Blog, Personal Development, Quotes, Success

Here are 33 quotes about opportunity to motivate you to take advantage of every chance at success life offers you.

Quotes About Opportunity And Timing

To succeed in life, you need careful preparation, patience, and relentlessness once opportunity strikes.

Do not let the moment pass you by! You will regret it for the rest of your life.

Every opportunity in life is entirely unique. That’s why you must be very careful when choosing which to take advantage of and which to disregard.

11. “Failure is only the opportunity more intelligently to begin again.” – Henry Ford

Quotes About That One Life-Changing Moment

When life presents you with a unique opportunity, it could be that one life-changing moment you have been waiting for.

To not take advantage of the opportunity because the timing seems bad or like hard work sends a bad message.

It shows the Universe that you do not want these opportunities, and you will attract fewer of them.

If it is the ‘perfect‘ moment, you will be waiting forever.

You have this unique chance right here and right now. Either take it and see where it leads or leave it and live with the ‘what ifs.‘

I know which path I will follow. What about you?

24. “Don’t wait for the right opportunity: create it.” – George Bernard Shaw

33 Affirmations For Gratitude

Blog, Mindset, Personal Development

Gratitude is the key to happiness. Here are 33 affirmations for gratitude to help you feel grateful in even less than ideal circumstances.

Why is gratitude important?

You might have heard self-help tips about using gratitude as part of your morning routine. And perhaps that sounds cringe and unnecessarily time-consuming to you. But hear me out.

On the emotional spectrum, gratitude and love are dead centers, neither bad nor inherently good.

This makes them such a good starting point for improving your mood.

Whenever you feel stressed, anxious, sad, tired, or furious, don’t try to flip a switch and be happy instantly. It won’t work that way and will only frustrate you.

Instead, try to aim for thankfulness first. This is a much more attainable goal, and it’s getting easier and easier the more you practice.

This is also why gratitude can be used as a tool for manifestation. According to the law of attraction, you need to embody energy higher than your normal energy to attract a better life.

For example, suppose you are used to and feel comfortable dating low-quality partners that don’t have their life together. In that case, you will unlikely attract a romantic and successful partner unless you raise your energy to match them.

Gratitude is the gateway to this. Once you’ve reached the neutral level on the emotional scale, all the manifestation tools you know will prove much more fruitful to you.

Affirmations To Feel Grateful

1. I feel grateful for the smallest of things!

2. The more I feel grateful, the more things I attract to feel thankful for!

3. I easily come back to gratitude!

4. I see things to feel grateful for all around me!

5. I am grateful for the challenges in my life as they make me stronger!

6. The people around me embrace their gratitude!

7. I am thankful for my Christmas/birthday gifts!

8. I am incredibly grateful for my good grades!

9. I love learning and growing into my best self!

10. I feel more thankful every day!

11. The more I practice gratitude, the easier it gets!

Affirmations To Make Gratitude Easy

12. Even in the darkest of times, I find a silver lining to be thankful for!

13. Practising gratitude is fun!

14. I love my life!

15. I breathe gratitude in and happiness out!

16. I am grateful for the education I am receiving!

17. I am grateful for my friends and those I will have in the future!

18. I am so grateful that I am improving more and more every day!

19. I notice increasingly more things to feel thankful for!

20. The warm, giddy feeling of gratitude stays with me for a long time!

21. Gratitude easily pulls me out of frustration and anxiety!

22. I don’t remember what it was like to struggle with gratitude!

Affirmations To Make You Feel Thankful

24. I love being healthy and happy!

25. I am grateful that my friends and family are healthy and happy!

26. I am endlessly grateful that the Universe/God has my back!

27. I love my life and the opportunities it presents me with!

28. I am incredibly thankful that I don’t have to worry about food, shelter, and safety!

29. I love the unlimited opportunities and information the internet provides me!

30. I am grateful for my good sleep.

31. I am thankful that this year has been a success!

32. I am grateful for all the good memories I’ve made!

33. Life is beautiful; I love every moment of it!

These were 33 affirmations for gratitude. Which one was your favorite? Do you already feel more grateful and happy than before?

33 Justice Quotes | Quotes About Justice And Fairness

Blog, Mindset, Quotes

Humans have always demanded justice and fairness. Here are 33 Justice Quotes from famous people that will make you think about fairness.

Justice Quotes 1-20

If you disregard justice once, it’s much easier to disregard justice a second time. It might be tedious to demand justice in the smallest of cases, but such small efforts ensure we live in a fairer society.

Society will never be entirely fair, of course. That’s a given, considering the definition of fairness is subjective to everyone. But the attempt at genuine fairness can already provide society with a much-needed feeling of safety.

1. “Justice is the constant and perpetual will to allot to every man his due.” – Ulpian

2. “At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst.” – Aristotle

3. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

4. “Truth never damages a cause that is just.” – Mahatma Gandhi

5. “Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.” – Blaise Pascal

6. “It is certain, in any case, that ignorance, allied with power, is the most ferocious enemy justice can have.” – James Baldwin

7. “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” – Elie Wiesel

8. “Justice can sleep for years and awaken when it is least expected. A miracle is nothing more than dormant justice from another time arriving to compensate those it has cruelly abandoned.” – Mark Helprin

9. “It is not possible to be in favor of justice for some people and not be in favor of justice for all people.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

10. “A good act does not wash out the bad, nor a bad act the good. Each should have its own reward.” – George R.R. Martin, A Song Of Ice And Fire: A Clash Of Kings

11. “The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man’s life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” – George R.R. Martin, ‘A Song Of Ice And Fire: A Game Of Thrones’.

