Wisdom Without a Name

Maybe they come from a bumper sticker, or perhaps a wall in a bathroom stall. They might be printed inside a greeting card or show up as a random meme on the web. Wherever they come from, sometimes it’s those unattributed quotes that make you stop and think.

Turns out, that dude named “Unknown” is pretty wise and inspiring.

“Your mind will always believe everything you tell it. Feed it hope. Feed it truth. Feed it with love.”

“Stars can’t shine without darkness.”

“The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement.”

“Life is like a camera. Focus on what’s important, capture the good times, develop from the negatives, and if things don’t turn out, just take another shot.”

“Time you enjoy wasting was not time wasted.”

“You can’t get to a place that you don’t believe exists.”

“Not everything that weighs you down is yours to carry.”

“Be thankful for what you have. You have no idea how many people would love to have what you’ve got.”

“The finish line is just the beginning of a whole new race.”

“If you want to achieve greatness, stop asking for permission.”

“Every day you can take a tiny step in the right direction.”

“The real measure of your wealth is how much you’d be worth if you lost all your money.”

“Be brave enough to suck at something new.”

“No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch.”

“Aspire to inspire before you expire.”

Which one will you put on a Post-it note this week?

Which one could be a screen saver on your phone?

The results will come from your efforts,

But the inspiration might come from “Unknown.”
