Quotes To Inspire Yourself

John Lewis (February 21, 1940 - July 17, 2020), was an American civil rights leader and politician. As one of the “Big Six” leaders, along with Martin Luther King Jr . who inspired him, Lewis dedicated his life to protecting the rights of Black people in the United States. Although he grew up in an era of racial segregation , Lewis had a quiet and happy childhood. However, at the age of 17 he left his hometown to attend the American Baptist Theological Seminary in Nashville, Tennessee. That’s where he learned about nonviolent protests and began his lifelong journey as an activist. Lewis is best known for his chairmanship of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), but also for leading the march that would later become known as the “Bloody Sunday”(1965).

Nonetheless, he tirelessly continued his work ...

Self-care is a simple concept in theory. It comes down to any activity we do in order to protect our mental, emotional, and physical health. Self-care can be anything from taking some time to watch a movie, get a haircut, exercise or get a medical check-up. Sadly, due to the nature of our busy lives, taking care of one’s self has become an option or even a luxury. We push ourselves to the point of exhaustion by dedicating all of our time and energy to anything else but taking care of ourselves -- and that only leads to burnout. Does “I can’t seem to catch a break!” sound familiar to you? The truth is life’s not going to give you any breaks. You’ll have to take them yourself and “recharge” so you can continue chasing your goals or look after others. Enjoying some “me” time doesn’t make you selfish -- it’s simply necessary. Everything needs tending to in order to function properly, and that includes you as well. Here are 25 self-care quotes that will encourage you...

Being able to say “thank you” is just part of being polite and well-mannered. Besides, it is the simplest way to show your appreciation toward someone. We learn this phrase from a very young age, but it takes years to really understand the meaning behind it. People usually need to go through some experiences (both positive and negative) before learning what gratitude really is. You know you’ve come a long way when you finally realize that people don’t owe you anything and you begin to show appreciation for every small thing they’ve ever done for you. For simply being there, for listening to you or believing in you when you didn’t have the power to do it yourself. Some of you might find the right words to express your gratitude, but others might get a little overwhelmed. Whether you’re thinking about writing a message or say something in person, a simple “thank you” doesn’t even begin to express how you truly feel. No worries, we’ve found some beautiful quotes ...

Quentin Tarantino is an American director, screenwriter and actor whose movies have gathered both critical and commercial success. The famous director has been in love with watching movies ever since he can remember. It was his favorite thing to do as a child. He hated school and as a result he dropped out of high school and got a job at a video store. It seemed like a good idea at the time and Tarantino says it would’ve been a fulfilling life if he hadn’t had an inner artist that was screaming to get out. So instead of just watching movies, he began taking steps in creating them. His directorial debut came with Reservoir Dogs (1992) , but his real success came with Pulp Fiction (1994) . Apparently Tarantino has a self-imposed 10-film goal and Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019) has been billed as his ninth.
