Now tell me, how do you feel when you see an inspirational quote? Let me guess, uninspired. Yeah, but that wasn't always the case. Think back to a decade ago. How did you feel when you saw an inspirational quote? I can tell you how you felt. You felt inspired. Yeah, you did.

You felt inspired. A decade ago, we loved inspirational quotes. We slapped them on our t-shirts, on our notebooks. We got tattoos of them all over our bodies. We loved inspirational quotes. And then all of a sudden, one day, we all collectively woke up and decided, we don't like inspirational quotes anymore. They're cringe.

They're overplayed. They're pretentious. They're cringe. They're overplayed. They're pretentious. They're cliche. And it became this sort of guilty pleasure. If you liked inspirational quotes, you shouldn't tell people about that. You know, it used to be posting an inspirational quote on your Instagram was cool, was, well, inspirational. And then it became cringe and chuggy and out of touch. But for fuck's sake, I think we need inspirational quotes. I think the fact that we've written off inspirational quotes as cringe and pretentious and cliché is, to me, a sign of a declining society.

If we can find something negative about inspirational quotes, that is a bad sign. Because from what I can remember of inspirational quotes, I haven't paid any attention to an inspirational quote in years. From what I can remember, they were delightful. They inspired thought. There was nothing remotely bad about them. We've all become far too judgmental, cynical, and like cool. Can we all just stop being fucking cool for a second

and be nice again? We need to get back into inspirational quotes. I think it's about time that we get back into inspirational quotes. And honestly, there's a chance that inspirational quotes might become trendy again, just considering that 2010s are going to start coming back soon. And we all know how we felt about an inspirational quote in 2010.

We loved it. So, I don't know, like maybe, maybe I'm just right on time and maybe inspirational quotes are going to come back into style, but they're definitely not yet.

of the inspirational quote, and I want to analyze the inspirational quotes that come up with fresh eyes, okay? For the last few years, whenever an inspirational quote has come up on my Pinterest, I've for the most part ignored it. Because I, like the rest of us, thought that they were cringe and overplayed, which is ironic because I'm the queen of inspirational speeches. Half of this podcast is just me on some sort of inspirational rant that sometimes gets turned into a TikTok sound and then people later are like,

Emma, is that your voice in that TikTok of you giving an inspirational speech? And I'm like, don't bring that up. Maybe I'm just as cringe as the inspirational quote. Maybe I am just one walking inspirational quote. But anyway, let's venture onto Pinterest, read some inspirational quotes and see what we discover about the art of the inspirational quote. Dare I say the lost art of the inspirational quote. What I learned about myself through the process, what I learned about society as a whole, and ultimately come to a conclusion about whether or not inspirational quotes

are worth our attention. Let's go on to Pinterest. Let's just go on to Pinterest. Okay, let's start with no matter how unrealistic it seems, it's going to happen. I'm not going to lie, we're starting out not very strong because I don't necessarily agree with this. The reality of life is that sometimes we have dreams and they don't ever come true. And this quote is saying, no, no, no, it's going to happen.

And I can't agree with that. Unfortunately, reality is harsh and unfair. And sometimes, things don't go your way. On the other hand, sometimes they do. But to me, this quote is a bit dishonest. If I had to rewrite this quote, I would say, no matter how unrealistic it seems, it's worth a try. Because that's absolutely true. You'll never know unless you try. Whether you succeed or not, the attempt will teach you something.

And that is beautiful and incredible and empowering. But this quote sucks. To me, I'm sorry, I don't like it. So if I had to rate this quote on a scale of one to 10, okay, one being this quote fucking sucks, 10 being this is the best quote I've ever read in my life, this quote, I'm not even gonna lie, two out of 10. It's not great. Let's move on.

Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day. I would say for the most part, yes. Sometimes there are days when quite literally nothing good happens. I guess even on the worst of days, can you maybe find something? Probably. Like even on the worst day of your life There was probably something good that happened whether it was community coming together or it was You know in epiphany that you had or it you could probably find something

But I also think again, I'm finding a hole Wow, I really thought that this whole episode is gonna be me defending inspirational quotes and I am ripping them apart I really thought that this whole episode was going to be me defending inspirational quotes and I am ripping them apart. It's okay if you just have a bad fucking day and there's nothing good about it. And sometimes a day is so fucking bad, it's not even beneficial to try to find something good about it. It's actually more effective and productive to just accept the fact that that was a horrible day and tomorrow will hopefully be better. It's okay to not be able to figure out where the positive element is, where the silver

lining is. There isn't always one, I don't think. But I would say in general, this quote is true when it comes down to a mundane, ordinary, meh sort of day. That's how most of our days are, just sort of ordinary. Ordinary days might not be good, right? Like we might not look back at those days in our lives, the ordinary ones, and say, oh, those are good days. But I do agree, even though those days aren't necessarily good, there's definitely something good in every ordinary day. So I guess I like 50% agree with this quote. So if I had to rate it, I'm going to go ahead and give this one a four and a half out of 10 because I do think in general it

actually does apply. This episode is brought to you by Uber Eats. It's official. The holidays are over. It's a brand new year and it's time to get back to work.

I'm snapping. I agree. Anyone who's creative can relate to this because it is really uncomfortable to be in a phase where, oh my God, this sounds cringe. This is cringe. I'm actually cringing, but it is true. There are times in life when you're not feeling creatively inspired or there's other things going on in your life that are preventing you from being creative. And it can make you feel like you've lost your creativity, like you're no longer a creative person because you're not actively using that muscle. But in my opinion, it never goes away. You either have it or you don't.

