 |For as long as I can remember, I have loved attempting to dissect the meaning of the words that people speak. It is partly why I chose a career in a helping profession and became a counsellor; to exercise my ability to try to understand how others feel through their words and use the skills of paraphrasing, summarizing or through the use of metaphors to convey this understanding back to my clients.  So it makes sense that I find myself having a great appreciation for quotes and that I feel excited after discovering a profound sense of meaning from a statement that another individual has made. I am particularly drawn to quotes that deliver a positive or hopeful message, or that help to identify ways of thinking that can accelerate personal growth. For this article, I have shared some of my personal favourite quotes from celebrities, entrepreneurs and philosophers. I have also enlisted the help of some fellow bloggers who share their own or favourite positive mindset quotes. I hope the following 25 quotes help you to see just how powerful the human mind is and how capable we are of creating positive change and growth in our own lives and in the lives of others, just by paying attention to our thoughts.

Thank you for adding your voice to these positive mindset quotes, Nadalie! I'm glad you enjoyed the collection, as well.
25 quotes, each amazingly simple and yet far too often, we don't get it unless someone points it out. So we live 'lives of quiet desperation' instead. I think my favourite was this one, by C.S. Lewis. 8/16/2018 05:53:25 pm
