Seneca the Younger

Another example - Man develops a breed every day, leaving only precious stones. If, of course, he knows how precious stones look, and if he only goes through ore, skipping diamonds and other precious stones, considering that these are just stones, then this person has problems in life.

Life is such a thing, it is like a person who shovels ore to find diamonds! What are diamonds? This is the motivation that allows us to act in this world, but the fuses of motivation are constantly melting, you need to refuel your motivation in order to continue to act effectively. Where does motivation come from? The cornerstone is information, correct information is like a compressed spring, if we take it right, the spring expands and shoots right at the target and we reach the target very quickly. If we are wrong about motivation, then why, then the spring shoots in the forehead. Why it happens? Because our inner intention is the basis for what we act, what we want to receive and whether our motivated actions will harm others!

In this article, I have collected the most motivational quotes and statuses, as they say, of all times and peoples. But of course, make a choice for you what will hook you the most. In the meantime, we get comfortable, make a very smart face, turn off all communications and just enjoy the wisdom of poets, artists and just plumbers, perhaps!

Conversely, a positive attitude will naturally change your life for the better. A person gets what he chooses. This is the reality, whether you like it or not.

Just because you’re offended doesn’t mean you’re right. ”Ricky Gervais

If you are looking for the bad, you will definitely find it, and you will not notice anything good. Therefore, if all your life you will wait and prepare for the worst, it will definitely happen, and you will not be disappointed in your fears and fears, finding them more and more confirmation. But if you hope and prepare for the best, you will not attract bad things into your life, but you just risk being disappointed sometimes - life is impossible without disappointments.

Expecting the worst, you get it, letting go of all the good things that really are in life. And vice versa, you can acquire such strength of mind, thanks to which in any stressful, critical situation in life, you will see its positive sides.

The Buddha described three kinds of laziness. The first is the laziness that we all know about. When we have no desire to do something, the second is the laziness of feeling wrong about ourselves - laziness of thinking.

But, usually, it's just a way to avoid meeting yourself.

Any kind of relationship is like sand in your hand. Hold it loosely, in an open hand - and the sand stays in it. The moment you squeeze your hand tightly, sand begins to pour out through your fingers. This way you can retain some of the sand, but most of it will wake up. It's the same in relationships.

But if you squeeze too hard and with a claim to owning another person, the relationship will deteriorate and crumble.

There are no illusions - no disappointments. You need to starve to appreciate food, experience cold to understand the benefits of warmth, and be a child to see the value of parents.

You need to be able to forgive. Many people think that forgiveness is a sign of weakness. But the words "I forgive you" do not mean at all - "I am too soft a person, so I cannot be offended and you can continue to spoil my life, I will not say a single word to you", they mean - "I will not let the past spoil my future and the present, therefore I forgive you and release all insults.

One day in social problems class, our professor picked up a black book and said this book is red.

One of the main reasons for apathy is lack of purpose in life. When there is nothing to strive for, there is a breakdown, consciousness plunges into a sleepy state. Conversely, when there is a desire to achieve something, the energy of intention is activated and the vitality rises. To begin with, you can take yourself as a goal - take care of yourself. What can bring you self-respect and satisfaction? There are many ways to improve yourself. You can set yourself the goal of achieving improvement in one or more aspects. You know better what will bring satisfaction. Then the taste for life will appear, and everything else will work out automatically.

"The sleep of humanity is so deep that the chances of waking up are less and less."

Dario Salas Sommer

We rush through life at a breakneck speed, in a hurry to have time to do what seems so necessary, and having achieved it, we understand that we were in a hurry in vain, and we are in some strange state of dissatisfaction. We stop, look around, and face the thought: “Who needs all this? Why was such a race necessary? Is this life with meaning? " As soon as our brain overcomes a lot of questions, we try to find answers from psychologists, in literature, remember wise quotes about life with meaning. It is this moment that turns on our consciousness, which may have been dormant for a long time.

Our civilization has come to a serious danger, as a negligent mistress has accumulated many things, a huge amount of weapons, equipment, spoiled the environment, acquired a lot of unnecessary information, and now she does not know where to apply it all and what to do with it. The cornucopia has become a heavy burden for both our common and individual consciousness. The standard of living has improved, but people have not become happier, but on the contrary.

The thoughts of great people about no longer penetrate the minds of many of us. Why do we become so indifferent, cruel, and at the same time so helpless? Why is it so difficult for many to find themselves? Why do people find a way out of difficult situations only in death? And why do many of us begin to understand something when we come across quotes about the meaning of life?

Let us turn to the wise men for an explanation

Now we are ready to blame anyone for our troubles, for our sleeping consciousness. The fault is the government, education, society, everyone except ourselves.

We complain about life, but at the same time we are looking for values \u200b\u200bwhere, in principle, they cannot be: in the acquisition of a new car, expensive clothes, jewelry and all human material goods.

We forget about our essence, about our purpose in our world, and most importantly, we forget about what sages tried to convey to the souls of people in ancient times. Their phrases with a meaning about life today are extremely relevant, they are not forgotten, only they are not perceived by everyone, and not everyone is penetrated.

Carlyle once said: “My wealth is in what I do, not in what I have”... Isn't it worth pondering over this statement? Isn't there a deep meaning of our being in these words? There are many such beautiful statements worth our attention, but do we hear them? These are not just quotes from great people, this is a call to awakening, to action, to a life with meaning.

The wisdom of Confucius

Confucius did nothing supernatural, but his teachings are the official Chinese religion, and thousands of temples dedicated to him have been erected not only in China. For twenty-five centuries, his compatriots have followed the path of Confucius, and his aphorisms about life with meaning are passed from generation to generation.

