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

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Find fault with thyself rather than with others.”

“Sometimes we stay in the lesson so long, that we delay our blessings”

“Don't be afraid to make mistakes. But if you do, make new ones. Life is too short to make the wrong choice twice.”

“Live the moment. Cherish the present. Anticipate the future. Frame the yesteryear”

“You know, it’s not about proving them wrong. It’s about becoming stronger than the version of you they once broke, the one who stayed, tried, and still wasn’t enough. It’s not even about revenge, it’s about self-respect and self-realization. Because fixing yourself after being torn apart is the loudest comeback.”

“A rose is not its thorns, a peach is not its fuzz and a human being is not his or her crankiness.”
