Hey hey lovely people, hoping everyone is doing welll and staying safe. ❤

Have you attended any of the pop up discussions in the special events about Quotes Reflection?

Great if you have and great if you didnt, cause now we are having a forum version of it laugh who's excited? Me *raises both hands*

But Sun, how are we going to do it? I got yaaa, here's how we will be doing this super fun and engaging forum activity-:

1. You will share a quote or as many you'd like to

2. The next person will then share their reflection of that quote ~ meaning, what do they infer from that particular quote or how do they perceive those words.


3. After sharing your reflection, we repeat the same ~ leave another quote for someone new to reflect upon.


3 things that make this activity awesome and fun-:

♡ Get to know about more quotes

♡ Share our thoughts, know what others think, perceive the different perceptions

♡ A library of quotes and different meanings, all at one place

🌻 No fun without others, feel free to tag fellow awesome community users to share their quotes and thoughts too. 🌻

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou Whoa this is certainly an interesting idea, thanks for tagging me :)

for first quote It shows that sometimes we might be searching for something we need in the wrong place. What you are searching might something you can easily find all along, you just need to know where to find it :D

Second quote, education is not just in school and academic knowledge is not all that define education. Everyday in our life, we learn something new simply by going through our daily life and that is also education. While not everyone can be a teacher in the traditional sense of way, everyone can certainly teach us something no matter how small it is

For third quote, we won't experience any chance if we can't fully let go of our old selves. Letting go is also an important process to help us embrace the changeheart

I'll post my quote in a new post!

Heya!! How are ya sunny 😃❤
It's really so creative and wonderful post. No doubt only sunny can create such awesome posts. Great idea!!
I love quotes but sometimes I don't understand the deepest ones lol. They all are really beautiful quotes. I would love to reflect on the first one. It's like we are finding something at the wrong place. We know about that thing but still unaware of it I guess. Umm.. I don't know how to explain lol. For example, we are trying to search God here and there but the reality is that he's present at everywhere in each and every person in living and non living things as well. But still we try to find him in church and temples and all. I understood the other two quotes but I am not great in explaining or reflecting back. So sorry
I would like to share some quotes-:
Two things prevent us from happiness, living in the past and observing others.
The man who tried his best and failed is superior to the man who never tried.

@LovetoGod
Hello Lovely Love ❤ I am doing alright, thankyou for asking. How have you been ?

Awh haha you are always super appreciative and kind , thanks so so much, means alot 🤗

I understand and it is okay to not be able to explain or reflect on something, we don't have to be always right in everything ~ everyone is allowed to understand and perceive things ad they are able to and it is more than okay to try , since there's nothing right or wrong here ~ just a perception, just how *you* see / hear / understand/ experience / perceive something. 😊
I am glad you tried with the first one , it is a great reflection of the quote , agreed too . And hey hey , never apologize for trying ❤

Thankyou for sharing these beautiful quotes too, I am looking forward to more reflections and more quotes in this thread 😄

@LovetoGod thank you so much for tagging me, Love!

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou this is such an amazing post, I really love the way you come up with such great things! :)

Also hey hey Love, I really like your interpretation of that quote, it makes complete sense

1. Two things prevent us from happiness, living in the past and observing others.
Sometimes what stops us from truly being happy is how focused we are on living in the past or how other people are doing in the present. In the past, we can't change anything that we did so there's no point in feeling sad over it. Observing other people while good brings you no benefit. Learn from others, take inspiration but don't forget that you are doing perfectly amazing on your own too, your true happiness should begin and end with you! :)

The man who tried his best and failed is superior to the man who never tried.
Trying and failing is better than never having tried at all. Because not trying remains as a "what if" something you "could have" done but it will never be able to give you satisfaction. If you really want to get something, do your best, at least you wanted to put yourself out there and also possibly learn from your mistakes! That's how growth happens :)

My quotes:
1. "Eventually I confess to a friend some details about my weeping—its intensity, its frequency. She says (kindly) that she thinks we sometimes weep in front of a mirror not to inflame self-pity, but because we want to feel witnessed in our despair." by Maggie Nelson
2. "Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people." by Carl Jung
3. "If we are the same people before and after we loved, that means we haven't loved enough." by Elif Safek

Anyone can share their interpretations of these heart

September 13th, 2021

@LovetoGod Thank you 🧡

The quotes you shared are quite true.

I agree, trying has a lesser failure rate than not trying.

@BloomingSakura Hi there, you amazing saku! Thank you for tagging me! Awesome quotes. Here are my reflections.
1. "The real world is much smaller than the imaginary." - Friedrich Nietzsche
I realise how everyone can interpret in their own unique ways. For me, while the real world is too small, our imagination can be wild enough to cause magic. :')
2. "Today is the first day of the rest of your life." - Charles E. Dederich
It's never too late! (I can't stand mornings 😭 lol)
3. "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." - Albert Einstein
Mistakes are human. It is human to err. It's okay to be afraid of mistakes. You don't have to be all confident, it's okay to be afraid and still go ahead.
Here's my quote!

Hi River! smileyheart Thank you for the tag my friend!

I have a lot of little different quotes that I enjoy. Today, the one that stood out to me in my mind was "Everything you ever needed to know, you learned in the sandbox" - Robert Fulgrum... meaning that, there are life lessons we learn as children and if we could apply them to how to treat others as an adult, well, life could be easier for everyone. angel

okayyy.... Hello ..... soo... I wanna share my own quotes cos.. i dont know

First quote:

Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King

Hate, jelousy, revenge. Don't even spend a minute on those. Because love, kindness.. compassion. They are the ones that leave light in the darkness. When you have hate, it leads to more darkness. The night is already dark enough, dont add more. Hate is a virus that leads to more hate. more hate. more hate. But hate has not solved one problem on this planet. Hate caused war, chaos, conflict. Hate has not done anything. We need light. We need stars. Otherwise we would be walking blindly into darkness (im gonna leave more in my little space about this).... Love . compassion. kindness. only leads to light. And if the lights are off and its all dark, then we can all turn them on. If someone is hating. show them to love.

"In a world where you can be anything, be kind" Unknown

In a world where you can anything. Where you can be a doctor, a teacher, a lawyer, an engineer.... where you can be anything. Just be Kind. It makes a huge difference , you never know what someone is going through. Small words make huge differences.

"Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. Its the courage to continue that counts"

Success is overrated. Success in the modern world is more about money and getting a job and having a home. But success is something that can be anything. But when failure comes our way... (e.g failing an exam) its like the whole world tips over. My only tip is .. never give up. its not the end. keep fighting. something good might happend your way. Have courage. Its hard. But your also hard.

I might share more quotes later in the future. thank you.

Bunny

I definitely love the Maya Angelou quote and it helped me see that a few people were always treating me like an option (and a last option at that) so I stopped making them a priority and it is more peaceful.

I forgot to wrote my thoughts or my interpretation of the quote before I put my own quote 😁

So, I will reply with my interpretation of this quote, then put another quote.

'Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.'

My thought: It means that the though the sun sets it will rise again, it will shine again. Just like the truth, it will be revealed.

Next quote,

'Just be yourself, there is no one better. '

Let me know your thought about it and then share your quote. 😁