And that's not a bad thing at all. I think it just is the way that you are. And if you're not naturally a creative person, if you're again, more of like a mathematical, logistical, who knows, like scientific, like type A sort creative person, if you're again, more of like a mathematical, logistical, who knows, like scientific, like type A sort of person, you probably don't even want to be creative. That doesn't even sound inspiring or fulfilling to you. You are wired differently perhaps,

or maybe everyone's creative. I don't know, I'm not in everyone else's brain, okay? But most people that I know are creative in one way or another. Even like the people in my life who are really mathematical else's brain, okay? But most people that I know are creative in one way or another, even like the people in my life who are really mathematical and logistical and type A, like my mom, for example. My mom is one of the most like organized, like she is just, everything is perfect. Everything is like done exactly right. You know, she doesn't like using her creative mind. She likes doing

things logistically and in an organized manner. You know what I mean? Not in like a creative thinking outside the box sort of way. Like she doesn't like doing that for the most part. However, I still think she's a very creative woman. There are times when she problem solves in a way that's incredibly creative and I couldn't even imagine, like I couldn't even fathom how she like came up with that. I don't know. I think creativity looks different for everyone and I actually, as I'm discussing it, think probably everyone's creative in one way or another, but maybe not everyone's creative in like an art sort of way. And so back to the fucking quote, because I love to go off on a tangent. I agree with this quote. I relate to the feeling of maybe not feeling inspired

or being busy with other things that are preventing me from being creative and creating some form of art. And it fucks with my head and makes me feel like I've lost it. And I agree that that's not true. Even though I know that, it's still helpful to see a quote like this. So, you know what? Thank you Pinterest I'm feeling inspired. Honestly, I'm giving this quote a nine and a half out of ten I want to give it a ten out of ten

But I'm giving it a nine and a half because I felt cringe when I was talking about it Like it definitely felt a bit pretentious, it definitely made me cringe. So because of that, it's getting a nine and a half, but I mean, it is damn close to a 10 out of 10. What else? All right, next. When you choose yourself, everything around you will choose you too.

Again, this is a little bit unrealistic, and I have a problem with that. Because again, like even when you choose yourself with which is, well, I don't even know if I agree. We need to break this down. When you choose yourself, which I'm assuming means like to love yourself, to be connected to yourself, everything around you will love you, will be connected to you, you know, whatever. This is not true to me. It's unrealistic, it's not how the world works.

You might be in an incredible place with yourself and you might go on a date and that person will reject you. You know, you might apply for a job and not get it. Does it help? Sure, absolutely. And it makes rejection much easier as well. Because if you're truly choosing yourself, you know your worth and you know that you are not defined by rejection in life and stuff, right?

And again, maybe I'm like missing the nuance, but I don't love it. I just don't love it. And so I'm going to go ahead and give this quote. I'm gonna give it a three and a half out of 10, because I do think that the sentiment is good. Like I do think when you choose yourself, like I think choosing yourself is ultimately a good thing, but it's not always true. So it's getting three and a half, which is really low,

but that's just how I feel about it. All right, next. Better to admit, you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room. Okay, let's break this, the F down. Better to admit you walked through the wrong door and then ultimately leave that room and try another one than spend your life in the wrong room

because you're too afraid to leave and admit, oh God, I went into the wrong room. Okay, I understand this now. I kind of love this quote. I kind of love this quote. Okay, am I going to get this tramp stamped onto me? I kind of love this. I completely agree. This really taps into sort of the stubbornness of humans. It is really hard for some of us to admit when we've made a mistake. And maybe we've started on a venture that actually isn't working. And this can apply to so many different things. This can apply to a romantic relationship, to a job prospect, to a creative passion.

Like there have been things that I've started. Like a good example would be like the interviews on this show. Anything Goes. Okay, I did, I really tried to make interviews work and I just ended up being like, this doesn't feel like me for some reason. This doesn't feel like anything goes. I just don't like it. I don't enjoy doing it. I'm not passionate about it. I don't like it. It doesn't work for me. And in a way, that's sort of a failure. And I ended up doing interviews for months and months and months longer than I wanted to maybe, because I was like, no, I need to find a way to like this. I wanna like this, I wanna like this.

But the truth is, I walked through the wrong door. And eventually I was like, all right, I walked through the wrong fucking door. I gotta get out of here. And I did. And now I'm at a place where I'm fucking loving it and I am doing it alone every episode and I absolutely love it.

And it's incredible. And I'm having so much fun. And the only reason why I'm here now is because I walked into the wrong room and then realized it was wrong and then walked out and now I'm here. You know what I'm saying? I walked into a new room and that's the room.

I've been in relationships where I've known it wasn't working, but I had told myself in the beginning of the relationship, like I wanna marry this person. And so I have fought for this thing that wasn't really working because I was stubborn. I was like, when I walked into this room, I decided I was gonna stay in this room.

And it takes courage and like an ego death to say, I'm wrong, I'm fucking wrong, I failed, this whole thing failed, I'm in the wrong room. I gotta get out and try another one. But it can be so joyful and it is so joyful. I absolutely love this quote. This quote to me, it might be a 10 out of 10. Damn, I love it.

I love this fucking quote. That is beautiful me, it might be a 10 out of 10. Damn, I love it. I love this fucking quote. That is beautiful. I love it. All right, moving on to risk is better than regret. You know what? To a certain extent, I will agree. I do think it's better to take a risk, I think it's better to take a risk, a risk that is ultimately not dangerous, right? A risk that's not going to actually hurt you, right? It's better to risk than to regret. In that case, yes. I've actually never regretted a risk like that. I think back to times when it's been sort of a risk to say confront somebody or tell them how I feel about them or even like starting my YouTube channel or you know all these

things were risks that ended up being incredibly rewarding even if they failed at first even if they failed altogether like I've always come out the other side either wiser or with an incredible something incredible in front of me you know what I mean like it's something really I really reap the benefit of the risk so I agree I will say though like when it comes to things that actually do have physical risk to your like health and safety for example like skydiving okay things can go wrong when you skydive. Another example, reaching out to an ex that was abusive. These are risks that may be tempting in one way or another,

but like, even if you regret not doing those things, you're better off, like if you don't feel right about it, you're better off not doing it. I wouldn't promote like learning how to do flips on a dirt bike. Like If you genuinely see the risk in that and you're uncomfortable by it, I would never say, well, you should do it anyway because risk is better than regret. No, I don't think that that applies there. But when it comes to emotional things or things that are ultimately harmless, the worst thing that's going to happen is maybe people make fun of you, which can be really harmful, but you're not going to die from that.

