Literary Quotes - Tumblr Posts - Page 2
I'm a writer, a dreamer, a lover of words. I believe in the power of stories to inspire, to connect, to heal. I believe in the power of words to change the world.
This blog is my little corner of the internet, a space where I can share my thoughts, my stories, my passions. It's a place where I can connect with other writers, readers, and dreamers. It's a place where I can be myself, unfiltered and uncensored.
So welcome to my world. Let's explore the power of words together.
The world is full of beauty, if you know where to look. A sunrise, a flower blooming, a child's laughter - these are the things that remind us of the magic that surrounds us. Let's open our eyes to the beauty of the world, and let it fill our hearts with joy.
You are capable of amazing things. Don't let fear or doubt hold you back. Believe in yourself, take a leap of faith, and watch your dreams unfold.
"The universe is not hostile, nor yet is it friendly. It is simply indifferent."
The Power of Tiny Steps: Unleashing Your Potential One Day at a Time
We all have dreams, aspirations that flicker like fireflies in the darkness of our minds. But sometimes, the path to achieving those dreams seems daunting, a mountain too steep to climb. We get caught in the trap of thinking we need to make grand gestures, take giant leaps, to see real progress. But the truth is, real change, real growth, happens in the quiet moments, in the seemingly insignificant steps we take each day.
Imagine a seed. It doesn't sprout overnight into a towering oak. It takes time, patience, and consistent nurturing. The same principle applies to our goals. We need to cultivate our dreams, one tiny step at a time.
Start with something small. Read a chapter of that book you've been meaning to finish. Write for 15 minutes, even if it's just a stream of consciousness. Go for a walk, breathe in the fresh air, and let your mind wander. These small actions, repeated consistently, become the building blocks of success.
Don't be afraid to celebrate your small victories. Each step forward, no matter how small, deserves recognition. Acknowledge your efforts, appreciate the progress you've made, and let that positive reinforcement fuel your motivation.
Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination. Embrace the process, enjoy the ride, and trust that each tiny step you take is leading you closer to your dreams.
So, take a deep breath, find your inner strength, and start taking those tiny steps. You might be surprised at how far you can go, one day at a time.
Don't let fear hold you back. Take a leap of faith, and watch your world expand. You're capable of amazing things!
"Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions."
Don't accept apologies without change.
„i want to spend my whole life gazing into those eyes”
"Your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing."
-Fyodor Dostoevsky, Crime and Punishment
“What is the greatest need of human beings? What is it they seek from me always? Intimacy. I listen with all my being, I am completely interested. I seek momentarily a full communion of eyes, feelings, thoughts.”
The Diary of Anaïs Nin, Vol. 6: 1955-1966
