It’s never too late to become the person you wanted to be.George Eliot
These are words left to us by George Eliot, who was active as a writer in Britain and is known for works such as Adam Bede and Middlemarch.
While many people give up feeling they’ve missed the right moment, she shows a way of thinking that asks whether now might be the time to begin.
When starting something, the very desire to begin is what matters most—she conveys a message urging us to take the plunge with resolve.
Even when it feels like the timing has slipped away, the strength of your intention can carry you through; her words also communicate the importance of willpower.
Some believe that clinging makes you stronger. But sometimes, letting go is what makes you strong.Hermann Hesse
Persevering without giving up in anything cultivates strong mental fortitude.
Yet sometimes, letting go itself can be what leads to strength.
That is what the writer Hermann Hesse tells us.
Letting go of something seems simple, but it is difficult.
If it is something precious, you will waver all the more.
Precisely because of that, if you can find the courage to decide to let it go, you will grow once again and become stronger.
This quote both makes us consider what we truly need and gently acknowledges and accepts the sorrow and pain of letting go.
You’ve got the wind at your back.
A headwind signifies adversity, while a tailwind, conversely, indicates that things are moving in your favor.
Saying that a tailwind is at your back conveys a message that the other person’s goals and dreams are within easier reach.
Even if they actually feel a headwind, this message communicates a warm intention to support them.
If it reaches them at the final push, it might help them make one more effort.
Please share it with someone important to you.
There’s a choir in my head cheering you on with all their might.
A choir in your head! Just imagining it is fun, and you can feel how earnest it is.
By adding just a single word like “choir,” the strength of your feelings—something that can’t be seen from simply saying you’re cheering someone on—will come across clearly.
Isn’t it also interesting that the image of the cheer squad comes from the other person? By sending this message, a cheer squad might form in their mind, flipping the switch to “All right, let’s do this!” I’m sure it will become a reassuring ally for them!
Sweat is the highlight of effort; I’m shining again today.
When these words are offered as encouragement, it feels as if the very attitude of moving toward your goal is being acknowledged.
Rather than focusing on results or progress, they shine a light on your “forward-facing effort,” allowing you to affirm your steps just as they are.
Instead of trying to rouse you, they tell you that the way you’re currently engaging is good, so you don’t tense up unnecessarily and can accept it honestly.
It’s something that makes you smile in the moment, and later on helps you cheer yourself on, lifting your spirits with the thought, “I’m shining!”
Encouraging words that give you energy. Words you’ll want to share with those around you (41–50)
No getting depressed. When you smile, happiness comes to you before wrinkles do.
This message first grabs your attention with the humorous metaphor “happiness before wrinkles.” It makes you chuckle and helps you relax.
But it’s not just about a laugh—the important part is that it’s infused with the wish to lighten the other person’s heart.
Behind the words is a thoughtful intention to accept someone who’s feeling down without denying them, and to offer a bit of reassurance.
The laughter is only a means; what truly appeals is how the speaker’s kindness and consideration come through.
Because the phrase balances wit and warmth, it offers gentle encouragement that lets you laugh while still feeling supported.
Having the courage to rest when you’ve pushed yourself too hard suits you.
Isn’t it often the most earnest people who end up pushing themselves too hard? Even when they’ve already done enough, anxiety makes them try to do even more… For people like that, we want them to take a little rest, don’t we? But simply telling them to rest might not get through to them.
So let’s use this message to draw out their courage and tell them that this wonderful courage is what makes them who they are.
Precisely because time is limited, perhaps taking a rest itself can be called a form of effort.