In fact, that's a normal part of life. Or you might get rejected. This is risk that I believe in. That is risk that will help you grow. I'm gonna rate risk is better than regret, honestly, a six out of 10. I'm gonna rate it a six out of 10 because I think for harmless risk, I absolutely agree.

And I like to believe that the nuance is there. Okay, moving on. What you're looking for is not out there. It's in you. Yeah, I agree somewhat. Like, what does this quote mean? The sentiment that accomplishing something in your career, dating, you know your dream significant other Looking the way you've always wanted to look like those types of things Those are not gonna fulfill you in the way that you think that they are Ultimately the fulfillment comes from within What do I mean by this like

Accomplishing what you want to accomplish dating the person you want to date, looking the way you want to look, that only goes so far. Like, that's never going to fully, like, it's never going to fully satisfy you. It's never going to fully fulfill you unless you have a good relationship with yourself, unless you are happy with who you are as a person,

unless you have your morals and values sorted out and in line. Like unless all of that is intact, the stuff out there, it's not gonna fulfill you. At the end of the day, it is in you. I agree, but I also think it isn't all in you. We as humans get fulfillment from helping others, from experiencing the world,

from witnessing beauty, from treating others with kindness, from making art, from creating things that make the world a better place. There are things that we do that are outside of ourselves. There are things outside of ourselves that do provide us a lot of value. You know, community, camaraderie. I don't know, there are so many things outside of ourselves that do provide value.

And that is my one issue with this is that it isn't all in you. You know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm misreading this quote, but saying what you're looking for is not out there, it's in you. To me, like I take it to an extreme.

I imagine like if I was locked in a room, this quote is telling me the stuff out there in the world, that doesn't matter. All you need is yourself. That's not fucking true. Humans are social animals. We need other people. We need the sun.

We need plants. We need trees. We need to jump around. We need to swing on the branches sometimes. Do you know what I'm saying? And that is not in us. That is in the world. Do you know what I'm saying? So I don't know. That is to me the flaw in this quote that kind of negates the value that the world around us brings. In fact, I think focusing too much on ourselves can be a horrible thing. And I think a

lot of times we need to look now more than ever in the age of the internet where we're all becoming more and more narcissistic because that's the impact that social media and the internet has on us. Like, if anything, we need to focus our energy outward on, you know, the exploring the world and in, you know, treating other people with loving kindness and learning about other people and learning about the world around us. If anything, that's what we need more than ever. So I am not sure that this quote is almost saying like, look inward, it's in you. It's like, yeah, but we need to look around.

I don't know. But then at the same time, there is a lot of personal work that we have to look around. I don't know. But then at the same time, there is a lot of personal work that we have to do with ourselves that is in us, that is crucial for us to be able to, you know, enjoy the world around us and stuff like that. I don't know. I'm gonna give this one probably a four out of 10.

I don't love it. Wow, I really hate inspirational quotes. What is happening? I thought we were all going to get inspired today. I guess I was wrong. Okay, next. Life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself. I agree. Oh my God, wait, I just saw on this one. Baby girl. Wait, this is actually the full quote. Excuse me, can't believe I missed the small text on this. This is the full quote, excuse me. Baby girl, just remember, life isn't about finding yourself. It's about creating yourself.

Find the power in that. Now that I've been called baby girl, I actually totally agree. It's actually like a better version of the last quote that we just read, which was, what you're looking for is not out there, it's in you. This is a better version of that. Life isn't about finding yourself in things.

It's not about finding yourself, it's about creating your unique being as a beautiful sort of combination of all of the things that you've experienced and all the things that you love, like creating yourself, yourself. It's kind of hurting my brain. I'm gonna give it a seven out of 10, or maybe even a seven and a half out of 10.

I actually quite like it. Again, I can't explain it or put it into words, but yeah, like seven and a half out of 10. I actually quite like it. Again, I can't explain it or put it into words, but yeah, like seven and a half out of 10. It's pretty good. Moving on. The universe sends us exactly what we are ready for at the exact time we need it in our lives. Again, this one's a little bit too good to be true for me. Sometimes the universe sends us shit that really is just fucking unfair, painful, horrible. But you know what? Majority of the time this is true. Majority of the time I do agree with this.

And I actually think even if it isn't true, believing it is a net positive in my opinion because I think we all know that inevitably bad shit's going to happen to in our life. Unfortunate shit is gonna happen to us in our lives. And there is something really comforting about believing that some sort of higher power, doesn't matter what religion you believe in, it doesn't matter if you are religious, it doesn't matter the only, I mean, if you're an atheist, this one might not work for you. But other than that, if you're even a remotely spiritual person, there is value in being like, you know what? I'm gonna trust that the universe is giving me

exactly what I need when I need it. Even if it's the fucking worst possible thing that could happen. If I'm not dead, for some reason, this is what's meant to happen right now. There is like beauty in that. There is like, I think believing that, even though it's a bit too good to be true,

and sometimes the universe will hit you when you're down over and over and over again, and it will feel unfair, and it is unfair, and it doesn't make sense, and sometimes it's not exactly what you need. You know what I'm saying? Like, that is like a little bit blissfully ignorant to reality, right?

But at the same time, I have a soft spot for this because I do think that believing it is like a net positive in life. If you can find a way to believe this, I think you should, and I try to believe this. It brings me a lot of peace when I do. And so with that, I'm gonna give this quote in a seven and a half out of 10 as well.

Maybe a seven, maybe a seven, because it's a little bit too like unrealistic, but so seven, seven out of 10. Okay, next, change is scary, but so is staying the same. You know, it's funny, this is like the least deep one we've read thus far, arguably. No, I would say risk is better than regret,

was probably less. No, honestly, no. That one's weirdly more deep than this. This is probably the most surface level one that we've read. Change is scary, but so is staying the same. This is the first one that I think I have no complaints about. It's simple, it's to the point, and it's absolutely true. Change is absolutely scary.

