Once You Read These Rare Quotes, Your Perspective on Life Will Never Be the Same

In life, we often find ourselves stuck in a situation,

unable to see beyond our current circumstances.

We love the idea of thinking that we see the world as it is,

but in reality, we see the world from our perspective.

Our environment, experience, and ideas heavily govern our perspective.

But are we always seeing things as they are and judging the world correctly?

No, emotions always cloud our thinking.

During my journey to four different places,

I experienced diverse cultures that profoundly changed my perspective

on humans and life.

However, you don’t have to experience a different culture,

speak to new people, and try new things to change your perspective,

although that’s the ideal way.

A single quote can change and transform your perspective.

That’s why I have collected these wise and rare life-changing quotes.

Relationships and people

“Everyone is your enemy. Everyone is your friend. Every possible series of events is happening all at once. Live that way and nothing will surprise you.” ― Littlefinger, Game of Thrones

This quote is the ultimate antidote to disappointment.

It makes you accept both the good and the bad that happen.

I love Game of Thrones so much, not just because of the fights and scenes,

but also because of its philosophy and characters.

I always reflect on what Littlefinger said.

You don’t have to like him, but there is wisdom in what he said.

“Relationships are like birds. If you hold them tightly they die. If you hold them loosely they fly. But if hold them with care. They remain with you forever!”

The purest form of love is to let people be themselves.

I often see content on YouTube about how to keep your boyfriend/girlfriend

and make them obsessed with you.

These videos employ some manipulative tactics

and tricks that are effective in the short term only.

I don’t agree with any of their advice because my goal is to build a long-term relationship that survives any storm.

Love that is built on trust lasts long,

but how can someone trust you if you manipulate them?

“Never judge the future of a person on his current situation. Because time has the power to change black coal into a diamond.”

Many people underestimate the power of time and its ability to transform people and situations.

A person’s past can help explain their present,

but the present situation cannot dictate the future.

Life has a miraculous way of changing circumstances.

Before I focused on the gym, I was extremely skinny.

Now people rarely recognize my growth.

I gained muscles and built my frame.

“Never hide your bad side to make someone stay. Show your bad side and see who can stay.”

If you have to wear a mask to fit in with your friends or keep your lover,

these people don’t belong in your life.

No one is perfect; we all carry traumas and insecurities.

Stay true to yourself, and the right people who belong to your life

and understand you for who you are will show up.

I had to leave a circle of friends because everything there seemed fake.

The love shown and the smile are not genuine.

I then contemplated a thought: Is this the life I want?

Do I want to spend my entire life around these people with whom I don’t have anything in common?

I left the circle, and I felt some deep inner peace and happiness,

though I was alone.

I still believe this is one of the greatest decisions of my life.

“Never argue with a liar, you can’t win because they believe their own lies.”

Most of these individuals are egocentric with fragile egos.

Their goal is not to know the truth but to win the argument.

If ego controls the relationship, it will never last.

I experienced this issue in my family.

We had our differences, and my sister decided we should have a meeting to understand the issue.

The meeting was filled with lies after lies,

and it just changed my perspective about certain people forever.

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”

We always make the mistake of thinking people are the same as when we met them.

People are actively learning, evolving, and growing.

I recently met one of my childhood friends in Rwanda.

An innocent kid we once knew, who couldn’t even hurt a fly,

has completely changed and lost his innocence.

It just blew my mind how fast people can change.

I then asked him if his younger self would recognize him, and he laughed, saying no.

We have all met at least someone like this in our lives.

Your uniqueness

“Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.”

No one has ever made a change by being the same.

Have the courage to be yourself and be disliked.

You are not born to entertain yourself but to be happy, chase your dreams, and fulfill your purpose.

If you have no idea what you need to do,

ask yourself what makes you unique.

Your task lies in the answer.

One of my mentors also told me that your fears hold your highest potential.

Face your fears and stick to what makes you unique.

Rejections and failure

“Allow yourself to be a beginner. No one starts at the top.”

No one is born perfect.

You will likely experience failures and rejections before you succeed.

Trust the process and continue to improve after every failure.

The harsh days you are going through will make a wonderful story.

Clarity

“You cannot see your reflection in boiling water. similarly, you cannot see the truth in a state of anger. When water calms, clarity comes.”

The best way to make a poor decision is to make decisions

when you are under the influence of strong emotions,

such as anger, joy, or sadness.

You are not thinking with clarity here.

Learn to calm yourself down, no matter how frustrated you are.

“Climb mountains not so the world can see you, but so you can see the world.”

Your goal shouldn’t be public attention,

but rather the knowledge and perspective you gain from success.

Who you become when chasing your goal is more important than

what you achieve.

At the end of 2023, I set a goal to build my body and improve my finances.

I started 2024 with full focus and disciplined myself throughout the year.

I achieved all the goals, but more importantly,

I became someone I never expected I could be.

I was calm, more rational, composed, and happier. To me, this was the ultimate win.

Mindset

“Practice like you’ve never won and perform like you’ve never lost.”

This mentality will get you far in life.

It is our mindset that stops us from progressing and reaching our dreams.

I started this blog to write down my thoughts,

and it turned out to be one of the best things I’ve created.

If I had the mindset that nothing good comes out when I am at my worst, I would never start.

Bad days or failure do not define you.

Final Thoughts

You will never fully understand life,

but you can understand your life and share your story with the world.

The story you are sharing will help others in a way you never expected.
