The power of inspirational stuff

I make it a point to either watch an inspiring movie, read an inspiring short story and/or read short quotes at least twice a week. Even though I already feel motivated and inspired, it is always good get even more inspired by such stories/movies/quotes. Never ever underestimate the power of such inspiring information. I would advise everyone to try to read at least one inspirational short story/movie a week, even if it is a story that you have already read a hundred times. I know of a friend who has watched the movie, 'The Secret' thirty times and he is doing extremely well in every aspect of his life. Whe I ask him why he continues to watch the movie, he says 'It makes me feel good'. That says it all. When one feels good, it is not only good for your own physical and mental well being, but also for your loved ones and those who come into contact with as you would be 'spreading' the positive energy. Keep on smiling!

Here are some quotes to keep you feeling great and/or make you stop and think for a moment!) and ready to start writing out your new year resolution/s. Enjoy!

1.) With great power comes great responsibility
From Spiderman (2002)

Why I like it: It reminds those who has already achieved success not to forget to lend a helping hand to those who might need it.

2.) Falling in love is awfully simple, but falling out of love is simply awful

Why I like it: It makes you respect the awesome power of love.

3.) I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
Marilyn Monroe

Why I like it: What a beautiful quote. It really makes you appreciate the simple things in life, or anything that goes well for you, for that matter.

4.) What you see depends on what you're looking for.

Why I like it: It is very true indeed. Sometimes we just 'overlook' things on purpose just to get something else that we might have been trying to get. It is also good as it makes us realise that we should remain focused on wahetever we would like to achieve.

5.) "Don't lose hope. When the sun goes down, the stars come out."

Why I like it: We should appreciate that although things might not be going well, it will always pass and something good would come out of it eventually. It just keeps us going!

6.) Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Why I like it: How true! A lot of people do not realise how much being angry actually affects them more than the person/situation that they are angry at. Keeping a lot of anger/hate inside of you could lead to long term damage to one's physical and mental health. I shall discuss about anger in greater detail next time.

7.) One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure its worth watching.


Why I like it: It reminds us to live life to the fullest!

8.) To those who can dream there is no such place as faraway.

Why I like it: It shows that everyone can dream of anything...and I really mean ANYTHING! No dream is too huge or there is no such thing as 'impossible'.

9.) Never, never, never, never give up
Winston Churchill

Why I like it: Short and straight to the point.

10.) Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take.
Anthony Robbins

Why I like it: It makes you realise the importance of having a giving attitude in a relationship, regardless of the other person's views about the relationship.

Enjoy writing out your New Year resolutions!
