Positive is was you opt to take. Negativity brings oneself down.
Yeah, we have been told a lot about the way to look into life and it’s hurdles in schools. But, the point is with time the approach changes.
Over the years I have learned to leave things that I can’t control. But have positive mindset that everything will be fine
One must know what kind of praises were meant to insult or appreciate you! You need to overcome those negative ideas and hang on to the positivity you are carrying. We are living in a crucial world where many would try to belittle you. Muster the strength to be truthful to others.
Very interesting!!! All I can say is this nobody has the right to look down or mock anybody. At times there is a confusion between this and being a critique. We must always know the difference between the two.
It is good to always reason out whatever text one come across. Old age doesn’t necessary mean wisdom I believe
After reading this quote, I was really laughing out loud. “dismissing whatever insult your soul”, that tell more about our personal believe. Deep quote Tom
Yes oo, you are right. Not everything will you allow get to you, discard anything that’s not fitten to your soul. Nice quote
What a wonderful quote! I totally agree with this quote. Thank you for sharing this.
I agree, not all we have been told is true or good, people make mistakes and we need to reevaluate the things constantly looking to be better every day.
A very refreshing quote. Indeed, we should not blindly believe all we are told.
Real wisdom starts when you start to make your own decisions. Thanks for the wonderful quote.
Always question everything. Nothing is what it seems.
The incredible Walt Whitman. He was always a wise one.
We all need to do some serious re-examination of everything we have been taught. I couldn’t agree more.
We should always go with our guts. Not everything we read is true.
I needed to read something like this today. I thank you for the inspirational quote.
Do share more insightful quotes like this. This one is so relatable.
I’m definitely printing this one out. I need to read it everyday.
I particularly question most of what I was taught in church. It doesn’t make sense at all.
Turns out what we learnt in school is not necessarily true. Who would have thought right?