And it's often met with criticism, discomfort, blah, blah, blah. But staying the same, I'd argue, is even scarier. It's way scarier. It's definitely more comfortable, but it is not good. Okay, this one's great. Can I be honest? Eight out of ten. You have to admit you're a little bit inspired by that one. That makes you inspired to change and not say the same.

Admit it. You're feeling inspired. Next, motivated by the fear of being average. I fucking hate this quote. Sorry, I don't like it and I'll tell you why. What's wrong with being average? Tell me what's wrong with being average. Majority of people on this planet are average at things.

Okay? Majority of people are average planet are average at things. Okay? Majority of people are average at school, and then they play sports and they're average at those. They're not the best on the team. And then they go and work their job and they're average at their job. Does that make them an average? Are they defined by that?

Majority of people on this planet are average at things. My entire life, I was arguably average at things. I was average at sports. I are average at things. My entire life, I was arguably average at things. I was average at sports. I was average at school. I was good at school. I got good grades, but I wasn't the best. I wasn't the valedictorian. I wasn't in all honors classes. I was in a lot of that, but like always still average. There is nothing wrong with being average. I don't like this at all. To me, this is degrading to majority of society. Not everyone on this planet is meant to be an Olympic gold medalist.

Not everyone on this planet is meant to be the most beautiful supermodel on the planet. Not everyone is supposed to be a super successful entrepreneur or billionaire. And by the way, like that's totally fine. Life is probably more fulfilling for those who are average than it is for those who are above average. I'm not kidding. And you can fight with me all you want. And you will, you might.

You can fight with me all you want. I stand by that. I think people who are Olympic gold medalists, billionaires, these are, this, that is a nightmare. I don't envy that position at all. Being the best, no, sorry, I don't envy that at all. There is beauty in having somewhat of a simple life, having maybe even an average life.

I don't know, to discount that, it is just wrong to me. It is wrong to me. This is, to me, I'm not even kidding, a zero out of ten. No, fuck that. I fucking hate that. That like pisses me off. I'm not even kidding. I'm mad. I'm mad. I think it's so toxic. I think it's absolutely toxic and it's degrading to human beings. If I could rewrite this quote, I would say, motivated by the fear of being unfulfilled. That's what I'd change this quote to.

Zero out of 10. Moving on. I briefly pause this episode to let you know that this episode is brought to you by Walmart. The rumors are true, girls.

Shop the latest spring trends and find the looks you love at walmart.com slash trends now, let's get back to the episode Next your time on earth is limited. Don't try to age with grace age with mischief Audacity in a good story to tell I don't know about mischief. I actually don't have any sort of desire to be mischievous. Can I actually Google what mischievous really means? Because when I think of it, I think of like, I don't know, being kind of like evil a little bit. Okay, mischievous according to Oxford languages,

of a person, animal or their behavior causing or showing a fondness for causing trouble in a playful way. Nah, I don't like that. I think that's no. With mischief, like causing trouble, like I'm all about goofing around, but like I would replace mischief with humor. I don't like mischief.

I don't think we necessarily need to ever be causing trouble. I really don't. Like personally, I don't like being pranked. I don't like that. I don't think that's very funny. It pisses me off. Like if somebody's like hiding behind a corner and I come around and they jump out at me, that's not funny to me.

That's stupid. What are we three years old? Grow the fuck up. Come up with a funny witty joke in the moment. Let's grow up. Let's go ahead and grow up. All right? So I don't know about mischief.

Humor, love. Even when it misses the mark, you know, which happens sometimes. Especially when it misses the mark, you know, which happens sometimes, especially if you're somebody who's like particularly silly. Sometimes you'll take a joke too far. Sometimes you'll hurt someone's feelings. It's the name of the game.

But I think humor is rooted in laugh and good and happy. And there's no trouble involved for the most part. No, aging with mischief, no. Audacity, I have to Google audacity too, sorry. Boldness or daring, especially with confident or arrogant disregard for personal safety, conventional thought or other restrictions. Again, it's like trying to be,

this quote is trying to be edgy. The fact that the word arrogant is coming up for this, I'm not loving, I'm not loving. I do think like Confidence though is good. So, okay Perhaps we change this quote to your time on earth is limited. Don't try to age with grace age with humor Confidence in a good story to tell I love that. I think that's great Mischief and audacity I think to me as a bit too negative of a connotation. It's like

Audacity, I think to me, is a bit too negative of a connotation. It's like too edgy in a way that's not charming. In theory, as we grow older, we're less mischievous. We realize that being mischievous has a net negative impact on other people sometimes. To be humorous is good, but mischievous less so. Audacity, sometimes audacity is disrespectful. Sometimes it's, I don't know, like I don't like that word either. Yeah, I'm gonna give this one a four and a half out of 10.

Cause I do think that it, I get what it was going for, but to me it missed the mark of it. Okay, next. The only failure is not to try. I absolutely agree. This is great. This is absolutely great. I absolutely agree.

And again, this one's very simple, but I think its simplicity is its strong suit. Okay, I think it's great. I don't even know what to say about this. It explains itself. That's what's so great about it. I'm giving this quote a nine and a half out of 10. It's absolutely true and it's inspiring. It emp giving this quote a nine and a half out of 10. It's absolutely true and it's inspiring. It empowers us to try things and not be afraid of failure.

It gets us off our ass. I'm into it. I'm all about it. I love this quote. Nine and a half out of 10. The only reason why I'm not giving it a 10 out of 10 is because it's not hitting me hard enough to be 10 out of 10, but it's hitting pretty hard. So nine and a half out of 10.

Next, consistency is key. Another short and sweet fucking Sabrina Carpenter banger. Short and sweet. The Sabrina Carpenter album, of course, go stream it as though she needs any more streams. She has enough streams. No, she doesn't. She deserves infinite streams. No, she doesn't. She deserves infinite streams. Sabrina Carpenter to me deserves whatever the most amount of streams in the world is, she deserves double that.

