I love quotes. Words of wisdom that instantly lift your spirits, boost your morale and push you to do your best.
A category for Inspirational posts that share real- life stories of heroes who motivate us to give back to the society was on my mind when I created Metanoia.
But, then I also decided to share inspirational quotes by great minds, who know just the words that act as a stimulus to us mere mortals when in time of need.
Gautam Buddha, Dalai Lama, Swami Vivekanand, Rabindranath Tagore, Maya Angelou and so many more have given us some precious pearls of wisdom that help us precisely when we need them the most.
Sharing today some quotes that I re-read every now and then. Actually, I can’ t really pick favourites when it comes to quotes because I find them all inspiring.
So, take your pick and let these words encourage you , and give you the motivation you need each time you find yourself bogged down by Life.
I have used my ink drawings from the Inktober Ink Fest 2016 and 2017 for the posts. Feel free to save any you like!
LIke it…Pin it!
“Nothing is permanent.” is a personal favourite. I think of these words each time Life feels difficult, as well as when Life feels like a walk in the park!
My theme for the A to Z Blogging Challenge is all about my blog, Metanoia, and my blogging journey from the time I started, 5 years ago. The lessons I learnt, the tips and tricks I picked up from fellow bloggers and the guidelines I could have used back when I began.
You will find all of my A to Z posts here.
Okay I love the title of this post 😀
The illustration behind every quote is so beautiful, Shilpa! You my dear woman, are immensely talented!

Right now what the world – and especially I – need is the one where we choose to be selective in our battles and allow for peace instead of wanting to be right.

Many have already said this, but the art behind the each quote is amazing. Great job, Shilpa. I especially loved the lion’s head. Very detail oriented and fantastic.
My favorite quote is something which I coined for myself when I was going through a rough phase in my life: ‘You can only be delayed, but never be denied.’
