While at work, I came across these simple one liners
that are bound to change how you look at life. I tried looking for the original
online article on this and found Marc and Angel's Practical Tips for Productive Living.
These are simple tips in order to stay positive and
progressive in today’s world.
*****
1. You cannot change what you refuse to
confront.
2. Sometimes good things fall apart so
better things can fall together.
3. Don’t think of cost. Think of value.
4. Sometimes you need to distance
yourself to see things clearly.
5. Too many people buy things they
don’t need with money they don’t have to impress people they don’t know.
6. No matter how many mistakes you make
or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
7. If a person wants to be a part of
your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. Think twice before
reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.
8. Making one person smile can change
the world – maybe not the whole world, but their world.
9. Saying someone is ugly doesn’t make
you any prettier.
10. The only normal people you know are
the ones you don’t know very well.
11. Life is 10% of what happens to you
and 90% of how you react to it.
12. The most painful thing is losing
yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are
special too.
13. It’s better to be alone than to be
in bad company.
14. As we grow up, we realize it becomes
less important to have more friends and more important to have real ones.
15. Making a hundred friends is not a
miracle. The miracle is to make a single friend who will stand by your side
even when hundreds are against you.
16. Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re
weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go and
move on.
17. Don’t say you don’t have enough
time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to
Heller Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas
Jefferson, Albert Einstein, etc…
18. If you really want to do something,
you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.
19. Don’t choose the one who is beautiful
to the world; choose the one who makes your world beautiful.
20. Falling in love is not a choice. To
stay in love is.
21. True love isn’t about being
inseparable; it’s about two people being true to each other even when they are
separated.
22. While you’re busy looking for the
perfect person, you’ll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you
perfectly happy.
23. Never do something permanently
foolish just because you are temporarily upset.
24. You can learn great things from your
mistakes when you aren’t busy denying them.
25. In life, if you don’t risk anything,
you risk everything.
26. When you stop chasing the wrong
things, you give the right things a chance to catch you.
27. Every single thing that has ever
happened in your life is preparing you for a moment that is yet to come.
28. There isn’t anything noble about
being superior to another person. True nobility is in being superior to the
person you once were.
29. Trying to be someone else is a waste
of the person you are.
30. You will never become who you want
to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.
31. People are more what they hide than
what they show.
32. Sometimes people don’t notice the
things others do for them until they stop doing them.
33. Don’t listen to what people say,
watch what they do.
34. Being alone does not mean you are
lonely, and being lonely does not mean you are alone.
35. Love is not about sex, going on
fancy dates, or showing off. It’s about being with a person who makes you happy
in a way nobody else can.
36. Anyone can come into your life and
say how much they love you. It takes someone really special to stay in your
life and show how much they love you.
37. Burn the candles, use the nice
sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion; today is
special.
38. Love and appreciate your parents. We
are often so busy growing up, we forget they are also growing old.
39. When you have to start compromising
yourself and your morals for the people around you, it’s probably time to
change the people around you.
40. Learn to love yourself first,
instead of loving the idea of other people loving you.
41. When someone tells you, “You’ve
changed,” it might simply be because you’ve stopped living your life their way.
42. Someone else doesn’t have to be
wrong for you to be right.
43. Be happy. Be yourself. If others
don’t like it, then let them be. Happiness is a choice. Life isn’t about
pleasing everybody.
44. When you’re up, your friends know
who you are. When you’re down, you know who your friends are.
45. Don’t look for someone who will
solve all your problems; look for someone who will face them with you.
46. If you expect the world to be fair
with you because you are fair, you’re fooling yourself. That’s like expecting
the lion not to eat you because you didn’t eat him.
47. No matter how good or bad you have
it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is
desperately fighting for theirs.
48. The smallest act of kindness is
worth more than the grandest intention.
49. Many people are so poor because the
only thing they have is money.
50. Learn to appreciate the things you
have before time forces you to appreciate the things you once had.
51. When you choose to see the good in
others, you end up finding the good in yourself.
52. You don’t drown by falling in the
water. You drown by staying there.
53. It’s better to know and be
disappointed than to never know and always wonder.
54. There are things that we don’t want
to happen but have to accept, things we don’t want to know but have to learn,
and people we can’t live without but have to let go.
55. Happiness is not determined by
what’s happening around you, but rather what’s happening inside you. Most
people depend on others to gain happiness, but the truth is, it always comes
from within.
56. If you tell the truth, it becomes a
part of your past. If you lie, it becomes a part of your future.
57. What you do every day matters more
than what you do every once in a while.
58. You can’t start the next chapter of
your life if you keep re-reading your last one.
59. Things turn out best for people who
make the best out of the way things turn out.
60. If you don’t like something, change
it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it.
