A Quote that Inspires Me

“Change your mind and it will change your life. If nothing around you changes, change the things that are around you.”               ~ Tyrese Gibson

This quote by Tyrese teaches me a key idea about how I should live my life and what I should do to be successful. In my life, personally, I have encountered several situations in which the people, things, and ideas made me feel almost foreign, like I did not belong there. This made me have negative feelings towards my life, my passions or interests, and even just myself as a person. As says in this quote, I decided to change the things around me; like the kind of people, my actions, and my thinking. After I did this, I, and people close to me could clearly see the change in my emotions and my attitude. I became more motivated to achieve my short-term and long-term goals, discarding other peoples opinion’s and views of my actions. I also realized that I had a more positive attitude toward thing I wanted to do in life and became more active in activities I enjoy. The most significant change I saw in myself was that I became more “put together” per say, and had a clearer mind when doing things. This quote represents the change I made to my life and how it helped me grow as a person and the experience I gained as well as a healthier mind set.
