myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life 3 years ago

The inspirational quote I always have in my heart which dominated most of my decisions was from the Bible.. but I'm not sure what verse was that:

"Love overcomes all fear"

Being a fearful person that I am, this has become my personal quote in all my decisions. Though sometimes I must admit I'm most of the time overwhelmed with fear, there are some points that I always go after "love" especially when my loved ones are at stake.

So, what has been your inspirational quote that has guided MOST of your decisions?

Take care and happy good vibes everyone ;)

1. myLot reputation of 90/100. maezee (8955)   ranked 933 out of 32,950 in life   3 years ago

This quote, from Marilyn Monroe has never failed to inspire me: "people change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." It's so touching to me, because it hits a soft spot. Every time things start looking down, I try to remind myself of this quote as well as the fact that everything happens for a reason.

OK, I'm on a roll here. Marilyn Monroe also said this amazing one, too, which I also totally love: "I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best". I love this because it helps me through my battles of .. feelings of inferiority and never quite feeling like I'm "good enough". The quote is kind of just saying, 'accept me as I am.. or get the *&@% out!'. I love both of these and try to live by them as best as I can.

It's good to know that you're guided with this quote/ inspirational words. I agree that things do really happen for a reason. This is the main point of happiness.. you choose to be happy not only because it feels much better, but because you believe in the fact that things happen for a wonderful purpose :)

Seems Monroe is one of your most influential persons. :) Sometimes we can also learn from these celebrities. Take care and God bless ;)

Fear is not of God. 2 Timothy 1:7 says "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and a sound mine."

Fear comes from the outside to take hold of you, so don't open the door to the enemy (devil) and invite him in. You are right to give it to God.

I have many ispirational quotes. But I will give you just one. It is 1Peter 5:7..Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you.

I do not have a care in this world because I've cast everyone of them onto my Lord.
That is my morning motto.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

Thanks Chevee.. I will always remember that. That's very inspirational. Take care and God bless you :)

For me it is more like a way of life... treat others the way you want to be treated. I think that helps me make most my decisions related to affairs with people. However, the most important thing in my life as a guide is this:

"You are responsible for yourself & your decisions! If you mess up don't blame anyone else"

This helps me not feeling sorry for mistakes and managing to work smth out of them and learn new stuff about life, This way I prevent myself from hating... well... myself I guess:D


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

Thanks enyniya =) those encouraging words are indeed very inspiring =) it helps you prevent yourself from regrets.. =) take care friend happy mylotting and God bless you =)

I love the song For Me This is Heaven by Jimmy Eat World. I don't know if you would consider it an inspirational quote, but one of the lines from that song help me with my everyday life.

"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?"

That quote helped me overcome my depression. It has also guided me through times when I thought I wanted to end things. Ultimately, everything in life boils down to whether it brings you happiness or sadness. That quote helped me pick happiness over sadness.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

Indeed a very simple and a great question. =) "If you don't let yourself be happy today, then when?" They say happiness is in the state of mind. Personally, I believe our reason for happiness should not necessarily be because it's a good feeling.. we decide to be happy because things happen for a reason and God has wonderful plans for all of us =) Happiness is all about faith.. =) always believe in God and things will be all right =) take care always denistar and God bless you.

5. myLot reputation of 78/100. greatsasuke (324)   3 years ago

The inspirational quote that has guided me the most is "That which does not kill you, only makes you stronger." It sounds heartless, but if you look deeply into those trying times in your life, you realize that if it really didn't put an end to your existence, you really do come out more knowledgeable because of it.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

I get your point greatsasuke =) similar to a quote or Bible verse I think which says, "God won't give you something you can't bear".. trials only make us stronger.. =) take care friend and God bless you!!

6. myLot reputation of 99/100. thedailyclick (2575)   ranked 2,640 out of 32,950 in life   3 years ago

I don't know where this quote comes from but is the one which has guided me: "There is no magic genie in a bottle, so you make your own luck and you control your own destiny". It's a constant reminder to me that when things don't happen the way I want it's up to me and only me to make them happen. It also spurs me on when I wonder why I am bothering.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

Thanks thedailyclick =) I agree, we are in control of our destiny.. =) you must be a very hardworking person. Take care and God bless =)

"Failure is not the end, Its just the beginning of success"

This quote inspires me to keep going on and move on with life no matter how hard the hardships are. Losing doesn't mean its's over.Rejections and failures should not discourage us to react for our dreams and accomplishing our missions.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

You must be a very hardworking person ;) keep up the good work.. take care and God bless ;)

I have written this response several times and I hope that admins will not delete it.

"This, too, shall pass!"

Its the perfect quote appropriate to every situation, as useful in prosperity as in adversity. It is a motto wise and true and endlessly enduring, words by which a person could be guided for his or her life, in every circumstance, no matter what happens. These magic words will give comfort to the afflicted, courage to the frightened, and hope to the depressed. As we climb the ladder of success and encounter life's tougher moments, we can find solace in these words of wisdom: This, too, shall pass.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

Thanks fulltank! ;D that's really inspiring.. things are soon to pass so we should make the most out of everyday and things are going to be alright ;)


myLot reputation of 92/100. Fulltank (1770)   ranked 1,472 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

And speaking of myLot, "This,too, shall pass!".

I like to watch my ground make sure no one or anyone comes into my life and puts or makes me feel fear. a quote that I like very much and gives me comfort is,

"I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and understand"

that's one of them another also is,

"Of course I'm afraid, It's okay, I am getting through this, I'll make mistakes, but I trust myself to make the best decisions I can"

thought those are good ones.


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

That was indeed very inspiring;) take care and I hope you will be successful in live too=) God bless you and believe that you'll be successful.

hi there, here's the quote that guided most of my decisions and this quote keeps me inspired when opportunity comes in my life, work and all my achievements, when i almost give up God always remind me about he will not forsake me just i need to be ready at all times.
"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes" .
In my mind God will never gave me an opportunity to deal with things unless he know i cannot handle them.. with all my decision i put God first and i know he will do the rest!


myLot reputation of 85/100. cecillecarmela (1555)   ranked 779 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

I agree.. we should put God first in everything.. we should always consider His will first and not ours because He has good plans for all of us if we only seek Him. Thanks for taking time to participate in my discussion and God bless you ;)