What did he do to deserve such honors? He knew the world, himself, knew how to listen, and more to hear people. His quotes about the meaning of life are also heard from our contemporaries:

  • “It's very easy to recognize a happy person. He seems to radiate an aura of calmness and warmth, moves slowly, but always has time, speaks calmly, but everyone understands him. The secret of happy people is simple - it is lack of tension.
  • "Beware of those who want to impute guilt to you, for they yearn for power over you."
  • “In a country well ruled, poverty is ashamed. In a badly ruled country, wealth is ashamed. "
  • "The man who made a mistake and didn't correct it made another mistake."
  • "The one who does not think about distant difficulties will certainly face near troubles."
  • “Archery teaches us how to seek the truth. When a shooter misses, he does not blame others, but seeks the guilt in himself. "
  • "If you want to be successful, avoid the six vices: sleepiness, laziness, fear, anger, indolence and indecision."

He created his own system of state structure. In his understanding, the wisdom of the ruler should be to instill in his subjects respect for the traditional rituals that determine everything - the behavior of people in society and the family, the way they think.

He believed that the ruler should, first of all, respect traditions, and accordingly the people will respect them. Only with this approach to governance can violence be avoided. And this man lived more than fifteen centuries ago.

Confucius catchphrases

"Teach only the one who, having learned one corner of the square, will imagine the other three"... Confucius spoke similar aphorisms about life with meaning only to those who wanted to hear him.

Not being an important person, he could not convey his teachings to the rulers, but did not give up and began to teach those who wanted to learn. All the students, and there were up to three thousand of them, he taught according to the ancient Chinese principle: "Do not share origins."

His clever sayings about the meaning of life: "I am not upset if people do not understand me, I am upset if I do not understand people", "Sometimes we see a lot, but we do not notice the main thing." and thousands more of his clever sayings were entered by the students into the book "Conversations and Judgments".

These works became central to Confucianism. He is revered as the first teacher of mankind, his statements about the meaning of life are paraphrased and quoted by philosophers from different countries.

Proverbs and our lives

Our life is replete with stories of incidents from the lives of people who drew certain conclusions from what happened. More often people come to conclusions when sharp turns happen in their life, trouble catches up or loneliness gnaws.

From such stories, parables about the meaning of life are composed. They come to us through the centuries, trying to make us think about their mortal life.

Vessel with stones

We often hear that one must live easily, enjoying every moment, because no one is given to live twice. One wise man explained the meaning of life to his disciples using an example. He filled the vessel to the brim with large stones and turned to the disciples with the question of how full the vessel was.

The students ascertained that the vessel was full. The sage filled up smaller stones. Pebbles are located in empty places among large stones. The sage again asked the disciples the same question. The disciples answered with surprise that the vessel was full. The sage also added sand to that vessel, after which he invited his disciples to compare their life with a vessel.

This parable about the meaning of life explains that large stones in a vessel determine the most important thing in a person's life - his health, his family and children. Little stones are work and material goods, which can be attributed to less important things. And the sand determines the daily vanity of a person. If you start filling the vessel with sand, then there may not be room for the rest of the fillers.

Each parable about the meaning of life has its own meaning, and we understand it in our own way. Some people think, and some do not penetrate, some compose their no less instructive parables about the meaning of life, but it so happens that there is no one to listen to them.

Three "I"

For now, we can afford to turn to parables about the meaning of life and draw at least a drop of wisdom for ourselves. One such parable about the meaning of life opened the eyes of many to life.

The little boy wondered about the soul and asked his grandfather about it. He told him an ancient story. There is a rumor that three “I” live in each person, of which the soul is composed and the whole life of a person depends. The first "I" is given to be seen by everyone around. Second, only people close to the person can see. These "I" are constantly at war for leadership over a person, which leads him to fears, worries and doubts. And the third "I" can reconcile the first two or find a compromise. It is invisible to anyone, sometimes even to the person himself.

The grandson was surprised by the story of his grandfather, he became interested in what these "I" mean. To which the grandfather replied that the first "I" is the human mind, and if it wins, then a cold calculation takes over the person. The second is the human heart, and if it has the upper hand, then the person is destined to be deceived, resentful and vulnerable. The third "I" is a soul that is able to bring harmony into the relationship of the first two. This is a parable about the spiritual meaning of the life of our existence.

Meaningless life

All of humanity has one natural quality, which determines the desire to find meaning in everything and, in particular, life itself; for many, this quality wanders in their subconsciousness, and their own aspirations are not clearly formulated. And if their actions are meaningless, then the quality of life is zero.

A person without a goal becomes vulnerable and irritable, he perceives the slightest difficulties with wild fear. The result of such a state is the same - a person becomes easy to control, his talents, abilities, individuality and potential gradually come to an end.

A person puts his fate at the disposal of other people who benefit from his weak character. And a person begins to take someone else's worldview for his own, and automatically he becomes driven, irresponsible, blind and deaf to the pain of his loved ones, senselessly trying to earn authority among those who use it.

"Whoever wants to accept the meaning of life as an external authority ends up accepting the meaning of life as the nonsense of his own arbitrariness."

Vladimir Soloviev

Psychoanalysts argue that greater success from an activity can be expected if this activity is given maximum meaning. And if our work also brings us satisfaction, then complete success is guaranteed.

Questions arise about how education, religion, mentality, and worldview of a person affect the meaning of life. I would like the values \u200b\u200band knowledge gained over the centuries to unite all people, regardless of their worldview, religion and era. After all, quotes about life with meaning belong to people of different times and beliefs, and their significance is the same for all sane people.

Our position in the Universe requires an eternal search for answers, ourselves, our place in life, involvement in something. The world has not come up with ready-made answers, but the main thing is to never stop.

"We live for those on whose smiles and wellbeing our own happiness depends"as Einstein said.
