Living
our daily lives can be as easy as taking in a breath of air or as hard as
climbing a mountain’s summit. There are things that can bring us down and lift
us up. Even our own family can fill us up with anger or enlighten us with joy
and happiness. Regardless of what stature you have in life, you will always
need someone, something, or anything that can help you get through each day.
Some people find relief in God, family, companions, dreams and ambitions. Living
a fruitful life is living it with meaning. Finding that meaning can be a lifelong
journey and along the way you may need words of wisdom that will guide you
through the right path. Words that will let you overcome the struggles that
come along with what life has to offer us. Life is always unfair. Some are rich
while some seek desperate means just to last throughout the day. If you're
lucky enough to be given the fate of a wonderful life, be thankful for it. If
in any case fate has dealt you with a cruel hand, do no falter. Life is a mixed
bag. One that’s filled with many surprises. Today may be rough but tomorrow
remains a mystery until you do something today to change what lies ahead. Make
each day worth living for the next.
These 101 days of motivation will let you in on some of the most inspirational tips that will help you fire
up each day.
Motivational Tips on Listening
1. “Wisdom is the ultimate reward you reap for a
lifetime of listening rather than be the one uttering words” – Sometimes
it’s better to keep your mouth

respect.

friends and companions are those who excel at listening” – If you often
hear out what people have in
their minds, you are likely to win them as your lifelong friends.

word. Not everyone was given the gift of listening” – Be among the one
to stand out in a deaf crowd.
Listen to words that no one else would
care
to hear.
11. “When you listen, do it for the sake of
understanding and not just to build a reply” – Conflicts get fueled when

their emotions than to seek wisdom.

to lend an ear” – If your friends are real, they will not hesitate to
hear you out.

well” – no matter how intimate a conversation is, it will never end up
good without lending an ear with one another.

fully listening at all” – people can only do so much but not listen
eagerly while at the same time
doing something.
15. “The reason why we were given a pair of ears
and just one tongue is so we could listen more than we could talk” – it
may sound like an irrational way
to defend talking too much over listening but it definitely gives us the big picture.

and storytelling” – if you want to communicate better with someone or a fair number of people, tell them
a story that they’ll never forget.

tales end up in wonderful stories as well” – If a man preaches good

The best way to simplify it is in the form of stories” – this goes
especially to those people who
have children. The larger concepts in life can be made simple simply by telling someone a story which is far easier
for minds to digest.
21. “Keeping stories in mind leaves lifelong
memories. Sharing those stories make them last forever” – should you
wish to have your stories
remembered more than just how long your life can last, tell them and share them with everyone.
22. “If you’re telling a story, pick a big one or
don’t tell one at all!” – The stories we tell bring meaning and
inspiration to those around us.
Tell everyone a grand story rather than something nobody would care to miss.
23. “The meaning of stories unravel without
creating the blunder of defining it yourself” – there are instances
where people have different
viewpoints to each opinion but storytelling tells otherwise. It gives meaning without creating uncertainty and
doubt.

ancestors stories. Those stories are the reasons why we exist in this world today”

altogether.

who tell stories rule the world” – this true. Individuals who express themselves through stories become
leaders and great people in history.

a story within your head” – leaving a legacy need not be all action. It
must also be through the stories
that you have shared all your life. There is no greater relief than telling your stories than keeping them to
your grave.
27. “Stories bring people to world unknown and
things unheard” – storytelling not only conveys your thoughts but also sparks the interest in many and

truth once they begin to see it in you.

existence but do not falter. Instead, become the brighter star and outshine
them all” – when people persecute you, it is often because they are

later on be more than anybody else.

Life is beautiful and so are you. There’s no reason not to let the world know
who you are.

see you but by how you show others” – the truth is, people will continue
to believe whatever they see and
whatever you do, be sure it truthfully signifies
your true self.

likely to think negatively of
something that is purely positive.

cause” – when we see truth, it unfolds immediately without trace of

that surrounds him.

more you could be.
