1. We have many reasons to hope for great happiness, but… we have to earn it. And that’s something you can’t achieve by taking the easy way out.
Earning happiness means doing good and working, not speculating, and being lazy. Laziness may look inviting, but only work gives you true satisfaction.”
Today people speak a lot about the pathway to success, but the young and intelligent Anne has said it so well.
Happiness is not one easy and fun-filled destination, but a paramount that you achieve winning over your laziness.
Especially if your work is not easily noticed or appreciated, it becomes difficult to push yourself out of that laziness that outweighs your determination. If you believe your work gives you true satisfaction, then someday you got to be there what others acknowledge as success.
2.“There’s only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and forget everybody else! It sounds egotistical, but it’s the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.”
Self-pity is an uncurable condition unless you have the strength to laugh at all that pushes you to think you are helpless. The inevitably unyielding situation we are in offers us the power to accept, understand and ease with it.
3. I imagine how anyone can say: “I’m weak,” and then remain so. After all, if you know it, why not fight against it, why not try to train your character? The answer was: “Because it’s so much easier not to!
Nobody is born with the inability to outgrow their weakness. The only reason for not taking action is that you get comfortable living with it.
Fighting against your weakness is doable only when you are ready and persistent to overcome your problems with your corrective action. Nobody but yourself could come to the rescue.
4.“Women should be respected as well! Generally speaking, men are held in great esteem in all parts of the world, so why shouldn’t women have their share? Soldiers and war heroes are honored and commemorated, explorers are granted immortal fame, and martyrs are revered, but how many people look upon women too as soldiers?… Women, who struggle and suffer pain to ensure the continuation of the human race, make much tougher and more courageous soldiers than all those big-mouthed freedom-fighting heroes put together!”
Respecting women and treating them equally human is the foundation of the longest journey that we are slowly embarking towards that millennials term as women empowerment. Because the moment of realization that women are as humane as men with their set of thoughts, aspirations, needs, and emotions makes it easier to understand that life becomes better when both men and women understand the importance of each other.
5. Whenever you’re feeling lonely or sad, try going to the loft on a beautiful day and looking outside. Not at the houses and the rooftops, but at the sky. As long as you can look fearlessly at the sky, you’ll know that you’re pure within and will find happiness once more.”
When a person is alone, or sad, the search for a better self begins. Nature helps you find ways to retrieve happy thoughts and emotions that get you near your better self.
Your life and its opportunities are vast as the sky. To look at the sky and to experience thy self is one way to fill yourself with joy and bliss once again despite the hard days you went through.
6. “A person who’s happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery!”
Happiness is a trait you can find in people who are happy and take up every opportunity to spread it to the world around them. The strength to spread happiness comes from a person who can pursue life with a hopeful perspective beyond the stones that life throws at them.
7. When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, and my spirits are revived! But, and that’s a big question, will I ever be able to write something great, will I ever become a journalist or a writer?
When your sorrow disappears, your spirit revives while doing what your heart perceives as your purpose. You would one day be great at your work.
Anne, herself stands as proof when the immortal words she wrote many decades ago spark inspiration and strength even today.
8.“Where there’s hope, there’s life. It fills us with fresh courage and makes us strong again.”
There are numerous circumstances in which our hope gets slashed by self-doubt. But the best part of hope is it fills your heart with the willpower to live beyond sadness, and failures, so you experience happiness and success eventually.
9.“The weak shall fall, and the strong shall survive and not be defeated!
The world is always for the strong. But it is also for the weak who believe and take action to become stronger and undefeatable.
10.“What’s done can’t be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.”
Regret gives a lesson but eats up the present and makes us worry about our mistakes. The understanding and awareness of what went wrong give the experience to do it right the next time.
11. Sometimes I’m so deeply buried under self-reproaches that I long for a word of comfort to help me dig myself out again.”
Even though, as human beings, we know appreciation from others and, the amount of motivation we get from it is temporary, we all seek words of appreciation to make us feel better.
12. “I want to go on living even after my death!”
Your words, your work, and the people you gave happiness, courage, and inspiration to are impressions you leave behind that give you the ability to live even after your death.
13. How noble and good everyone could be if, at the end of each day, they were to review their behavior and weigh up the rights and wrongs. They would automatically try to do better at the start of each new day and, after a while, would certainly accomplish a great deal. Everyone is welcome to this prescription; it costs nothing and is useful.
How incredible this should be. Getting a chance to correct the words we spoke, and the actions we did at the end of each day. No regrets and no worries. A new day means nothing less than living it to the fullest. Mindfulness and living in the present become easily doable.
14. It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams, and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, despite everything, that people are truly good at heart.”
Hope is a word that adds little positivity in the darkest of days. To believe in people beyond the pain of being hurt is the act of the most courageous people who are not ready to give up on the fact that there remains goodness in every human being, which makes the world a better place.
15. Paper is more patient than man.”
Writing gives the solace of speaking with a friend, time for self-reflection, and a place to put all your thoughts and experiences together to help the betterment of yourself and the world around you.
16. I have one outstanding character trait that must be obvious to anyone who’s known me for any length of time: I have a great deal of self-knowledge. In everything I do, I can watch myself as if I were a stranger. I can stand across from the everyday Anne and, without being biased or making excuses, watch what she’s doing, both the good and the bad. This self-awareness never leaves me, and every time I open my mouth, I think, “You should have said that differently” or “That’s fine the way it is.” I condemn myself in so many ways that I’m beginning to realize the truth of Father’s adage: “Every child has to raise itself.” Parents can only advise their children or point them in the right direction. Ultimately, people shape their own characters.
To understand ourselves by self-introspecting sounds like a zen technique, but it is a quality we all have naturally. But most of the time, what makes it hard is we believe we are always correct or justify our actions.
