We all have our mantra’s, intention words and little sayings that can boost us up when we need it. As time passes, sometimes they can change.

But there are a few motivational quotes out there that have withstood the test of time and are every bit applicable in today’s society as they were when they were written.

They are quotes that spur conversation, thought and the evolution of humanity. They are quotes that give us a new perspective when sometimes we may be stuck!

My 5 Favorite Motivational Quotes

“Not all who wander are lost” by R. R. Tolkien. This is one of my favorites, especially as I have been doing a lot of wandering myself lately…!! But the truth is, in wandering around, we will find ourselves. We are open to life’s mysteries and gifts when we wander, we see things clearer, we find who we are.

“You have not lived today until you’ve done something for someone who can never repay you.” By John Bunyon. This is the truth, yet we can get so caught up in the day-to-day give and take that we really forget why we are giving in the first place. Giving for the simple sake of doing something nice for someone else is the best feeling in the world. This quote helps me to remember that when life has caught me up!

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” By Maya Angelou. Such a great quote that reminds us just how much kindness counts. That it is not our accomplishments or pretty material possessions that people will remember about us. It is our smile, our actions and the choices that we make that people will remember, that makes us unique and special.

“We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create.” By John Lennon. This is one of the most important truths of life that I did not learn until later on. Learning to love and accept ourselves – every part, the good, the bad and ugly – is the single most important thing we can do to be happy and to spread happiness. Because if you are going to love others and live a full, happy, conscious life, you must wholeheartedly embrace, accept and love yourself.

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” By Mahatma Gandhi. I saved this one for last because it is the whole reason that I am even writing to you today. This quote. It is imperative for us to understand it and to act upon it. I’ve said it before, that true change for us is only going to come from within our homes. We have to be the change that we want to see in the world, or nothing will ever evolve. Instead of complaining or just talking about it, this quote motivates me to make the changes I want to have happen.