I absolutely love Sabcarp. Anyway, this quote is short, it's sweet and it's good. Consistency is key. I agree. I absolutely agree. In my life, I actually, you know, within the last year, I've really realized this. Like this has become a truth to me

because there's been multiple instances over the last few years where things have started out really challenging. And then as I've stuck with them, they've gotten easier and really become rewarding. And actually a great example would be this podcast. I've always been... Okay, this is like breaking the fourth wall

for you as a podcast listener, but I've always been pretty behind on my podcast episodes. Like, to the week, I make an episode and it goes live that week. Like, that's always sort of how I've been. I've rarely been ahead. And this season of the podcast, I was like, I really don't like living in that state of like constant

feeling like a bit behind. I need to be more consistent with like recording on a weekly basis, not like getting sort of ahead and then taking a week and a half off and then being behind again and like not doing that. I want to start being more consistent. And at first it was incredibly challenging because, and this sounds fucking ridiculous,

but like I was sort of feeling exhausted. Like when I record an episode, I'll sometimes get exhausted from it, which sounds literally ridiculous, but it's sort of an expenditure of energy or whatever. Anyway, but I really challenged myself to be consistent and to record at least, you know, at least two a week. Because technically, you know, I post two a week.

So my goal was like, am I at least two a week? If more, great. If you have stuff on your mind, great, more. Do more, get ahead. But like, two a week. And not only am I enjoying making the podcast now more than ever, but like, my energy is up, the ideas are flowing, I have infinite ideas. Like it's just, it's making it all easier and it's beautiful.

Another thing, like I talk about my fucking yoga class all the time. I have my yoga class. When I first started going, I was really frustrated by the fact that I had to park on the top floor. I like was really exhausted by the whole routine of going into this class and sweating a lot and then getting out of the class and then having to take off my clothes

and put them into a plastic bag so that they're not getting my stuff all wet and then showering in the shower there. And then I have soap and I need to bring my own soap because I have sensitive skin, so I need my own soap. And this whole routine was so clunky to me, but I was consistent with it for like a month, and now it's easy.

It's autopilot. Consistency is key. It really is. And I know that the two examples I just gave are really random and kind of cringe, but I continue to be reminded how true this is. To me, 10 out of 10, consistency is key in a lot of things in life.

Next, the universe will never give you peace in something. You were never meant to settle in. I kind of love this. It's sort of the idea like the universe is gonna sort of let you know when something's not right for you. The universe, if you're not finding peace in something, it's because you weren't supposed to.

Like it's happening for a reason. I like this. I feel absolutely warm and fuzzy. I literally, I've never felt warmer or fuzzier. I feel just absolutely warm and fuzzy. I'm gonna give this a nine and a half out of 10. I really like it. It does make sense to me and it does feel good in it.

And I like it. And this is something I feel inspired by it. I'm gonna give this a 10 out of 10, honestly. I think it's great and I like it and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy, okay? So fuck it, 10 out of 10 or maybe nine and a half, but whatever, nine and a half or 10 out of 10. Okay, 9.75, fuck it. Next, don't tell people your plans. Show them your results.

You know what? We really started out this episode like with some fucking horrible quotes. We're picking it up. This is a great quote. I completely, completely agree. And I'm all about this. And I've been doing this for a long time.

Sort of just zipping my lip about things that I'm working on, things that I'm planning until they're done. Because I don't know, I think that the process of doing things, accomplishing goals, et cetera, it's not a linear process. And it's also something that doesn't always work out. And sometimes it not working out is exactly what needed to happen for you to figure out what to work on next.

It's almost better to just go on that journey silently on your own and not have other people's opinions or their knowing of your plans to put pressure on you. It's better to just go on the journey on your own and having the freedom to sort of pivot and change your plans and fail a trillion times and there's no timeline because you're the only one that knows about your plans. It just, it's better psychologically. I almost feel like we can give ourselves a mental block when we talk about our plans to people.

Um, and it also, I don't believe in like jinxing things or at least I try not to because it like really triggers my perfectionist perfectionism and my like OCD sort of brain like I I Really have a hard time with that like then I'm like knocking on wood and I'm like not sleeping because I'm thinking about the facts The fact that I jinxed something and that's me having perhaps some undiagnosed mental illness But yeah, like I'm all about this. This is a 10 out of 10 for me I just think it's it's simple and it's fucking true But yeah, like I'm all about this. This is a 10 out of 10 for me. I just think it's simple and it's fucking true. And it sounds like, this one definitely sounds pretentious, but it is, to me it's not.

It is just fully fucking true. Next, my life became so much simpler when I decided to just let people misunderstand me. Sorry, another banger. Sorry, another banger. Sorry, another banger. See, this is realistic. I like this because it's realistic, right? It's saying like, you know what?

It's okay that some people are not gonna like me. Some people are not gonna get me. And life is so much simpler when that is accepted. See, this is positive to me because it's like an empowering sentiment that also is paired with like accepting an unfair part of reality. It's equally realistic and empowering. You know, I love this. I'm going to give it an eight out of 10. No, honestly, a nine out of 10. Like I quite like it. I

think it's great. Next, be kind. Life is a mirror. This is true. Life can be a mirror. I wouldn't say life is always a mirror because again, like you can be kind, you can be an absolutely perfect human being and bad things will still happen to you.

Unfair things will still happen to you. People will still treat you badly. This is the reality of life, okay? This is how the world works, this is how the planet, it's not great, it's not, listen, it would be great if you being a good person immediately reflected to everyone loves you, everything's great, all fortune is good, but that, again,

that's a little bit unrealistic. And life isn't a perfect mirror. But I will say that we should always strive to be kind because it is true that the more good that we put out into the world, the more good that we get back. Does that mean that, the reason why I don't like the quote is because saying life is a mirror

is like saying life perfectly a mirror is like saying life perfectly reflects You you know what I mean? So if you're nice life is nice That's not true You can be nice and your life can suck and bad things can happen to you and you can go through really rough patches You see what I'm saying? I would maybe change the quote to like I don't know like be kind The more good you put out into the world, the more good you'll get back,

because I do think that that's true. But I will say though that it is fascinating, because I look at my life, and there have been moments where I've felt like there was just complete injustice. I'm like, what the fuck? I'm being so nice, I'm handling things so well, I'm doing the right things,

and yet people who are not are getting rewarded. How is this fair? Life does not feel like a mirror now because I feel like I'm doing the right thing and my life is harder than people who are not, and that doesn't make sense to me. But it all evens out in the end. It really does. It all evens out in the end. There is almost something weirdly spiritual about that that I almost can't explain or put a finger on.

