It is amazing the power a few words can have. Yes, it does sound like a cliché. But it is also very true. How many times have we read or heard something that has made us smile or laugh or just think for a second? Language is a powerful tool and is so deeply ingrained in our DNA that we can’t ignore the reactions it provokes. And what better way to use language than to make someone feel better even if it’s just for a tiny moment of time?
A quick browse through Pinterest’s “Quotes” board can put a smile on your face and inspire you for the rest of the day. A random check of your Facebook newsfeed can lift your mood if you or your friends are ‘fans’ of the myriad of quotes and pictures pages. And then there is Twitter. From the funny to the wise, the quotes flooding the microblogging site can brighten your day, 140 characters at a time.
Although these quotes won’t find a solution to your problems (yes, everybody has problems) and may not lift you out of depression, they will provide a break of life’s trials and tribulations, albeit a short one.
So go ahead, smile and be inspired!
