What inspires you? There are a lot of things that can provide
inspiration – seeing other people accomplish great things, seeing other people
overcome adversity, hearing inspirational quotes from great people, even the
sheer beauty of nature can remind us just how lucky we are to be alive.
It’s easy to forget what an amazing gift life really is. Our lives are nothing but a cosmic blink. Even our seemingly all-encompassing world is just tiny blue dot circling an average sized star spiraling around a galaxy of 200-400 billion stars, which itself is just one galaxy among billions more. Yet for one brief moment, we get to experience the wonders of existence, of consciousness.
Having a positive outlook on life is a crucial
part of finding inspiration. In the paragraph above, did you feel inspired
reading about the vastness of our universe and our unique place within it, or
did you feel overwhelmed and depressed at the insignificance of it all?
Our brains are wired to find things we’re
looking for – if you’re always cynical or waiting for things to go wrong, then
your life will reflect that. On the other hand, having a positive outlook on
life will bring you joy and provide you with inspiration when you least expect
it.
Of course, there are times when it’s difficult
to feel cheery or positive – life can be difficult. If you’re having trouble
seeing the cup as half full instead of half empty, reading some positive quotes
about life can help you snap out of your funk. Here are some inspirational life
quotes to help you see the amazing potential that life has to offer.