But it is sort of true. I'm gonna get that six and a half out of 10 because again, the life is a mirror thing I think is not quite right. Next, who would you be if you weren't afraid? I can answer that, a sociopath, a psychopath. Like to be human, to be like a normal human with like a normal brain, you're afraid of things. To be afraid, that's a survival mechanism.

So who would you be if you weren't afraid you would be a sociopath and a psychopath? This quote's missing the mark for me. I get what they're trying to say. It's like, you know, who would you be today if you weren't afraid? What would you have accomplished by now? You know, it's like, sort of speaking to like, who would you be if your fears didn't get in the way of, you know, striving towards your dreams, reaching goals, you know, taking

risks to getting where you want to be in life. Like, I get the sentiment, but like, I don't like the way it's worded. And the way it's worded makes it, like, not really make sense to me. Like, if I could rewrite the quote, I would say, who would you be if you faced your fears? Maybe. Is that better? No, because I think sometimes our fears are rational.

And we don't actually even need to face them. It's like, fine that we're afraid of certain things. So I would prefer like, who would you be if you weren't afraid of failure? Right, like maybe that's better. Like if failure didn't scare you, which I actually don't think it should. I think it's normal to be like, you know, a bit uncomfortable around failure sometimes,

but I think that's a better quote. Who would you be if you weren't afraid of failure? Because saying if you weren't afraid, like that's too broad. What does that even mean? And being afraid is like actually a good healthy response to certain things in life. Like we should definitely be glad that we're afraid of stuff sometimes, you know? Okay. I'm going to give that four out of three and a half out of 10. I keep giving half scores. Okay. Let me round up four out of 10. No, you know what? Two out of 10. I keep giving half scores. Okay, let me round up four out of 10. No, you know what? Two out of 10. I don't like that quote. Maybe I'm taking it personally because

I am ultimately really afraid of everything and I'm a scaredy cat. Okay, next. Forget the mistake. Remember the lesson. Okay, I don't think we should be forgetting the mistake. I'm not going to lie. I don't think we should forget the mistake. Perhaps forgive the mistake. I think it's okay to forgive the mistake, but to forget? I don't know about that. I think it's important to remember when we have fucked up and how we have fucked up for the rest of our lives. I don't think we should force that out of our memory. What happens when you completely forget? You do it again. So I don't know about forgetting the mistake, but forgiving the mistake? Sure. Sure. Remembering the lesson? Absolutely. This quote kind of sucks.

I'm going to give it a three out of 10 because forget the mistake. Okay, that's half the quote. 50% of this quote is missing the mark. Forget the mistake? No, no, no, no, no, no. But if we just change the word forget to forgive, I think it'd be incredible. I think this would be absolutely, in fact, I'd get it tattooed on my body. I'd get a t-shirt with this on it if it had that. Four out of, or did I say four out of 10?

Two out of 10, I don't even know what I said. It just isn't a good quote, it's just not well done. It wasn't, let's say three out of 10. Okay, next. Consume less, create more. I really like this one. And this one actually really relates to my personal life right now,

because I have had this epiphany over the last few months. I have been consuming a lot of content for my entire life. Since I was a child, especially YouTube and social media. And I've never even watched a lot of TV or movies. I've always consumed a lot of like internet content. And I had sort of the epiphany through watching a video that came up on my explore page that literally was titled this exact quote and also talking to other creative people in my life.

I'm very fortunate to have a lot of creative people in my life. In fact, I actually don't think anyone in my life isn't creative, which is very cool. Except my mom is a little bit logistical, but she's still creative in my heart and in my mind. You know, a piece of advice that another creative person in my life gave me was to consume less and create more. And it was something that like, I really,

I had a hard time with in the beginning because I've already cut down my media consumption to like an abnormally low amount. Okay, I deleted all the social media apps off my phone. I don't doom scroll anymore. I don't do that. All I had left was like YouTube. And I realized like I was abusing that too.

And so I deleted it off my phone. And at this point I'm consuming almost no content at all. I'm consuming virtually nothing, and I've never felt more creative, I guess. So I'm all about this, 10 out of 10. 10 out of fucking 10. Now, listen, this quote doesn't apply to everyone, right? Like I think there are some people who don't necessarily

want or feel fulfilled by creating things. Some people find fulfillment and excitement and even, like, creative excitement around other things. I don't know. Like, I don't know that this quote applies to everyone. Maybe it does. Maybe it does.

But I don't think it does. Maybe consuming less is good for everybody. Consuming less internet. I say ironically as you're listening to my podcast and consuming my podcast, but I'd like to believe that I'm a healthy option, if you will. Okay, next. Pull away from what doesn't push you forward. Okay, that's just true. Anything that's forcing you to remain stagnant, potentially even pulling you backwards,

get away from that. People, job, anything. I'm all about that. I absolutely agree. I think that that is a great point. I think that's a great point. The way it's worded is a little bit cringe, so I'm going to give it an eight out of ten. But I think it's true. Any type of relationship, any type of career thing that you're pursuing, like listen, and you can't always, I actually like the way it's worded. You know what, maybe I'll bump it to a nine out of 10, because saying pull away is actually a great,

that is true. You can't just cut people off, cut things off immediately. Sometimes you have to slowly but surely pull away, especially when it comes to relationships or a career. It's like, you can't just wake up one day and say, I'm done, and then end it. A lot of times it's a journey to ending things, right? And so you have to slowly but surely pull away.

