Knowing it will surely put your mind at ease… Comforting words by great and famous figures (1–10)
Your happiness in life depends on the quality of your thoughts.NEW!Marcus Aurelius Antoninus
Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, one of the Five Good Emperors and the 16th Roman emperor.
He is also known for leaving behind his work Meditations, and can be regarded as a model of a philosopher-king who preferred learning over war.
He was also a thinker within Stoic philosophy.
The happiness of life changes according to the quality of one’s own thoughts.
Controlling the mind and emotions through thought also affects how we ultimately interpret things.
In other words, a single way of thinking can make you happy—or unhappy.
Only those who can love deeply can also experience great pain.NEW!Leo Tolstoy
Leo Tolstoy is a great Russian writer known for War and Peace and Anna Karenina.
This quote of his is something to remember when you’re heartbroken.
It’s precisely because you loved someone so deeply that, when you lose that love, you feel a pain as if you were being torn apart.
It’s proof that the person was that important to you, something precious and hard to lose.
It may become a painful memory, but I believe the experience of loving someone that strongly will help you grow.
Once you’ve done everything you can, leave the results to others.Golda Meir
The longer we keep piling up our efforts without seeing clear outcomes, the more anxious we tend to feel about where those efforts are leading.
These are the words of Golda Meir, presenting a mindset that, by daring to entrust the outcome to others, helps turn that anxiety toward the future.
She urges us to focus first on doing what we can without thinking about the results—what matters is simply tackling the tasks within our reach, without worrying about how they’ll be judged later.
She speaks powerfully about the importance of not overthinking and committing ourselves to steady, continuous effort.
You must not mistake a single defeat for a decisive one.F. Scott Fitzgerald
When we’re moving toward a goal, we all encounter failure or defeat somewhere along the way—and sometimes that becomes a reason to give up.
Here is a thought from F.
Scott Fitzgerald on how to face such failures and how to think so that we can keep moving forward.
He tells us that defeat is something everyone experiences and isn’t a big deal; it’s the belief that it’s final that stops us in our tracks.
It’s an encouraging message that helps us view failure as just another bit of experience gained on the journey, and to take it more lightly.
Suffering is a byproduct born from growth. It never ends with just that.Iris Murdoch
In life we go through many kinds of suffering, and they leave various marks on our hearts.
Focusing on why such suffering arises as we live—and including the idea that it isn’t necessarily a bad thing—these are the words of Iris Murdoch.
She suggests that suffering is something that emerges as we grow, and that it is important because it can become the catalyst for further growth.
The point that it is not a sign of the end is also crucial, and these words seem to give us the courage to take a brave first step.
It’s okay to be kinder to yourself.Adrienne Rich
When you’re striving toward high ideals, you naturally take on difficult challenges, and your expectations for yourself gradually rise.
It’s precisely at such times that Adrienne Rich’s words remind us of the importance of being gentle with ourselves.
Choosing self-kindness helps calm the mind, approach things with composure, and set out toward the future with renewed spirit.
These are words I hope those who are worn out from trying too hard will remember—a perfect prompt to take a break.
Only you understand your own worth.Pearl Bailey
When you take on a challenge, it’s natural to care about how others see you—and sometimes that becomes a barrier along the way.
Here are the words of Pearl Bailey, which deliberately suggest that seeking others’ understanding isn’t what matters.
Only you truly understand your own values, so don’t let others sway you—just follow the path you believe in.
Her words can also prompt you to remember your beginnings: what you cherish and what you set out to achieve.