12. “Peace is not an absence of war, it is a virtue, a state of mind, a disposition for benevolence, confidence, justice.” – Baruch Spinoza

13. “The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them.” – Lois McMaster Bujold

14. “The world has enough for everyone’s needs, but not everyone’s greed.” – Mahatma Gandhi

15. “The worst form of injustice is pretended justice.” – Plato

16. “Nothing ever outrages more than injustice. All the other evils we endure are nothing compared to it.” – Immanuel Kant

17. “In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.” – Albert Einstein

18. “Fairness is the art of pulling in each other’s hair without destroying your hairstyle.” – Gerhard Bronner

19. “An unjust peace is better than a just war.” – Tullius Cicero

Justice Quotes 20-33

Interesting fact: In 17th century England, there was no concept of criminal justice as we understand it today. Instead, the punishment for crimes was determined by the king, who had absolute power over his subjects. This meant that people were often punished without any regard for whether they actually committed the crime. As a result, many people died in prison simply because they couldn’t afford bail.

20. “It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.” – Voltaire

21. “His dignity, the desire for freedom and justice, is inherent in every human being.” – Hans-Dietrich Genscher

25. “Life, I’ve learned, is never fair. If people teach anything in school, that should be it.” – Nicholas Sparks

9 Useful Hobbies For Women In Their 20s

Blog, Personal Development

Are you tired of focusing only on work and scrolling aimlessly spending your free time? Here are 9 useful hobbies for women in their 20s.

Hobbies are not only a very fulfilling way to spend your time, but they can also provide you with useful skills later in life.

And, of course, it makes the dreaded question of hobbies in job interviews easier to answer.

So if you’ve lost your hobbies over time, now is the perfect opportunity to start something new.

But make sure to not overdo it! Try out one hobby at a time and give it at least a few weeks a chance before you make up your mind.

Judging something properly is hard if you are barely informed about it.

1. Drawing

By the time they have reached their twenties, most people seem to have decided that they are either good at drawing or not.

They act as if you need to be born with an innate talent.

But the reality is that those students who could draw well in school simply practiced more while younger.

That’s why learning how to draw can be a great hobby for women in their 20s.

It not only adds a cool skill to your portfolio but also shows you that you can achieve things you previously thought impossible with enough practice.

2. Cooking/Baking

Honestly, falling in love with cooking or baking is one of the best things to happen to you.

You will have to prepare many meals in your life, you might as well get good at cooking and enjoy doing it.

So consider spending some time experimenting with different recipes and cooking techniques.

3. Programming

In the digital age, programming is an immensely useful and versatile hobby.

With time you could let your programming skills progress into web design or app creation.

Also, many online courses and apps help you learn the basics.

4. Memory Training

I’m not just talking about sudoku or other brainy games here, though by all means, enjoy them as well.

I’m mainly thinking of the memory palace, and similar techniques memory champions apply.

This is quite possibly one of the most useful hobbies you can have.

Not only will an effective memory drastically reduce your study time and therefore improve your quality of life and your grades.

It will also keep your brain healthy and fit, making you less likely to encounter memory struggles in your older years.

5. Ice Skating

Alright, this is a bit random, but ice skating can be a great hobby to keep active even in the winter.

And I don’t just mean skating around the oval rather wobbly. I mean properly learning how to slide backward and forwards and how to spin.

Once you’ve learned that, ice skating can be incredibly relaxing, in which you just flow along to the music.

6. Reading

Don’t groan. I get it; reading is a few people’s ideas of a hobby. But I feel that that’s mostly due to their bad experiences in school.

Well, luck’s on your side because this time around, you get to choose what you are reading.

You can pick up the trashiest and smuttiest romance novels out there.

Or how about some bestseller YA novels?

Maybe you are ambitious and want to read through the best personal development books. If so, here is a Reading List for you to check out.

The point is, you can choose anything literally. It doesn’t even have to be a book. Maybe you like to read webtoons or fanfictions.

Just try out a few stories.

7. Blogging/Podcasting

Why not pick a hobby that has the potential to earn you money?

Blogging and podcasting can be a fun way to express yourself and an interesting project to work on.

What’s also great is that these two things will teach you valuable skills. Blogging will help you to write more concisely and eloquently, and podcasting will improve your presentation skills.

8. Photography/Videography

If you take many selfies, you already have some photography skills. And if you make TikTok videos, you already know some videography.

But why not expand your expertise?

You can use YouTube tutorials or skillshare courses to improve your skills.

Not only will that improve your Insta and TikTok feed, but it will also provide you with a very marketable skill.

Consider publishing your footage as stock images and videos online and getting paid for them.

9. DIY-ing

In a world where many office jobs are of intellectual nature and don’t produce clearly visible results, DIY can be a very satisfying hobby.

There are no boundaries to what you can do with DIY; it will train your creativity, resourcefulness, and interdisciplinary thinking.

Furthermore, it is possible to create a thriving business with DIY stuff over Etsy.

Well, these were the useful hobbies for those in their 20s that we recommend.

What are your current hobbies? And what did you always want to try out?

As always, we are curious to hear from you.

Until next time, Felicity Seeker!
