FIFTY SHADES OF INSPIRATION

1. Take kindness with you everywhere you go and deposit it at every stop you make. Never expect to get it back.

2. If you expect people to be kind to you because you are kind to them, you are like the man who expects the lion not to eat him because he doesn’t eat lions.

3. Forgive others not because they deserve forgiveness but because you deserve your peace of mind.

4. As much as you want the best for others, you cannot force people to grow. At the end of the day, it is their choice and their life.

5. Don't waste your energy on things that are outside of your control. Only focus on the things that you can control.

6. Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life that you are proud of.

7. In life, you will rise and fall so many times but never rise up by pulling others down. On your way up take people up with you. On your way down don’t let them down.

8. Tell everyone around you to be strong, even though deep down you know you are the weakest person in the world. It might not be convenient but therein lies greatness.

9. At your absolute best, you still won’t be good enough for the wrong person. At your worst, you will still be worth everything to the right person.

10. Whatever you do, never run back to the things that broke you in the past. Some things will never change and you have to accept that.

11. Never give up on something that you truly want. It more difficult to regret than to wait. It might take a long time but you will surely have it.

12. Don’t waste words on people who deserve your silence. Sometimes the most powerful thing you can say is nothing.

13. Stop explaining yourself to people because they only understand from their level of perception.

14. Communicate less of your plan to people and show them more of your results.

15. People may never know your worth but don’t be tempted to compromise your value for the fleeting praise of men. Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see it.

16. There is no shame in making mistakes. Mistakes are proof that you are trying your best. The objective is to live a fulfilling life and not a perfect life.

17. Don’t build your world around people who do not know the value of what they have.

18. It’s always sad when a good thing comes an end. But always remember that when good things ends, the best things begin.

19. Erase the fears of the past, nothing holds more promise like the future. What is coming is far better than what is gone.

20. Life is short, so embrace tomorrow because yesterday is gone for good. What will hurt you today will make you stronger tomorrow.

21. Sometimes you need to be hurt in order to grow. Sometimes you must go through pain in order to gain.

22. Even though you don’t know what tomorrow might bring, think positively and hope for the best.

23. Always remember that your present situation is not your final destination. And it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey. Hang on, your best is yet to come.

24. When you are in a very dark place in your life, never think that you have been buried but that you have just been planted.

25. Sometimes you have to fall, in order to understand what it means to rise and stay on top. Without the fall, the rise will mean little or nothing.

26. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of the things you can’t change. One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of the things that you cannot change.

27. Always invest in your body, your mind and don’t ever forget your soul. It takes more than just a good looking body, you have got to have a beautiful heart and soul to go with it.

28. Don’t worry about failures but instead worry about all the opportunities that keep passing you by.

29. When you focus on problems, you will have more problems. When you focus on possibilities, you will have more opportunities.

30. Respect the people that tell you the truth, no matter how hard it may seem. If they tell you the truth, it becomes part of your past but if they tell you a lie it will become part of your future.

31. Let your hands be so busy catching blessings that you don’t have the capacity to hold grudges.

32. Be exclusive. Don’t be everywhere. Don’t include yourself in everything. Don’t be involved with everyone.

33. Your time is valuable. Don’t waste it on people, places and things that are not as valuable.

34. Before you ask God for anything you don’t have, you must thank him for everything that you have.

35. When things go your way, thank God for the blessing. When things don’t go your way, thank God for the lesson. Lessons in life will be repeated until they are learned.

36. Always be grateful. Your lows are someone else’s highs. The things that you sometimes take for granted are the same things that someone else is praying for.

37. You are gold, I repeat you are gold. So if they ever want silver, let them have it.

38. Leave a little mystery to your life. Make people wonder how you are still smiling despite all the misery they have caused you.

39. Everything is temporary. Emotions, thoughts and people. Don’t become too attached, just move with the flow.

40. Never underestimate the pain your friend is going through. Because in all honesty we are all going through one pain or the other. But some of us are better at hiding our pain more than others.

41. Progress rarely comes from those who are contend and secure. It comes from those who are unsettled by what they have seen.

42. Sometimes in life, other people see the goodness in us until we are strong enough to finally see it ourselves.

43. The more chances you give to people, the less respect they will have for you. They will begin to take you for granted because they know that no matter what, you will always give them another chance. People take you for granted when you try to be nice all the time.

44. When you bestow on people the power to build you up, you also bestow on them the power to break you down.

45. People will show you who they truly are if you pay more attention to their actions and less attention to what they say. A man is what he does and not what he says he will do.

46. Never underestimate the sadness of your neighbour. In all honesty we are all going through one sad episode or the other in our lives. But for some of us, we do a better at hiding our pains.

47. You know life is worth the struggle when you look back on what you lost, and realize what you have now is far better. 

48. Beware of those who lack ambition in life. They will always try to convince you that you are on the same boat.

49. There is no reason to keep looking back when you have so much to look forward to. The best things are always ahead.

50. If you want something you have never had, you have got to do something you have never done.
