Do you have a quote that you live by?

[ineedatan]

What's a quote or two that has stuck with you and helped to motivate you? Or perhaps resonates with you because it was told to you by someone of importance or perhaps you read it from somewhere? What was it that you were going through?

Some of my favorites are:

"Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't" - Jerry Rice (a reminder to keep pushing forward in life)

"Take only memories, leave only footprints" - Chief Seattle (a quote I live by when traveling)

If she's amazing, she won't be easy. If she's easy, she won't be amazing. If she's worth it, you won't give up. If you give up, you're not worthy. Truth is, everybody is going to hurt you; you just have to find the ones worth suffering for" - Bob Marley (a quote on self love and worth)

There’s two:
“Nothing is going to hit you as hard as life, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. It ain’t about how hard you can hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, that’s how winning is done”

Another one is:
“Money will carry everyone but not everyone can carry money”

[ineedatan]

Those are two deep and insightful quotes! Truly powerful, I've jotted them both down in a notebook. Thank you!

the philosophical angles explored by marx, debord and zizek only reflect my own opinions of what life should really be. to suggest i live my life by the word of a silly meme would be wholey wrong but i do recognize so many kids of the internet age do this. its really sad in my view

"When I'm in a slump, I comfort myself by saying if I believe in dinosaurs, then somewhere, they must be believing in me. And if they believe in me, then I believe in me. Then I get out" - Mookie Wilson

There is no higher law than to do what thou Wilt.

The easily offended are easily manipulated.

In a war of words, your tongue must become iron.

Live your life so that you don't look back with regrets for the things you should have but didn't do, and make decisions so that you will look back and see proud of how you conducted your life.

Awesome words to live by! Thanks for sharing that!

The almighty never helped someone who didn't help themselves.

For me, I learned the hard way that to survive and eventually thrive, you can't hope or pray, you need to work for it.
Once you work for it, God will start to open doors 😃

[ineedatan]

Thanks for that reminder! Yes, I see it a handful of times, many wait around for things to happen without putting any effort to lead for success and move forward to create opportunities. Then you have those that have windows open for them, but they're glued to starring at the door and wanting it to open instead of a window. Your quote reminded me of the little boy's joke from the movie, "The Pursuit of Happiness" 🙂 - was such a quick moment, but a powerful one. I pasted the clip below.

I love that scene so much.
It's actually one of the best jokes I have ever heard haha. It's not only funny but insightful.

Keep pushing, and God will always help you ❤❤❤

In all the empty places you must walk?

My own is “Life is nothing and mortal, legacy is everything and immortal!” 👌🏻

I also follow mottos of my hero, Tom Six, “Decay in style” and “An unhealthy mind in an unhealthy body” 👏🏻
