Inspirational Quotes I Can Relate To


Honestly, I love different types of quotes. I like quotes ranging from inspirational and hopeful to funny and sarcastic. I couldn't pick just one quote. Although, I'm in an adult-like, spill-your-feelings-about-something mood, so I hope you don't mind. Here are some quotes I found that seem interesting to share. (Sorry, this won't be littered with gifs and memes since it's a bit more on the serious side. I hope these quotes will satiate your thirst for the time being.) Tell me how you feel about them!

An act of kindness may seem simple, but every honest thought you put into it is the true treasure. It's like giving a gift. You do it because you want to; out of the own willingness of your being. There's no other reason behind it then just to make the person receiving it happy. You don't need anything in return.

This quote hit me really hard. Being raised by parents who taught me how to be grateful for the things I have and show empathy to everyone, I can fully understand what this  quote means. What is the meaning of kindness, you say? By Google's definition it means the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Kindness isn't something that people have to yearn or work for. It should be there when they need it. Kindness is too broad a spectrum to confine to just one meaning. Like Google said, it has many different qualities ranging from being generous (like giving money to the poor) to being considerate (helping people who are going through a rough patch in their life). It may seem tedious to some, but I find that the outcome is very fulfilling.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if these simple acts , like giving an honest compliment or lending a listening ear, seem small and insignificant, their impact on the lives around us is great and a force to be reckoned with.

This quote reminds me of all the times I've taken things for granted throughout the duration of my short life. These small gestures, like a touch of comfort or a sincere smile, can always brighten up my day. These acts are something that I see everyday which isn't bad because that means I'm surrounded by people who help build each other to the best they can be. The only problem I have is that I see and hear it so much that I don't think of the thought that's been put into these small gestures. This quote really pushed me to look further into depth of every meaning of every word, gesture, and act. It's opened my eyes and really made me thankful of all the people that have touched my life.
