stronger. A warrior.” (Unknown)
