10 Uplifting and Positive Quotes to Grow Your Soul

Isn’t it a wake-up call when things don’t go to plan?

I had originally planned all of my March blog posts in February with How to Rock Your Unemployment Journey and Post-Grad Money Lessons to be scheduled for the last two weeks. 

I’ll admit, as COVID-19 became bigger and bigger, I was selfishly irked at the fact that I’d have to rework my posts. And if that wasn’t enough, my blog was down on my end, meaning I had no way to access, change, or even write an article for Wednesday (my normal posting day).

But as all of this was going on, I realized I no control over the situation… and that was okay. Instead of focusing on something relatively small in the grand scheme on things, I spent my days’ isolation prepping and getting the apartment in order; preparing to hunker down for however long my family and I need to.

As I’ve spent the last couple of days at home (four to be exact), I know that social distancing can be difficult for some, along with the fear COVID-19 brings, so I thought I’d share 10 quotes that spread positivity and hope in this uncertain and scary time. 

“Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change.”

Bob Kerrey

“In times of stress, the best thing we can do for each other is to listen with our ears and our hearts and to be assured that our questions are just as important as our answers.”

Marc & Angel Chernoff

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.”

Desmond Tutu
