Life Lessons Quote by Kelly Cutrone — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“In breaking away from the familiar and the expected, you'll be forced and privileged to face greater challenges, learn harder lessons, and really get to know yourself.”

“The planet is here for our delight, but it is also here for us to change, to make it the best it can be. It's not just about sleeping and fucking and getting the right dress. Let's HOPE not.”

“But while my inner voice was clearly telling me I was at my core an entrepreneur, it's inconvenient to decide at twenty-three that you can't really work for other people.”

“This is an important lesson to remember when you're having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won't feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most. I believe you can't feel real joy unless you've felt heartache. You can't have a sense of victory unless you know what it means to fail. You can't know what it's like to feel holy until you know what it's like to feel really fucking evil. And you can't be birthed again until you've died.”

“That was when I first observed a phenomenon I now call the "New York Slide": you offer your words to try to communicate and connect with someone, but your words just hit a brick wall the person has erected to ward off human contact- the words slide down it and roll away.”

“Manoeuvre your way to success. Do not let any form of failure keep you in despair.”

“When you get to a certain age you find that other people’s opinions don’t really matter anymore, and you get kind of uncomfortable with your place in modern life.”

“Not knowing is not a problem, not wondering is.”

“It is human to experience a meltdown when facing a closed door, but you have to learn to re-strategize in order to experience an open door.”

“Do not hate those who closed doors before you. Sometimes, they do so without knowing they are helping you in some way.”

“Success is a visible outcome of invisible sweat, and sleepless nights. It is found in the small moments of persistence that build up over time.”
