Why is it that a few words put together in a certain order invoke such strong reactions in us?<\/p>\n

Is it thanks to history\u2019s greatest authors, philosophers, and orators who are just naturally able to communicate ideas succinctly and vividly?<\/p>\n

Largely, yes\u2014but there\u2019s a lot more going on than first meets the eye.<\/p>\n

Take a look inside the mind of the average person and you\u2019ll no doubt be confronted by a whole load of negative mental chatter: \u201cI can\u2019t do this\u201d, \u201cI\u2019m a horrible person\u201d, \u201cI\u2019ll never achieve what I want\u201d. <\/em><\/p>\n

With our inner worlds dominated by self-criticism and self-defeating thoughts, it\u2019s a much welcome relief to hear quotes\u2014or as they’d be considered in Buddhism, \u2018affirmations\u2019\u2014that transcend nasty psychological blocks and tap into our core beliefs.<\/p>\n

You see, the purpose of affirmations is not to convince you of something\u2014they simply \u2018make firm\u2019 something that already exists inside of you which has been obscured by doubts.<\/p>\n

To help us bring to light these inner truths, affirmations need to be repeated over and over and over again. In the case of understanding quotes and making sure you put them into action, that means reading them consistently as part of your daily routine.<\/p>\n

Spring to life every morning by reading these 21 inspiring and motivating quotes from some of history\u2019s greatest thinkers and doers:<\/p>\n