Wait, is this bumping up to a nine and a half out of 10? I kinda like that quote. Okay, moving on, to underthink it. That's the quote, underthink it. Instead of overthink it, like I do, underthink it. I don't like this. I don't like this because I don't think either extreme is good.

I don't think overthinking is good and I definitely don't think underthinking it is good. I understand like being intuitive and like maybe like, no, but you know what, underthinking it, doing things without giving them like a healthy amount of thought, I can't agree with that. I think there's nothing wrong with analyzing things and considering things and analyzing

things. Overthinking things is not good, right? But I think underthinking is just as bad. I think what we should be striving for is some sort of happy medium. So ultimately, this quote sucks and I'm giving it a one out of 10. I just think underthink it. It's like, you know, that quote to me is just, it's just the opposite of overthinking. But see, in the case of overthinking, the opposite is equally as bad. Overthinking is bad because it's an extreme. Underthinking is bad because it's also an extreme.

What we want is balance. Okay, moving on. You cannot use someone else's map to find yourself. Okay, well, what does that really mean? You cannot use someone else's map to find yourself. Perhaps, like, someone else is not going to help you find yourself. You need to find yourself. Yeah or no?

I actually do think that this is good. I think this is actually quite valuable now that I think about it because I do think that there are times in our lives when we look to our friend group or our significant other to help us find ourselves. And that is not gonna work and it never works. In fact, it tends to put a strain on the relationship or the friendship because you start to expect this person to

guide you to fulfillment, you know? And they never will because you are the only one who can guide yourself to fulfillment. You know what I'm saying? And to rely on others for our feelings of like satisfaction and wholeness. It's just, it's destined to fail. And so, you know what? I actually kind of like this quote. I'm gonna give it a seven out of 10. I'm gonna give it a seven out of 10 because its meaning is a little bit confusing

to the point where it's like, this quote's almost not even effective because I barely even know what it means, but like, I think I know what it means and if I think I know what it means correctly, then I think I like it. Okay, moving on. Next, if everything around seems dark,

look again, you may be the light. Well, if everything around seems dark, it's because there's no light at all, right? If you're the light, then you're shining light on what would then be dark. To me, this quote makes no sense. And maybe I'm just low IQ. Like, sorry. Maybe it's a me problem, but to me, this is not making sense. Okay, I guess I get what I mean. I'm thinking, if everything around seems dark, look again, you may be the light. Basically saying, if everything around you seems horrible, it's a mess, that doesn't mean that you are also dark.

You can be the light in that darkness. But see, this is just, I don't know, it doesn't really make sense to me. Like on the surface level, like it sounds great, you know what I mean? But when you actually dig into it and are like, what does this even mean? It's a, it doesn't quite make sense. But the sentiment of like, in the midst of darkness, you can be a light. I think that's a beautiful sentiment. And I think it's absolutely true. Luckily, oftentimes you're in control

of if you're that light or not. So I almost wish that this quote kind of tapped into that. Like, if everything around you seems dark, you can be the light. Instead of saying, look again, you may be the light. Instead of saying like, wait, you might have missed it the first time, you are the light. I think that that makes it a bit confusing.

I'm gonna give the quote a six out of 10, cause it's close. Maybe even a seven out of 10. It's close, but it's not quite there for me. Okay, next. Whoa, this fucking quote is incredible. She was poetry, but he couldn't read. Oh my God.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen this quote, but always a little bit different. Like, she was a best-selling novel, but he was ultimately illiterate. Or like, she was a sunset, but he was blind. It's like, wow, that is kind of a crazy thing to say. I've seen these quotes a lot. And it's, can I be honest, this is one of the most cringe, this is really cringe. And I'm not like being some sort of like bitch. Like I'm not being like a pick me.

Like, oh my God, you guys, she was poetry but he couldn't read? Like, I bet she wasn't shit. Like what? No, I'm not saying it like that. I'm saying this is one of the worst quotes I've ever heard. Do you know what? No, actually, that's not what I mean. Because it's actually not bad,

and it actually is kind of true. And to be honest, I can't tell you how many times I was poetry and he couldn't read. This is my life. I relate to this quote. There's just something about it that's so cringe to me, even though it's true, but it's so cringe. But it is kind of a beautiful sentiment, actually.

It really is. Because it is true that there are times in life when you can be an incredible person, and that doesn't mean that everyone's going to see it. Yeah, you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea. She was cilantro, but he had the soap gene. You know, like when people have like the soap gene and like cilantro tastes like soap?

Like this is true. I'm literally, why is this so funny to me? What's another one? Let's come up with some. I'm having fun now. Okay, oh my God. She was a mango Juul pod, but he smoked cigarettes. Holy shit, that's so true.

Wow, that's true. You know what, that's a little niche, but if you fucking know what I mean, if you had a mango Juul pod, wow, that's true. Okay, wait, let's keep thinking. One more, one more. Okay, I have to give up. I don't have any more.

I was gonna say something like, she was a Margiela Tabby boot, but he doesn't get it. You know, but like, fuck that. Okay, I'm moving on. See, I ruined everything. Like, I actually was, the first few were actually funny, and then I ruined it. Okay, moving on. Oh, okay, I'm going to rate this quote. I'm going to give it a seven because it's cringe, but a seven because it's actually kind of good and true. I'm giving, she was cilantro, but he had the soap gene. I'm giving that one a 10.

All right, let's move on. And then I realized the fire was always burning within me, but the flames were busy keeping everyone else warm. Well, if they're inside of you, right? They are also, they're keeping you warm as well. You know what I'm saying? So again, this one's not quite making sense to me. It would maybe make more sense if it was like, the fire, my fire was burning outside of me.

Or no, no, oh, I have it, I have it. Okay. If it was something like, I started my fire to keep others warm When I should have started my fire inside of myself to keep me warm horrible. I did a horrible job but you go what I'm saying like it this doesn't I'm Listen, I know this is all like ridiculous, but I'm just saying but again I I agree with the sentiment the sentiment is like giving too much of ourselves to others to the point where we can't take care of ourselves, right?

