5 Inspirational Quotes Speaking to Us Right Now

Filed Under > Life Skills

I think it’s safe to say that Pinterest, hands down, has changed the motivational game. With countless inspirational quotes floating around and going viral, it’s obvious to see that we all enjoy a good reminder to be our better selves every now and then.  I can speak for the entire WOM team in saying that we sure love us some words to live by.  In fact, we have an entire board dedicated to them; the quotes that calm us, the quotes that entertain us and of course the quotes that inspire us. I’ve rounded up five inspirational quotes that are currently really speaking to me personally in the slideshow above, along with a few gifts from the Shop with great one-liners below. Do any of the quotes resonate with you right now, too?  Do you have a favorite mantra you return to, time and time again?  Cheers, Kat

BE A GIVER

BE A GIVER

I THINK BEING A GIVER CAN SOMETIMES BE ASSOCIATED WITH WEAKNESS. BUT BEING A GIVER CAN EQUAL STRENGTH TOO, AS MY MOM HAS TAUGHT ME THROUGH HER UNWAVERING CONSIDERATION AND SELFLESSNESS OVER THE YEARS. I'M STRIVING TO BE A GIVER OF THE THINGS THAT I HOPE DEFINE ME: COMPASSION, POSITIVITY AND STRENGTH.

TAKE THE STAIRS

TAKE THE STAIRS

IT'S ALL TOO EASY TO DREAM ABOUT SUCCESS, AND EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. AS PART OF A SMALL BUSINESS, I'M REMINDED OF THIS POINT ALL THE TIME: YOU GOTTA TAKE THE STAIRS IF YOU PLAN TO SUCCEED. THERE ARE RARELY SHORTCUTS TO TAKE, AND SUCCESS WON'T JUST BE HANDED TO YOU. IT WON'T ALL BE PRETTY, AND YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF IN THE TRENCHES, BUT THE REWARDS ARE WORTH IT ALL TENFOLD.

STOP COMPETING

STOP COMPETING

WHEN DID WE ALL START COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER? IT'S WAY TOO EASY TO COMPARE OUR CRAFT WITH OTHERS', BUT IT'S ALL JUST WASTED ENERGY IN THE END. I KNOW THIS QUOTE SERVES AS A SIMPLE REMINDER TO ME PERSONALLY TO SUPPORT OTHERS, FUEL THE FEED OF INSPIRATION AND IGNITE DEEPER CREATIVITY IN THE SPACE.

LIVE MORE

LIVE MORE

MY LIFE MANTRA RIGHT NOW, THIS QUOTE PERFECTLY SUMS UP MY AIM TO LIVE MORE INTENTIONALLY. WITHOUT REALIZING IT, WE FALL INTO RUTS AND ROUTINES, BUT LIFE IS TRULY TOO SHORT TO LET THAT HAPPEN. BY CHOOSING TO WORK HARDER, EAT HEALTHIER, AND LOVE LONGER, WE CAN DISCOVER A MORE VIVID FORM OF OURSELVES.

MAKE NO APOLOGIES

MAKE NO APOLOGIES

AS I GROW OLDER, I'M FINDING MYSELF. I'M COMING TO REALIZE THAT FAULTS AND FLAWS AND ALL OF THE FEELS HELP MAKE ME WHO I AM. I'M LEARNING THAT NO APOLOGIES ARE NEEDED FOR MY PERSONALITY.

  • Creativity is not a competition…it’s very true about people getting wrapped up in upping other people. Great quote.

    Thanks Ryan! It’s a simple concept, yet I think people lose sight of it too much. xo
