Being 22 I learned very quickly that I was just listening to nothing but negative people in the shape of my friends and family. I was also listening to nothing but music that promoted negativity. Becoming a business owner I realized that I would rather listen to a successful business man than 50 cent (rapper) because 50 cent has no affect on my financial future and I was tired of being broke mentality.

As some others, I see things through an artistic nature. I would just like to spread my own created quotes as a way of expressing how I see the world through my eyes. This quote can relate to someone who's been a victim of discouragement of others, whether it may be race, religion, or even through a type of underdog situation.
"We humans put too much effort into trying to find those big life changing moments when the every day little things can be every bit as breathtaking. We put everything we have into finding something we can deem as perfect. Couldn't life just be so much more enjoyable if we just stopped running around missing every detail thrown in front of us, and just learned to enjoy the sheer simplicity of it all?"

"Being successful means nothing but achieving perfection in a field in which one wants to be in. As perfection has no limitation, hence success has no limitation; it goes until the end of a life. This is what we know as "proving ourselves in any turmoil we face until we cease to exist."

"Ever washed the clothes only to have them be as hard as a rock and then hard to iron or hard to put on afterwards? I suppose you think the result is to hit them again with a go in the dryer? No - if you just add a little fabric softener in the wash in the first place then there will be no problem to iron out. Isn't life like this? Check your intention. Inject a little love before you speak and there will be no issues to fix or iron out. Love is the best ingredient to any relationship!"

"Come out of your desk."
Written in 2006 by Tarun Nischal --- India
I hear people complaining that they do not feel comfortable around people with different mindsets, thoughts and approaches. It is very important for us to come out of our view point and look at things from a broader perspective, hence we need to come out of our world of desks and talk to people and share the ideas.
"The body and spirit are very much alike; they get dirty if you feed them the wrong things."

"The truth is, we hide so that we can be found. We walk away to see who will follow. We cry to see who will wipe away our tears. It's amazing how you realize when you lose someone, you get mad at yourself for not saying the things you could've a million times. You take for granted the days spent doing nothing when you could've been with them. Anyone can be taken away at any time in our lives but we always wait until they're gone to say the things we never had to courage to say before and it's up to you to take the opportunity to tell them how you feel, if a second chance comes around."
