22 Quotes to Stay Grounded in 2022
Quotes I’ve been thinking over to keep myself sane and progressing.
This version of the world we’re living in is unpredictable. The disorder makes nothing feel normal; the days disappear quicker and quicker. The value of money is deteriorating; human life seems to hold even less importance. Everyone is on opposing sides but battling in the same war. When we’re in the dark, it’s hard to remember the light.
The brain wants to forget. In the moment, we feel our emotions so powerfully they feel eternal. When we’re sick, we beg to feel how we did before, and after it’s over, we’re swift to forget the suffering. When money is low, it feels like the heaviest burden one can imagine, but it’s easy to wipe the ramen noodle dinners from memory when it’s abundant. It’s hard for me to even conjure up a mental picture of life before COVID. When I watch a reality TV show that occurred before masks and social distancing, I feel my body tense, even through a screen when I see a crowd.
It’s important to stay grounded and aware of the simple truths in life. They’re easy to forget- even easier to overlook. Especially when things are so hectic. But they’re the bits of advice that jump out and grab you. These truths are universal and timeless. They’re relevant no matter how the world changes. They temporarily shift your perspective. They make you better- until the brain settles back into a continuous motion and little reflection cycle.
