I believe everyone can relate to this quote, at one point or another in the game of life we have all felt like we kept getting that card in monopoly that tells you to take three steps backward after working so hard to get ahead. Only can the process be frustrating it often withers our ability to bounce back from each hardship we endure. This image is cut and dry, a plain white text on a black background I like it because it is straight to the point and it doesn't distract from it's purpose.
This quote is so important because positivity seems harder and harder to find these days, the media,television shows and often our daily lives are surrounded with drama and some negativity.Although drama is entertaining to watch every Tuesday no one wants to live in constant drama and problems that they have t to solve.
I'm a realist and often I am so focused on the future and all that I still have to do. In a society that constantly has us feeling like they're is never enough time in the day, it pushes us toward believing that we can always do better or be better. The exposure to society and the media can push us toward believing that the things we do are never quite good enough. No matter how small I think we all should give ourselves credit for the daily things we do, it"ll build up our confidence and determination.
With all of our fast paced lives we all can use a few seconds to reflect our daily goals not just our long term ones that keep us constantly on the go. I found that making lists of what i need to do and places I need to go are extremely helpful. they keep me organized and the more things I can get accomplished and cross off the more optimistic I feel. Its important for everyone to know that they are doing a good job in their life and their accomplishments are important.
"Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be neither where you used to be."-Rick Warren
Rosa Parks made valuable contributions to the Civil Rights Movement of which many people not just African-Americans enjoy today. She personified what it meant to be resilient, strong and get what want done by any means.
This image of Rosa Parks is her mug shot after going to jail yet again, initially it has a negative connotation to it. She has a sort of pissed off look on her face and not a whole lot of emotion in her eyes. Not to mention the fact that she is looked at as such an icon for justice and equality, a jail just is not a place for a person of Park's perseverance and faith.
The reason I believe Rosa Parks is the personification of what it meant to be resilient and be strong is because her faith was so strong in faith in God. By knowing God would bring her out of any situation she always had a sense of fearlessness which I believe is why she is so successful in her life.
Having a strength and base in something that you feel is bigger than yourself is very important and will take you very far. Whether that be God or not having that outlet often helps us feel more stable in everything that we do.
"I want to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free. I still believe there can be a day when we all have true freedom, a day when we can get along regardless of race.This is not a dream. It is alive within the ability of us all."-Rosa Parks
