Sometimes, life doesn’t go where we would like it to go. And although that is alright, because with some perseverance and creativity you will eventually turn it around, some inspirational life quotes might be very welcome to lift your spirit and be the source of creativity.
The reason why many people like reading the life quotes of others is because even if you don’t think about it consciously, deep inside you know that they are talking from experience. They have already gone through the situation you are going through now, and came out of it, which means you can do it too. Quotes about people, their challenges and achievements make us reassess our own perspectives and often push our limits.
Some might argue with this, but think for yourself. When you’ve felt low, how many times has a caption about life under a photo suddenly helped you understand which step to take next?
While “just because” quotes are not necessarily quotes about change, they do show a simple correlation between two situations, or rather, lack thereof. And this is one very important thing about life – being able to understand what consequences to expect from your actions or your inactivity.
Have you ever come across any life-changing quotes that helped you find your road and realize that not giving up is the only way to achieve your dreams? Share them with us in the comments.

Exactly! Not everyone is happy taking one road. Also sometimes you may be on the same road as someone else who is happy, but that does not mean you are gonna be as happy as them. That is when you switch roads.

Exactly. I do my own independent studies and research. People pay to go to college to learn the same stuff they could learn at the library, on the job, online. College just gives you the credentials, and those don't even prove you gained anything from the classes, nor does it tell anyone if you've cheated your way or not.

"I hate the idea that you shouldn't wear something just because you're a certain age." - Miuccia Prada
BadCat 2 years ago (edited)
I'm in my late 30s and I still shop for the clothes at Ardene's and other trendy clothing stores popular with the teens and 20somethings. I can't bring myself to dress like my mom yet. Heck, I'd rather buy a $20 necklace with a cute cupcake than a boring gold chain at some ritzy jewelry store. My budget doesn't have room to spend that much on metals and stones I'll hardly wear anyways.

"I don't go by or change my attitude based on what people say. At the end of the day, they, too, are judging me from their perspective. I would rather be myself and let people accept me for what I am than be somebody who I am not, just because I want people's approval." - Karan Patel

BadCat 2 years ago (edited)
Some of the happiest people have died young doing the things they loved the most, and that's how they are remembered. And then you have some long-lived people who have lived much of their lives miserable, in pain and ailing for the last 30 years of their life and die alone due to all the bridges they burned and people they've scorned. But everyone should try to strive for a long, great, fulfilling life with adventure and loved ones.

My lowest point of dealing with anoraxia was less than 25kg. But that's what I felt about myself, I would NEVER berate others about how they feel comfortable just because I hate my body.

How do you know? It's God's plan. God could want it for you and you would never know. And you could be actively working against the thing you want which could have been God's plan. So God's plan could be that he wants you to want something so bad and actively work against it. Mysterious ways indeed.

"Just because somebody flirts with you, doesnt mean they like you. Just because somebody likes you, doesnt mean they want to go out with you. Just because somebody goes out with you, doesnt mean they love you. Just because somebody loves you, doesnt mean they wont hurt you."

"The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life - just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I'm doing what I'm doing.
