Short but moving words to remember when your heart is tired (21–30)
Do what you can, and then just worry quietly in your heart about the rest. Things will only turn out the way they’re going to anyway.NEW!Katsu Kaishū
After you’ve given everything you’ve got, all you can do is hope for success.
As Katsu Kaishū’s famous saying teaches, if there’s nothing more you can do, you just have to stay calm and let things take their course.
Being able to do that comes from having done all you can and having no regrets about the time you’ve spent.
Being able to feel that way is itself a kind of success, and an experience you need.
If you can say you’ve poured out all the strength you have, be proud of yourself no matter the result.
The key to resisting stress is being moved—above all else. And it’s also the secret to a long life.NEW!Shigeta Saitō
There are times in our daily lives when stress and fatigue build up, aren’t there? This quote is from Shigeta Saitō, a psychiatrist, essayist, and honorary director of Saitō Hospital.
Being moved or deeply touched can ease the stress in your brain and help relax your mind.
In your current surroundings, recall small joys, good things that happened, and moments that moved you, and allow yourself to feel happy.
In a world often called a stressful society, this may be a quote that gives you courage.
If you fail, you can try again. If trying again doesn’t work, think it through once more and try again.NEW!Konosuke Matsushita
This quote teaches us that failure is a necessary experience for success and not the end of things.
These are the words of Konosuke Matsushita, a Japanese entrepreneur known as the “god of management.” From this saying, we can sense that even he, a successful figure, went through many failures and overcame them time and again.
When you feel your spirit may break after a major failure, or when repeated failures leave you on the verge of giving up, these words will support you.
It might be just right to think of failure as a chance to try something new and inventive.
Happiness is always decided by your own heart.NEW!Mitsuo Aida
Everyone wants to meet expectations and be praised, right? But if you focus only on others’ voices, before you know it your heart can become exhausted and you may lose sight of yourself.
This famous quote by Mitsuo Aida reminds you of something simple yet easily forgotten.
What does happiness mean to you? Try thinking about it without the voices around you.
Listening to your heart and following it honestly is nothing anyone should blame you for.
Love is not about gazing at each other, but about looking together in the same direction.Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
When we think of love, we often picture gazing into each other’s eyes or helping one another through difficult times.
Of course, these are also actions that stem from affection.
In a broader sense, though, love might be about respect for the other person.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, author of The Little Prince, expressed this in a famous quote: “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.” By respecting your partner and empathizing with their vision of the future—then moving forward together—you may be able to navigate life better.
If you feel out of sync with your partner, why not pause for a moment and reflect on this quote?
Loneliness is a chance to think deeply. Having many friends does not necessarily mean being happy.Akihiro Miwa
MiwA Akihiro has been active across a wide range of fields—singer, actor, voice actor, narrator, and television personality.
His career as a singer began in 1951, and after hits like “Meke Meke,” he also appeared in films and on stage.
In 1997, he voiced the wolf god, Moro, in Studio Ghibli’s Princess Mononoke, which drew a lot of attention.
The words in the title will especially resonate when you’re overwhelmed by loneliness.
They affirm being an “individual,” letting a weight slip from your shoulders.
Please accept Miwa’s message—rich with the wisdom of a life filled with experience.
It’s the everyday that makes up a true life. Ordinary days swept along by miscellaneous tasks. Spending our days without enjoying that “normal” time—worse yet, holding back from enjoyment. What a waste. Each day is a wonderful gift.Christine Lewicki
Many people may find themselves bored with ordinary days in which nothing big ever happens, sometimes even grumbling about it.
But it is precisely those unremarkable, everyday moments that we should cherish.
That’s what Christine Lewicki—who thrives as a mompreneur and consults entrepreneurs around the world—reminds us.
She herself must be busy and caught up in daily chores, yet perhaps it was in some fleeting moment of everyday life that these words slipped out.
If you feel that every day isn’t fun, that it’s full of unpleasant things, try looking for the small, unassuming joys hidden in the everyday right before your eyes.
If you worry about what you don’t have, you’ll waste what you do have.Ken Keyes Jr.
People tend to focus on what they can’t do.
And it’s natural to feel envious of those who seem more talented.
But the same is true for others as well.
Everyone has their own individuality, with strengths and weaknesses.
People are people, and you are you.
You, too, surely have wonderful talents and value that others would envy.
Instead of fixating on what you lack, why not turn your attention to what you have? You’ll likely discover something new.
There are no solutions in life. What exists in life is only a force in motion. We have to create that force. The solutions will follow afterward.Saint-Exupéry
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the novelist who wrote The Little Prince, a work loved around the world.
Here is a passage from one of his masterpieces, Night Flight.
Life never goes backward.
As we keep moving forward, we must overcome many things.
However, moving forward requires effort.
He tells us that as we proceed through life by trial and error, we can find solutions to each of our problems.
If you’re troubled and have come to a standstill, try, above all, to take a step forward.
Each person has their own unique charm and talents. No two people are the same. Therefore, you must not compare a particular person with others.Joseph Murphy
These are the words of Joseph Murphy, who served as a minister of the Church of Divine Science.
Rather than searching for flaws by comparing yourself with someone else, it’s better to discover the unique charms and strengths that only you or that person possesses.
Respecting yourself and recognizing another’s greatness without comparison can lead to many forms of happiness.
When you want to remember that you are you, please draw strength from this famous quote.
It will surely encourage you to keep looking forward.
