It's nice to learn about other quote web sites aside from Brainyquotes which I frequent. I love quotes. They have inspired me in many ways. One of my favorites are life quotes. Here are samples from Quotelicious.com:

— Mandy Hale
MY TAKE: I realized that a great life does not equate to a life with lots of money only. A lot of rich people are not happy. It is how a life is well-lived by having that attitude of positivity and hope.

MY TAKE: I really cannot understand why people choose to be indifferent which is mostly a result of jealousy or insecurity. Instead of finding a good reason to smile by doing something productive for their lives, they focus on others who have nicer clothes, or shoes, better paying jobs, or big houses, and fault-find to find satisfaction for themselves. Utterly ridiculous and pitiful.

MY TAKE : One commenter thought that inspiration we get from disability is a kind of objectification. I disagree. It is rather a strong motivational thing to show the world that despite the disability, life goes on. My husband is a physically challenged man. After the stroke, the situation changed. He had to stay at home with the kids (with my MIL, too) and I had to go to work. He raised pigs to augment the family expenses. This he did while taking care of the children. I took part of the 'taking care' after an 8-hour office work. There were a lot of stories to tell. To wrap it up, he was such an inspiration that was also an example not to give up despite the trials.
Love the quotes! Especially the one about having a great attitude. One the best lessons my mom taught me is to always find the silver lining in any cloud. Following this has made all the difference in my life. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love inspirational quotes too, and, in fact, follow several pages on Facebook just for those quotes. But my very favorite is actually from Dr. Seuss: Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.
ReplyDeleteThe man really was a genius and was able to simplify the most basic things we fail to recognize, in a way that people of all ages could understand.
YW, Kathie! that is one great lesson your mom has taught you. unfortunately, not all kids have moms that have the capability to share lessons because they have other priorities. their children's well-being are not one. :(
ReplyDeleteDr. Seuss is cool! :) I'll be sharing this in FB! :)
