Life Quote #23:
Today’s quote on life relates to a Positive Attitude Tip I read about:
Years ago someone said this to me about stress:
When you find yourself stressed, ask yourself: What difference will this situation make 5 years from now? If it doesn’t make any difference, then don’t be stressed by it. If it will make a difference in 5 years time, then take action towards improving or changing the thing that is stressing you, but don’t complain about it. Just get better and get over it. Read motivational quotes or inspirational quotes, find motivational videos, and people to get you through them. Find inner peace within yourself.
When something negative happens to you, how long do you stay in a bad mood? If it’s for more than a couple of minutes, you need to fix it. The longer you stay in a bad mood, the worse you feel. Read this motivational speech if you don’t know what I mean. And when you eventually get over it, and look back, you often realize it wasn’t a big deal. But it feels like a big deal in the moment. The key is to get over the negative thing quickly and be solution oriented as soon as you can.
Read motivational quotes and inspirational quotes everyday.
Have an amazing day!

– People seem to want each other if and only if we can have each other at a distance in amounts we can control
“If you’ve never failed, you’ve never lived.” The video below explains all:
“Limits like fear are often just an illusion.” – Michael Jordan
6 playoff championships in 8 years. That’s what you call a change changer. He said the above quote in his Hall of Fame speech and it made an impact on me. I think that often we bind ourselves by what the world has imposed on us. Which is why we are amazed when someone or something comes along that completely changes the playing field.
Before 1954, it was said that being able to run 1 mile in under 4 minutes was impossible. Enter Roger Bannister who ran it in 3.59.4
Whether you like basketball or not, you’ve heard of Michael Jordan. A man that found what he loved to do early in life and never gave up trying to achieve his best everyday. I think the key is if you find what you love, or what you you’ll keep trying to be the best, so that regardless of whether you are winning or losing. You are enjoying the experience.
Every time I watch the video below, I get goosebumps. It’s people like Jordan that inspire me everyday. Video after the break.
