Life Lessons Quote by Brianna Wiest — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“There are two mindsets people tend to have: explorer or settler. Our society has a “settler” mindset, our end goals are “finalizing” (home, marriage, career, etc.) in a world that was made for evolution, in selves that do nothing but grow and expand and change. People with “explorer” mindsets are able to actually enjoy what they have and experience it fully because they are inherently unattached”

“You think your past defines you, and worse, you think that it is an unchangeable reality, when really, your perception of it changes as you do.”

“A friend once told me that the secret to finding love was not to actually look for it, but to heal the things that were preventing you from seeing and receiving it. I think the biggest one of all is, “What will having this love fix?”

“The obsessive desire for a passionate relationship is usually a reflection of a lack of love for oneself. The manic need to pursue a passionate career is rooted in an intense unhappiness with present reality. They are a series of soothing thoughts and deflection methods and escape routes: The monster everyone’s running from, of course, is themselves.”

“Love someone because their soul inspires you, not because you’re interested in the relief from loneliness and companionship they can provide. Anybody can do that. Not just anybody can show you to yourself.”

“When God's Word is spoken, it can convict people of their sin (John 16:8). This conviction can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, and defensiveness. Instead of acknowledging their sin and repenting, they may lash out at the messenger. This reaction is often a result of the person's inner struggle to come to terms with their wrongdoing. As messengers of God's Word, it's crucial to approach these situations with empathy and compassion, while still conveying the truth.”

“You know the saying: he who doesn't understand history is doomed to repeat it. And when it's repeated, the stakes are doubled.”

“I know you said it in anger, but deep down, I know it was the truth.”

“Moving on is not just about forgetting the past. It is about looking back and thanking God for your life, as you realize that some closed doors led you to where you are now.”

“Tears never taste like sweat—sorrow breaks you, struggle builds you. Together, they write the story of your fight”