This is a bit iffy to me, right? And the reason for that is I do think, and the older I get, I think this even more, that it is so important to take care of others, to help others. But at the same time, I am aware of the importance of taking care of ourselves first. You know, it's like, we should always take care of ourselves before we take care of others. Like, we can't properly take care of others

unless we take care of ourselves. I really think what it comes down to is trying to find the perfect balance, where what we should be striving for is to light a fire that keeps us and those around us warm, right? So maybe we could rewrite the quote with that in mind. Like, instead of saying, the fire was always burning within me,

but the flames were busy keeping everyone else warm. Instead of that, okay, what if it was something like, I took such good care of the fire inside of me that it grew big enough to warm everyone. Now, obviously everyone, that is a bit of hyperbole there, but that's kind of heat right there. That's, oh my God, no pun intended. I'm silly today.

Yeah, that's better, that's better. Listen, I'm not trying to insult these people who wrote these poems, okay? Poetry, I am not a poet. I have no fucking idea what I'm talking about right now, and I could be missing the mark on every single one here. But I'm just being honest. I'm gonna rate the original quote,

honestly, that one's a four for me, a four out of 10. I don't, maybe even a three out of 10, I don't love it. Let's say three and a half out of 10. It's not great, but I do think it's close. It's close, it almost got it. All right, next. You can't talk butterfly language with caterpillar people. I'm a bit put off by this because it's sort of putting

people down who are not at the same point in their development as you. Like, it's not necessarily a bad thing to be a bit behind somebody else. Caterpillar people, if you will, grow by talking to butterfly people a lot of times. Like, we need to have those types of conversations together. So I don't like the idea of like this sort of like segregation Almost it's like you can't talk butterfly language with caterpillar people. This is weird. Okay, like what are we talking about? Like I mean I get what they're trying to say. It's like you can't You know if you've if you've done the work and you've grown emotionally and you're an emotionally mature Person, you know you it's hard to have a conversation with somebody

who hasn't gone through that journey yet. They just can't even comprehend. And that's true to an extent, but I just don't like the vibe that this is giving off. Like it feels weird. And I do think that we should try to talk butterfly language with caterpillar people to help them learn.

And to sort of assume that people who are a bit behind us can't comprehend or will never comprehend and we can't talk to them that way or they need to figure it out on their own. It's like, we're all in this together and I don't know, I just, three out of 10. Maybe even that's a two out of 10 or maybe one out of 10. Actually, it's a one out of 10

because also I hate caterpillars. So yeah. Okay, don't strive to be well known, strive to be worth knowing. 10 out of 10. Ironic, because I'm like, literally my entire career is about being like a public figure and being like a person who is somewhat well known.

Obviously not that well known, but well known enough, okay? But I couldn't agree more with this sentiment. I think it's fucking true, and I think this is a 10 out of 10 quote. I have nothing else to say about it. It speaks for itself. I have no notes. That is heat right there.

That is really good. Okay, you guys, one more. Like, let's just wrap this up, okay? Honestly, I could do this all day. That is really good. Okay, you guys, one more. Let's just wrap this up, okay? Honestly, I could do this all day. I'm having kind of the best time of my life and I'm realizing we might have to do this again sometime because I am having fun.

All right, last but not least, you can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep rereading the last one. Damn, another banger. Snaps, snaps. It's fucking true. Why do I keep saying the F word? It's so cringe.

Sometimes I like get in the mood to like just say the F word and then I'll have like a month where I don't say any bad words at all. So I don't know why I'm in this phase and I need to cut it off because it's annoying. This is true and I'm somebody who absolutely dwells on the past. But the truth of the matter is like no one cares. No one cares and it only gets in the way of us moving forward and creating a beautiful future. You know what I'm saying? I'm all

about this. I do think it's good to analyze your past to an extent. Like you know, you definitely should reread your last chapter once or twice to hopefully extract some sort of lesson from it. But then after that, like, let it go. I'm somebody who will reread my last chapter for like years and years and years and years. Like, I'll probably be on my fucking deathbed one day, hopefully, as like an old person.

Fuck. See, this is where I had to be on my fucking deathbed one day, hopefully as like an old person. Fuck. See, this is where I had to knock on wood. I'm like scared of jinxing things. Left hand three times. It's just what I do. What was I saying? I'll be on my deathbed. We're knocking on wood again.

Literally like, just recounting like every chapter. Like, I don't know. I'm just, I'm very like, I'm gonna do it again. Literally like, just recounting like every chapter. Like, I don't know, I'm just, I'm very, like, I'm, I'll be like talking about like my cringe streamy award acceptance speech that everybody makes fun of. You know what I mean? Like, I'm definitely somebody who dwells on the past, okay? And so this really hits for me.

Honestly, let's end with a 10 out of 10. I'm gonna give this one a 10 out of 10. I actually do feel inspired. Even though, listen, I was very critical of these quotes and I was because I genuinely have not paid any attention to inspirational quotes in a long time and I wanted to see, you know, like, is there something to gain here?

Absolutely, absolutely. But I do think we need to be critical of the inspirational quotes that we take inspiration from because I do think that a lot of them are bullshit. So be careful. And I think to truly extract value, you kind of have to dig into it. This is fun, honestly.

Like I had so much fun. I'm just gonna start analyzing. Like every time I see an inspirational quote, instead of just scrolling past it like I used to, now I'm genuinely gonna analyze it. Like this is a new hobby of mine. Okay, sorry that I have a new hobby, sorry that I'm developing hobbies. But I do think that there was value here.

Like I feel kind of warm and fuzzy inside after reading some of these. Some of them were horrible, but the good ones really stuck with me and I'm feeling really warm and fuzzy. So I think it's about time that inspirational quotes came back into style. I'm ready and for fuck's sake, I mean, oh God, there I go saying the F word again. I don't know what's going on. I'm cussing like a teenager that just learned like the F word.

I guess you learn cuss words when you're in like middle school, but you get what I mean. Give quotes a chance, but be critical. That's, that's the moral of the story today.
