The following are some of my favorite quotes, what they mean, and why I love them.

“Sunsets are proof that endings can often be beautiful too.” — Beau Taplin | Photo Credit: Pixabay

“When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and leave the world wondering how you did it.” — Unknown

I love this quote. I simply love it. Interpret it how you want, but I believe it means that the world may think your dream is impossible. And then you actually achieve it, pursue it, and everyone who ever doubted you is left in shock.

“Creativity is intelligence having fun.” — Albert Einstein

Einstein, I agree. I. Agree. Creativity is most certainly intelligence having fun. This quote speaks to me, since I believe I am creative and intelligent, so this makes total sense. You can be intelligent and creative! Or you could look at it this way. Sometimes being creative doesn’t mean you have to be artistically or musically skilled. It means that you are able to solve problems, think of solutions, and make change happen. This is a wonderful quote about creativity that I personally agree with, and enjoy.

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” — Maya Angelou

Maya Angelou was one of the best authors and creatives of all time. And I one hundred percent love this statement. I don’t even need to explain it. It is so powerful in itself. I want you to read that again, carefully, and really take in what that sentence means to you. Feelings are powerful, and the important ones stay with you till the end.

“We don’t make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.” — Bob Ross

Yes, Bob, yes. If you don’t know him, Bob Ross is a painting legend, still so famous after many years. This quote is one of Bob Ross’s most famous quotes. There are many mistakes you can fix, as long as you try hard enough! This uplifting quote goes for painting, and for life in general.

“Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist.” — Pablo Picasso

Agreed, agreed, agreed. Picasso, round of applause, ’cause that quote right there is amazing. I couldn’t agree more!! Again, I have to let that quote speak for itself, because it says it all.

“You will face many defeats in life, but never let yourself be defeated.” — Maya Angelou

This encouraging quote is so inspirational. You WILL face many defeats in life, obstacles, no’s, rejections, but don’t let yourself be defeated! Keep pushing on, because someday, you will make it. You will get that yes!!
