Quotes that I saved that Open my eyes
“Don’t take it personal, take note, take it serious and take care of it.” - Pharrell
That has stuck with me since I heard him say it.
I am a very emotional person and take a lot of things personal. From watching Pharrell’s video and reading other quotes & things, I realize taking things personal is giving the other person the power. The power to mess with you and your emotions and mental. Way roo much power.
It has also opened my eyes and really observe how people treat me. I make an effort to note it and decide if I want to continue to have whoever or whatever in my life.
I’ve also heard, “pause, make a choice, repeat”
I am currently making an effort to do this. I can be very indecisive which can mean that I do not trust my self. So pausing and making a choice and going with it helps with trusting myself, build confidence and evolcer. It’s fucking Scary but it’s necessary.

It's incredible how a few words can spark such a profound shift, isn't it? Like many of you, I've found immense power in 'eye-opening quotes' that resonate deep within my soul. Beyond just learning not to take things personally, I've realized the journey to truly trusting myself means embracing the unknown and stepping out of my comfort zone. I remember coming across a powerful quote from William Faulkner that really hit home: 'You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.' This perfectly captures that scary but necessary feeling of stepping into something new, much like when I decided to really 'pause, make a choice, repeat' in my own life. It's about pushing past indecisiveness and having the courage to commit to your path, even when you can't see the whole picture yet. This courage is what propels you 'onward and upward,' enabling you to explore new possibilities you never thought existed. This ties into another quote I saved that speaks volumes about self-mastery: 'This is your mature year. You gotta control your mouth, mind, mood and money.' For me, this isn't about being rigid, but about intentionality. It's about controlling my reactions, managing my emotional responses instead of letting them control me, and making conscious decisions about where my energy goes. It's truly about gaining mastery over myself, which helps immensely when trying not to take every little thing personally. It's a continuous process of self-awareness and growth. And speaking of growth, I also love the reminder that 'The real flex is just being yourself in a world where people live for an image.' It's so freeing to let go of the need to prove anything to anyone. When you're truly authentic, you attract what's meant for you. This aligns with another beautiful statement: 'May you be freed from the desire to prove what you are.' This journey of self-discovery also involves setting boundaries and recognizing your own worth. I've personally felt the shift from constantly giving to understanding the need to also receive. A quote that really resonated recently was, 'I can't be a giver anymore. I want to be loved, nourished, taken care of, spoiled, prioritized, and not just by words, by actions too.' It’s a powerful statement about prioritizing personal well-being and demanding the respect and care you deserve. It’s about ensuring your own cup is full so you can genuinely thrive. These 'eye-opening quotes' aren't just words on a page; they're guideposts helping me navigate life with more intention, confidence, and self-love. They truly make you see things with 'new eyes,' fostering a deeper, more meaningful understanding of yourself and the world around you.
