“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” Buddha
“People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.” Edith Schaeffer
One common way to get things done, to achieve and to motivate yourself is to be kind of hard on yourself.
To set very high standards for yourself that you want to stick to every time.
Now, this way of going about things can indeed help you to accomplish big things in your life and to get things done every week.
It’s one of those things I didn’t really understand the point of when I was younger.
But with age and time I learned how important it was for me to stay sharp, to keep moving forward in life, to be kinder and to not create problems for myself by thinking I was better and smarter than I actually was.
That's what I've gained from that sobering humility. But today I’d like to share not only the impact it has had on my own life but also the best quotes I have found about humility.
The top timeless thoughts about staying humble and not getting lost in pride or arrogance but to stay grounded in humility and reality.
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” Winston Churchill
Optimism.
It can turn a situation that looks negative or bleak into an opportunity or something to learn from.
It can replace the draining thoughts of pessimism with something that will create more positive energy and enthusiasm again.
And it can help you to jump over obstacles, to keep moving when you fall or stumble and to not give up just because you have had a couple of temporary setbacks.
