It’s a long road to freedom,
winding steep and high,
But when you walk in love
With the wind on your wing
And cover the earth
with the songs you sing
The miles fly by.
These are the lines from an oft-sung familiar song. When we read and sing out the lines, even a heavy heart would feel lighter. It just means that the long journey of life can be made less tedious with love for everything on earth. Visual or virtual, audio or written – any media has a deep impact on our psyche. So it is with Quotes.
Quotes are a priceless source of wisdom in words and guidance when needed. Usually a quote can prompt us back to focus and lead us to a specific goal or plan of action, when our normal motivation lapses. They can activate a trigger point in our hearts and minds when we are distressed. Yes, they need to be felt by the heart. The right quote can help us see light at the end of the tunnel. It might even push us out of a negative thought or situation in the flicker of a second!
Having faced dire situations in life which has created a better version of ourselves, we can inspire others also to live their own better or best versions, without floundering in the dark.
