My 24 Favorite Quotes From “The 5 AM Club” By Robin Sharma

Hello! Recently I’ve read a great book “The 5 AM Club” written by Robin Sharma and I’m delighted to share my favorite quotes with you.

“Do not live as if you have ten thousand years left. Your fate hangs over you. While you are still living, while you still exist on this Earth, strive to become a genuinely great person”

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinion drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want.”

Steve Jobs

“Mauritius was made first, and then heaven; and heaven copied Mauritius”

Mark Twain

“It is well to be up before daybreak, for such habits contribute to health, wealth and wisdom”.

Aristotle

“The men who are great live with that which is substantial, they do not stay with that which is superficial; they abide with realities, they remain not with what is showy. The one they discard, the other they hold.”

Lao Tzu

“The life given us, by nature is short, but the memory of a well-spent life is eternal”

Cicero

“The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart”

Helen Keller

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”

Dale Carnegie

“I hated every minute of training. But I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’”

Muhammad Ali

“It matters not how strait the gate,

How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.”

English poet William Ernest Henley

“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

George Bernard Shaw

“Early in the morning, when you are reluctant in your laziness to get up, let this thought be at hand: ‘I am rising to do the work of a human being.’”

Marcus Aurelius, Roman emperor

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

Mark Twain

“One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself”

Leonardo da Vinci

“The early morning has gold in its mouth. Rise First. Die Last.”

Benjamin Franklin

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Mahatma Gandhi

“If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.”

A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh

“Everyone dreams of being a legend until it comes time to do the work that legends do.”

“The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.”

Thomas Edison

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment. You do something all day long, don’t you? Everyone does. If you get up at seven o’clock and go to bed at eleven, you have put in sixteen good hours, and it is certain with most men, that they have been doing something all the time. The only trouble is that they do it about a great many things and I do it about one. If they took the time in question and applied it in one direction, to one object, they would succeed.”

Thomas Edison

“With freedom, books, flowers, and the moon, who could not be happy?”

Oscar Wilde

“Dream big. Start small. Begin now.”

“Live like a hero. That’s what the classics teach us. Be a main character. Otherwise what is life for?”

J. M. Coetzee

“Suffering can either embitter us or ennoble us.”

Archbishop Desmond Tutu

My Top-14 Motivational Quotes (‘The Secret’)

Hi! In today’s post, I’d like to share my top-14 motivational quotes from an inspirational movie that I’ve just seen, The Secret.

Whatever it is you are feeling is a perfect reflection of what is in the process of becoming.

What you think and what you feel and what manifests is always a match.

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.” Dr Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)

“Whatever the mind of man can conceive, it can achieve.” W. Clement Stone (1902-2002)

When you have inspired thought you have to trust it and you have to act on it.

You are the only one who creates your reality.

“What you resist persists.” Carl Jung (1875-1961)

Top-10 Things That Will Make You Happier, Or How I Deal With Anxiety And Depression

Hello, my dear readers! I’m so happy to have you here! Welcome to The Glamorous Muse! I hope you all are doing great. Unfortunately, life is not always flawless. Sometimes I feel frustrated, anxious, devastated, or even depressed. This happened to me just a few days ago when I suddenly felt so sad. In this post, I’ve decided to share with you my favorite things that help me in such situations and definitely will make you happier too.

1. Good sleep is a necessity. You must sleep well to feel good. If you can make it 7-8 hours each day, it will be great for your health and well-being. Sometimes I sleep more if I need.

2. A good diet is important to feel good and to look good. Try to say ‘no’ to alcohol, caffeine, and sugar. I would also recommend to stop eating animal products and to learn more about vegan or plant-based lifestyle.

3. Exercise daily. It helps to raise the level of serotonin, which will help you feel happier all the time. I prefer to exercise in the morning, as it’s easier to make time and it really boosts my energy level. There are a lot of great workouts online, so no excuses 🙂 You can choose between fitness, Pilates, yoga, dancing, stretching, ballet or put on your favorite sneakers and go outside for a run or just walk. I love to play my favorite Latin music, and I also dance before I workout. Don’t forget to do some stretching before and after 🙂 You can take a contrast shower or relax in the bath with foam and candles 🙂

‘Just staying healthy, that is true wealth and true happiness.’ – Jon Jones

4. Visit a beauty salon or make it at home 🙂 I always feel so good after taking care of myself, it can be a scrubbing, massage, face mask, wrap (my favorite is with seaweed or cacao), manicure, pedicure.

5. Watch your favorite comedy or funny TV show and laugh a lot 🙂 It will surely help you to feel much better.

6. Spend time with your loved ones. It can be your sister, brother, cousin, parents, grandparents, friends or boyfriend, or children. I always sense a lot of love and happiness while being with my family or friends. It’s cool if they are near, if not, just video call or message them.

‘There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved’ – George Sand.

7. Help others. Help your mum to carry heavy bags, cook dinner for your family, say kind words, greet people, smile at them, or just listen. Sometimes by listening to the problems of others, you forget your own.

8. Travel anywhere, even just to the closest city. You will see a different place, meet different people and have new adventures. It’s always nice to explore. Don’t be scared to go alone, but be mindful. You can get some inspiration by reading a post about my solo travel to Cuba. I also like arranging a trip to my dream destination, you will feel so inspired 🙂

9. Dream and visualize! Think about what you would like to do or how you would like to look and imagine it 🙂 Make up new goals and write them down, read them often, and believe it’s your reality.

10. Just do something! Put on makeup, do a new hairstyle, go shopping, do a photoshoot, spend time in nature, read a book or quotes, listen to motivational speech, find a new hobby, learn a new language, or how to play an instrument, make a new recipe, challenge yourself, spend time with animals, meet your friends, go together to a party, play some sports outside… There are so many things to do, be creative 🙂

‘You are the one that possesses the keys to your being. You carry the passport to your own happiness.’ – Diane von Furstenberg

Those were the top-10 things that make me happy, and hopefully, they will help you too 🙂

Thanks to everyone who reads and likes my posts, and big thanks for following The Glamorous Muse!😘

23. ‘Fashion becomes unfashionable. Style never.’ – Coco Chanel

24. ‘All a woman needs to be chic is a raincoat, two suits, a pair of trousers and a cashmere sweater.’ – Hubert de Givenchy
