Quotes are powerful. The reason I love quotes so much is because of how relatable they can be. I admire how a bunch of words neatly put together can resonate so much power and inspiration within me.

If you’re in need of a pick-me-up, here’s a list of short inspirational quotes to write on your vision board, or even for your next Instagram bio.

“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. is telling us about the fact that things you do do not matter, it is how you do them that does. So, it does not matter how big your dreams are, the small things you do in order to achieve them will make you more successful than you think.

And my all-time favorite: “Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.” – Maya Angelou

Here, Maya Angelou is simply telling us about the importance of being kind, pure of heart, and unselfish. She also talks about how simple gestures like a smile or caring words can make a big difference in someone’s life. You have the power to change someone’s perspective by showing them that you genuinely care. Acts of kindness don’t only have an impact on others; they also have an impact on you. Remember that we rise by lifting others, so bringing happiness to others will consequently bring happiness to you.
