Power of positivity

Sheila Burke, founder of the website Beingbetterhumans.com, says that regular consumption of inspirational quotes has several benefits:

  • Quotes can offer insight into the thoughts and teachings of wise people. Whether they are alive or dead, their words resonate and continue to enlighten for all time.

  • Inspirational words often remind us about what we already know, or aspire to be, and trigger something within us to get back on track.

  • Many nuggets of guidance can be found in quotes. If you are stuck in life, reading a quote about the nature of your issue can often help.

  • Quotes are a great motivational tool. Print them and put them wherever you spend time for a quick and easy reminder of your goals.
