I love quotes. They are like these little capsules of wisdom crafted by some of the most brilliant minds amongst us.

These are truth bombs, that if applied correctly, it would help you gain a whole new perspective on certain things.

Here are 10 such quotes which I would want to go back to often. I have also elaborated on them, drawing from my personal experiences and tips on how to apply them.

“I am not who you think I am; I am not who I think I am; I am who I think you think I am.” — Thomas Cooley

We spend half our lives worrying about how we are perceived by others. “He must think I am too bold and opinionated,” “She must think I am lazy,” or “He must think I am fat.”

We spend so much time trying to understand what others think of us. And the truth is, we will never know. But that doesn't stop us from creating these opinions about others.

Maybe they don’t see you as fat, lazy, bold, or opinionated.
