What is the deal with quotes? why are we seeing that a lot?

Let's examine the significance of quotes in human life

Different kinds of quotes, we find motivational quotes, inspirational quotes, spiritual quotes, perseverant quotes so on and so forth.

But has anyone ever wondered WHY?

The Internet has manifested an amalgamation of various things. For the first time in human history, we are craving for information in its entirety. 

We are consciously making the choice to better ourselves. To grow.

Be it quotes audio-visual content, audio tapes or images. Information is fragmented in all it's aspect for us to consume it.

But quotes carries a deeper meaning, quotes stand for something.

Quotes are the benchmark of omnipotence. People share the quotes that resonate with their life.

It is their way of telling the world where they want to be. 

What have they endured? 

What kind of lifestyle they abide by.

What values and principle they respect.

These are the quotes that have had a huge impact on my life. This is my anchor. This works as an auto suggestion for me.

Here's a quote to begin with 

This is a great moral anchor, keeps me from wallowing.
In life often we keep sweating the small stuff. We consciously manufacture an inferiority complex by measuring with false or realistic standards.

This quote grounds us, cultivates humility and empathy. Always measure yourself by your past. Nobody remains stagnant. Evolution is the one thing that we cannot defy but embrace.

Only after disaster can we be resurrected 

Isn't this relatable?

Everyone has survived a crucible in their life, one way or other. 

We can indeed turn things around, we have that power. After surviving something so grave we are not left with any choice but to recreate ourselves. That is how we turn things around.

Hypothetically, imagine you just escaped death with split seconds. You are pretty shaken up from head to toe. Would that not put things into perspective? It has to have some kind of impact on your life. You won't just walk it off like nothing happened.

Let's decode this quote, for fun

"Positivity with practicality is a wonderful formula"

We often find people encouraging us to be positive. Even if our shit has gone bonkers, still we would receive the same advice.

But in a hindsight, does it make sense?

err... I don't really think so

I mean I will always choose positivity over nihilism or negativity. But if you combine positivity with practicality then I think results will be scalable and conceivable.

Everyone should have self-awareness, be aware of your pros and cons. Don't live in denial and ignorance.

Embrace the truth, make wise strategies to counter the problems.
