35 Quotes That Will Inspire You to Stay Positive
Published February 4, 2021
I remember a story about a king who cannot sleep thinking about his problems. He invited wise men from far and wide but they just can’t give him a solution to his dilemma. Then one day, a wise man came and told him one thing that changed his perspective. He told the king that “this too shall pass”. In that simple phrase, the king found the answer and he was finally able to sleep.
You see, life is a matter of perspective. You can choose to wallow in misery or look at the brighter side. A cup filled with water will always be half-full or half-empty depending on your perspective. This is what the king realized when he heard those words. He can choose to worry about his problems or look for the silver lining.
We may not all be kings who have wise men at our beck and call but we can certainly relate to his predicament. There are times in our lives where it feels like all the forces in the universe conspire to give us misery. It is in these times that we feel like giving up is our only option.
But as the wise man said, this too shall pass. Whatever is weighing you down right now, that too will pass. Each of us has our own troubles to deal with. But what sets happy people apart is their perspective. They choose to stay positive despite everything they’re going through. They choose to smile and hope. And that made all the difference.
