Motivational Quotes for Emotional & Mental Happiness

Inspirational Quotes to Improve Emotional and Mental Health 

What you are and who you are today is not necessarily what you ought to become.

In fact, it is almost assuredly not so. Otherwise, you would have no room for further growth and development, nor any need for further human experiences. 

Success in Living A Determined Life comes mostly through developing a deeper self-understanding and honing your "inner talk" skills and the conversations you hold with yourself. This also requires you to know, understand, and accept the reality of the way you are at any given point in time, starting with now. 

Once you fully know yourself, you are better able to be true to who you truly are by striving to become what your soul wants you to be across all elements of your. This is the path to emotional and mental happiness. 

We all occasionally struggle with controlling our emotions and dealing with down periods in our lives. It is not possible to always be emotionally up and mentally strong. And we all need motivational pointers to help us overcome our emotional weights and negative thoughts. That's why we wrote 365 Motivational Quotes for Emotional & Mental Happiness. 

Here are some of our favorite quotations you'll find in the book:

Loving people live in loving world. Hostile people live in a hostile world. Same world.

Benefits of Forgiveness

Forgiving is not about forgetting, or excusing another's behavior. 

There are enormous personal gains derived from forgiving others, as you will see in chapter two on the benefits of forgiving. The most important payback from forgiveness may have been identified by Dr. David Simon, co-founder of the Chopra Center, “Forgiveness is a prerequisite for inner peace."

Forgiveness requires the right mindset and attitude, an appropriate level of humility, and acknowledgment of the human values of the other person — combined with strong willpower and fortitude based on deep-seated self-understanding.

Forgiveness does not excuse the other person’s behavior or words. Forgiveness does, however, prevent their behavior and words from razing your emotions, flattening your spirit, and destroying your heart.

Forgiving is not necessarily about forgetting. Giving forgiveness to someone does not erase the unpleasant or acrimonious past. However, forgiving does prevent you from being imprisoned by this past. While grievances are not erased or deleted through forgiveness, forgiving enables you to focus on a better future, rather than a bitter one.

Forgiveness also means abdicating and releasing your instinctive and innate feelings of the “right” to retaliate. Human nature is automatically stimulus-response based:  you hurt me and thus I will hurt you back. You cause me pain, so I will cause you pain.

Forgiveness is not pretending what someone did or said was right, acceptable, or even okay. More important, it is also not pretending that you were not hurt or that their actions and words do not matter.

Forgiveness is a release. It is effectively saying, “I am going to let this go. I am not going to let this matter chain me to unwanted emotions and thoughts any longer.” 

You can spend months, even years, thinking you hate someone for their words or actions, when in truth you really just want to let them know how hurt you feel and the pain you feel they have caused you. Of course, they did not cause you the hurt or the pain, this was caused by your reactions to what they said or did. 

You do have a “right” to whatever emotions you wish to carry with you in response to a person or event. You have the “right” to be bitter, hurt, spiteful, angry, resentful, and scores of other emotions and feelings. However, you owe it to yourself to understand how these emotions affect your mental, emotional, and physical health.

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time. The process starts with ourselves. We have to stop and admit that our strung out emotions, thoughts, hurt, and pain were caused by our reactions to someone’s deeds and words, or to an event or situation that happened to us.

It is little wonder that Marianne Williamson says, “The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world.” 

This article is excerpted from our book Project You: Forgiveness Words of Wisdom. Today (November 21st) is the final day to download this book for free in the Kindle store.

Why Is Forgiveness So Difficult?

Forgiveness is a process. It takes Time. And it starts with us. 

Do you struggle to let go past hurts?

Would you like to be free of the burdens of the past but simply don’t know how to go about it?

Extending forgiveness is one of the hardest things we can do, but it is absolutely essential for our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being and growth.

There is no question that forgiving can be hard. Complete, unconditional forgiveness is harder — sometimes even impossible — to grant.

Many people are afraid to forgive simply because somehow they feel they must remember the wrong, the hurt, and the pain they experienced in order to learn and retain the lessons from these. This is utter nonsense. You can remember the lessons without having to hang on to the wrong done to you or to constantly suffer from recalling the agony you felt at the time and since.

Another thing that makes forgiving difficult is that, for some inexplicable reason, many people find it far easier to forgive others when they are wrong than when they are right. This human inclination, some say it is human nature, makes jumping onto the forgiveness road even more difficult. 

Probably the biggest obstacles to forgiving are the many unconscious false beliefs we have about forgiveness and what forgiving truly means. Deciding how and when to forgive inevitably means uncovering and discrediting these false beliefs ingrained within ourselves.

If you are struggling to forgive, one or more of the following commonly held misconceptions about forgiveness may be holding you back: 

• The other person must ask for forgiveness first before you should grant forgiveness. 
• Complete forgiveness requires or mandates full reconciliation. 
• Forgiveness means granting approval of unacceptable behavior. 
• Forgiveness will help you forget. 

There is no doubt that forgiveness is a highly emotional topic and one that many struggle with. In face, we all struggle with forgiveness at various points during our life journeys.

This is why we published our book Project You: Forgiveness Words of Wisdom. This book provides tips, hints, and motivational quotes on overcoming the main obstacles to forgiveness (such as the misconceptions above). 

And this is why we have made our book is FREE today and tomorrow in the Kindle store: http://amzn.to/2mFG4Y3. It is also available in paperback. 

We want to help make the forthcoming holiday season one of forgiveness and peacefulness. You can help by letting others know to download their free copy of Project You: Forgiveness Words of Wisdom in the Kindle store now.

Forgiveness is a Process

"Forgiveness is a prerequisite for inner peace." 

This quote comes from the late Dr. David Simon, co-founder of the Chopra Center, and it is definitely true. We cannot find inner peace when we carry the baggage of holding grudges, hatred, and venom towards another person within. 

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time. And the process starts with ourselves. 

We have to stop and recognize that our strung out emotions, thoughts, hurt, and paid were caused by our reactions to someone's deeds or words. Or to an event or situation that happened to us.

This process comes with many hurdles and obstacles. Perhaps the biggest obstacles to forgiving are the many unconscious false beliefs we have about forgiveness and what forgiveness means. Deciding how and when to forgive inevitably means uncovering and discrediting these false beliefs ingrained within.

Many people are afraid to forgive simply because somehow they feel they must remember the wrong, the hurts, and the pain they experienced in order to learn and retain the lessons from these. This is utter nonsense. You can remember the lessons without having to hang on to the wrong done to you or to constantly suffer from recalling the agony you felt at the time and since.

Words of Wisdom on Forgiveness

"To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that thee prisoner was you." 

The above quote from Lewis B. Smedes is so very true.

Many of us are caught within our own inability to forgive, forget, and move on.

Forgiveness is a process. It takes time. And the process starts with ourselves. We have to stop and recognize that our strung out emotions, thoughts, hurt, and pain were caused by our reactions to someone's deeds or words. Or to an event or situation that happened to us.
