A Thought to Keep Forever: What Is One Thought That Quietly Changed the Way You See Life?

Hey everyone! 🌸

So, recently I was thinking about something and thought I’d share it with you all. 😄 I really love writing down good thoughts and quotes, so whenever I come across something nice that someone has said, I just write it down in my little thought book. 📖🖊️

I’ve been doing this for almost a year now, and honestly, I’ve collected so many thoughts already. ✨ Whenever I’m confused about something, going through a situation, or just need a little motivation, I open my book and start reading through the thoughts I’ve collected. And sometimes, I actually find the answer I was looking for there.

But this month, I haven’t found many new thoughts to write down. So I thought, why not ask you guys?

If you know any good thought, quote, or line that you really like, please share it with me! ✨ I’d love to add some new ones to my book.

You mean my handwriting? Lol no, pretty awful! When I write (handwriting) I tend to use block letters to keep it somewhat readable ...

I’ve collected quite a few thoughts over the years, but one of the simplest ones has stayed with me:

“Not everything that can be optimized should be optimized.”

I learned this through technology first, but eventually realized it applies to life too.

We spend so much time trying to make everything faster, better, more efficient, more productive… and sometimes we optimize the joy right out of it.

Some things are meant to be slow. Some mistakes are worth making. Some moments don’t need a purpose or a measurable result.

Efficiency is a great tool — just not a great way to measure a life. 🙂

This is such a profound thought—perfect for my notebook. Thank you so much. ❤️ :D

Nice, that's a really cool idea to write those down in your notebook! I recognized a couple there ... what about these ones:

He or she who does not appreciate the little things in life
is not worthy of the big things!

One from my side of the world. I'm Igbo, from Nigeria:

🇳🇬 Ihe kwuru, ihe akwudobe ya.
"Wherever something stands, something else stands beside it."

Nothing exists on its own, and there's never only one way of seeing a thing. Chinua Achebe used it often and put it plainly once: if there's one point of view, there will be a second one.

It's a quiet one, but it changes how you argue. You start asking what you're not seeing instead of defending what you already think. ✨
