The Weekly digs deep to find out why some famous sayings strike such a chord...
Those inspirational memes that frequently pop up on social media can do more than make you smile. Sometimes hearing the right thing at the right time is all that is required to give you the courage, confidence and motivation you need to change your life forever.
Sydney-based psychologists Joe Alberts and Angus Munro talk us through some of these famous inspirational quotes and elaborate on how to make them work for you.
QUOTE
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results.” - ALBERT EINSTEIN
LIFE LESSON
Embrace change.
We have all had that “What’s wrong with me?” situation where we have become undone even though we should have learnt from previous experience. It is common to make the same mistakes over and over. This quote is so great because it encourages people to be aware of their patterns of behaviour and to be proactive about exploring different options. When you realise that you are repeatedly making decisions that do not end well, be willing to experiment with different tactics. – JA
QUOTE
“Love is blind; friendship closes its eyes.” - FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
LIFE LESSON
Take heed if friends and family voice concerns about your new relationship.
The flood of happy hormones that often come with the first throes of love can make you so eager to keep the feeling alive that you are blinded to the 20 deal-breakers in front of you – be it unacceptable behaviours or character flaws that your new partner has exhibited that would normally have you running for the hills. And if the relationship ends, you are often the only one who is surprised.
