Thought Provoking Quotes | Quotes Posts !

I've spoken before about The Hopeful Notes, which I found out about maybe a year or two ago but what I really loved about the hopeful notes other than how lovely and easy it was to spread a little kindness, was how many wonderful quotes there are out there that I can learn from :) So over the last year, through quite a lot of procrastinating on pinterest I've built up a pretty big collection of thought provoking quotes. So I thought I'd share with you some of the ones that stuck out most to me !

"The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life" 
-  Jaggi Vasudev

"To Live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people just exist" 
- Oscar Wilde

"You can't save people. You can only love them."
- Anais Nin

"Love what loves you but never hate what hates you. For hate is the burden to exhaust the stars in you " 
- R.M.Drake

"May your choices reflect your hopes not your fears" 
- Nelson Mandela

"And that's the things about people who mean everything they say. They think everybody else does too" 
- K.Hosseini

"The work you do while you procrastinate is probably the work you should be doing for the rest of your life" 
- Jessica Hische

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it"
-Mark Twain

"You are so brave and quiet I forget that you are suffering "
- Ernest Hemingway

"Stones in the road ? I save every single one and one day I'll build a castle." 
- Fernando Pessoa

These are just ten of my favourites but if you'd like to see more then follow me on my bloglovin which you can find here to be told when I post another set of thought provoking quotes later this month :) I hope you liked this post. If you did then let me know down in the comments which you quotes you liked best and If you'd like to see more of these quotes posts and I'll do a series of posts on different kinds of quotes like the sweetest love quotes or the most beautiful quotes :)

The Man Who Didn't Tut...

Helloo,

Today I wanted to talk about something that happened to me ( Or rather didn't ) at the gym today :) I was at the gym on the exercise bikes when a man walked in and as he walked past me to get to the running machine, I thought I heard him tut at me. At this point I needed to have a serious talk with myself . This man did NOT tut at me .

a) Why would he ? I wasn't doing anything that would provoke disapproval, I was just using the gym like everyone else . 

b) He couldn't care less what I was doing ! Why on Earth would he ? The man just wanted to use the gym , just the same as I wanted to . I didn't care what anyone else was doing in the gym because it didn't affect me, just like I didn't affect him . 

What actually happened was I was, I saw a man walk in and was probably feeling a little self conscious because sweaty and exhausted is hardly my best look ;) I forgot for a few minutes, like I expect everyone does, NOBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE DOING .

Obviously I don't mean that in a mean way I'm sure lots and lots of people care about you're wellbeing and happiness, but my point is that strangers don't care what you're doing, what you're wearing or whether your hair is slightly out of place! No one even notices.

Do you notice everyone you walk past and all their faults ? Do you waste your day thinking about that person who walked past you twice because they went the wrong way and had to turn around ? Did you even notice ? I didn't think so <3

People aren't judging you . Not everybody is out to get you. You don't need to be self conscious and constantly looking out for someone giving you a funny look. Trust me if you have better things to do than judge strangers, then so do they :) The only person that's stressing out at you is yourself and you're worth more than that, I pinkie promise :)

 In short, people aren't trying catch you out, you're loved by those who know you and those who don't know you aren't looking for something to dislike about you, they're too busy <3

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Lots of love, Marianne xxx

A Few Routine Changes ...

Hello,

I just needed to have a super quick chat about my posting schedule. I know it has been a little up and down because for the first few weeks I wasn't able to post a Top Ten Pins post on a Thursday because as many of you will know, it's exam season. However I'm now on study leave which means I don't waste an hour and a half of my day on buses which has left me a little more time to write ! Recently I've been getting tons of ideas and I really hate having to say to myself 'Okay if you have time to write it, but you're going to have to wait until a Monday to post.' So from now on, I will be sticking to the schedule of posting twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays , but if  I have something I want to get out there ( Most likely just chatty post ) Then they'll go up on a Thursday instead of a top ten pins .

I hope this is all okay ,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Lots of Love, Marianne xxx

Things I Like About Myself ( Tag )

Hello,

I was sitting in bed, not doing anything in particular ( specifically not being at the gym .. but shhhh ;) ) and reading through some new blog posts being a little too tired to be paying proper attention to anything, but there was one that caught my attention . A blogger called Spring Baby ( You should definitely check her out she's lovely and a great writer ) had started a tag. I don't tend to do tags because my blog is aimed at promoting positivity and well-being but I couldn't not do this ! This tag is very simple, you have to come up with 8 things you like about yourself . However it's not so simple when you're trying to do it, which ties in wonderfully with the aims of The 30 Day Happiness Challenge I posted the other week :)

I really can't express how important it is to find and recognise the fantastic, wonderful, incredible things about yourself ! It's not arrogant, it's being kind to yourself and honest <3 So without further a do,  8 things I like about myself :

One : I can see things from other peoples point of views 

Two: My eyes are a bluey-grey colour 

Three: I song-write and it makes me happy 

Four: I'm Short but not as short as my best friend ( I'm winning by a whole centimetre ! WOOO ! ) 

Five : I'm good at working out what colours look nice together 

Six : I can wear flower headbands and I think they look nice 

Seven : I can always find a silver lining no matter what :)

Eight : I can play drums .. I mean it's not very well but regardless, I enjoy it :) 

Wow ! That was a lot harder than I thought it would be ! Now, it's your turn :) So either comment eight things you like about yourself or if you have a blog, YouTube channel, newsletter or any other way of getting things out to the world then go do the tag :) I literally tag EVERYONE because this is something that affects everyone. You are worth compliments just as much as your friends.why do you highlight every wonderful detail of them but ignore your own beautiful traits ? If you do this on your blog or any other platform, I'd love to see it so leave a link in the comments !

Specifically I'd like to tag : Be Nice It's Tuesday and Never Grow Up 

I hope you have a lovely week,

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)
Lots of Love, Marianne xxx
