Some of the world's greatest creations couldn't exist without inspiration. Arts, music, and literary works all were created through some sort of inspiration, and now serve as inspiration to others. Inspiration is also necessary for daily life and all the little trials and tribulations we face almost every day. Below we'll look at some of the most inspirational quotes, and how they can be or have been applied to everyday life. "Why fit in when you were born to stand out?" - Dr. Seuss Uniqueness is something we as individuals value. It's easy to fall into the norm with fashions, and tastes, and even hobbies, but we all always seek the unique combination of all interests. Everyone often takes pride in their unique aspects, and try to flaunt them. We'll flourish the most if we embrace our uniqueness and build on it. "Believe you can, and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt We've all heard the story of the Little Engine that Could, but Teddy seems to dish the same message to us in a more adult-friendly manner. It's often said that if you smile, it'll eventually convince your own body that you're happy, so it seems only reasonable that the same be said about accomplishing tasks. If we're convinced we can accomplish something, actually completing it can seem much less troublesome. "Change your thoughts and you change your world." - Norman Vincent Peale As humans we tend to fear straying from the popular opinion, or even changing one we've held for a long time. It's vital to see that if no one ever faced this challenge head on, the world and human civilization would never improve. Large impacts can be made by changing the way we think, and being malleable, then one can only imagine how it could better our daily lives. "The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love." -William Wordsworth An almost fail proof way to measure a man's character is by watching what he does when no one is looking. We all know that we love and crave the approval and praise that comes with doing a good deed. The mark of true kindness is continuing to go above and beyond to do a good deed, even if we know it's going to go unnoticed.
