to glean from our past, and to stride into the future with newfound wisdom and purpose.
It’s a universal aspiration, one that unites us in our quest for a life well-lived.

Here are the 10 Wise Quotes and Sayings with deep life advice I wish I read sooner:
1. Change may not always bring growth, but there is no growth without change.
Change is one of the things people avoid because it challenges them.
The first step toward personal growth, or any growth, is change.
You have to be willing to change to a different version of yourself.
2. If you don’t like where you are. Move, you are not a tree!
You have the power to choose to move from one place to another.
The only thing that will stop you from moving or changing; is your mind.
3. There’s never a rainbow without a little rain. Ride the storm to become more resilient and wise.
Nothing grows without rain, as there’s no rainbow without rain too.
That means there’s no personal growth without struggles and pain.
4. If you try, you risk failure. If you don’t, you ensure it.
If you want to achieve high success; you have to accept failure.
Accept that you will fail and accept that it’s the only way you will learn and gain experience.
5. You can’t appreciate the good days without the bad ones.
Without bad days, life would be meaningless.
Bad days give meaning to good days as good days give meaning to bad days, too.
A person who learns from bad days and distracts himself will continue to live as a slave to misery.
It’s by overcoming bad days that we find happiness, strength, and meaning in life.
6. It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.
Others will walk with you in your journey as some will help you, but no one can walk it for you.
It’s a fact you need to accept in life.
7. Do it alone. Do it broke. Do it tired. Do it scared. Just do it!
Whatever you want in life, do anything to get it. If it’s alone, do it.
Goals are personal. If you are broke, take the initial step and keep going.
Your goals need you more than others. If you are tired, take some rest and get back stronger.
8. Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.
It doesn’t matter how much you think you deserve an opportunity.
If you don’t make any move to get one, you will live forever waiting for the opportunity.
One of the most expensive things is a missed opportunity.
Get up, dress up, and create opportunities.
9. The Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
A single step added a thousand times becomes a thousand steps.
That’s what you need to get this far. Start small and keep going.
No matter how many small steps you make, keep going and one day you will reach where you want to be.
10. Never let the odds keep you from doing what you know in your heart you were meant to do.

Dear Sir,
I just read Wise Quotes and Sayings with deep life advice I wish I’d read sooner.
Well, I’m a 56 year old married woman and these quotes have opened my eyes to so many things going on in my life. It’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
I’m very unhappy in my current situation and the area I live in. For 20 years I have wanted to move closer to some very good friends of mine but haven’t because it’s farther away from my two boys and my grandkids.
After reading these quotes I have decided that I have got to stop putting my life on the back burner and live.
Thank you so much for what you do!
Tina Thigpen Parker
That’s great. I’m happy for you
