1. “You may not have chosen your surroundings, but you can choose to find life in them.”
We are born into a world without a choice, but Morgan says that we can enjoy and have a happy life in our surroundings, both good and bad.
2. “You are worthy of love no matter how anyone else has made you feel.”
Despite what others may think or have ever done to you, Morgan emphasizes the value of self-love and the need to constantly remind yourself that you deserve all the love in the world.
3. “Don’t give up on love. Love has not given up on you.”
Morgan urges us in this quote to never give up on love, even when feeling down, as love never ends and you do not need other people to love you; loving yourself is enough.
4. “What if all the imperfections and the flaws were only part of your story-not, the sum of who you are.”
The singer talks about judging in this quote since other people only see their flaws and imperfections, not their positive qualities. However, imperfections make us human, and without flaws, there would be no lessons to be learned.
5. “But no matter who stays or walks away, remember all the things they taught you.”
In this statement, Morgan emphasizes the importance of never forgetting the lessons we’ve learned from our relationships since they help us avoid making the same mistakes twice by teaching us to view mistakes as opportunities to improve instead of repeating them.
6. “In a world that often seems too crowded or busy to notice beautiful things or make meaningful connections, there is still room for each of us to grow in the ways we were meant to.”
In this quote, Morgan refers to a world that has become hectic and where people frequently overlook and undervalue the lovely details all around them. There is still time in our busy schedules for each of us to develop in our unique ways and flourish.
7. “Not everyone is capable of walking with you, but that does not mean you are not worthy of belonging.”
This quote claims that not everyone belongs to walk alongside you because not everyone has the same values, and every individual deserves to receive what they give. However, this does not imply that you are unworthy or should be left alone. Instead, Morgan wants to convey that each person should know their own worth and where they belong and who they should be with.
8. “And the thing about blooming is, nothing about the process is easy.”
The quote refers to the process of blooming, which implies that a person blossoms in happiness but that the stages they go through are not simple. However, it illustrates that a flower blooms even in a world of suffering and grief, but at its own pace, demonstrating that it is acceptable for people to take time to blossom.
9. “Step into the unknown and learn as you go.”
In this quotation, Morgan is referring to the idea that one should not stick to the past but rather experience strange new things and learn along the way because life is a never-ending learning process.
10. “Even the dull moments that make you long to be elsewhere, will prepare you for where you want to be, and you will have gratitude when you arrive there.”
The author is talking about the times in life when not everything is happy and right; these times help us prepare for the places we hope to go in the future. We should be thankful for both the good and unpleasant things in our lives since they have all contributed to the person we are today.
11. “Even when there are a thousand things to do, cherish these unrushed moments. Make room in your heart for them. There will be many mountains to climb, but always make time to find the pastures where you can rest.”
According to this quote, even when we are swamped and have an endless list of things to do, we should always cherish the unhurried moments. This means that even during the busiest times, make time for yourself, enjoy yourself, and frequently rest because rest is just as important as working hard.
12. “No matter how long these late nights last, the sun is on the way with mercy in the morning.”
Through this quotation, Morgan is trying to convey the idea that even after the darkest night, the sun will rise, signifying that good times will come even after difficult ones, and success will even follow a significant failure.

According to this saying, people must endure their most difficult circumstances since doing so will enable them to grow and shine through them, just as gold and silver are refined in a furnace of fire.
14. “So take photographs of everything:
ordinary things,
simple things,
between the door
and by the window things.
Light-ridden and shadow-heavy things.
Forever things.
Fleeting things.
Take photographs of everything.”
In this quotation, it is encouraged to take pictures of everything you see, including the most ordinary objects, because pictures serve as reminders of the past and as a ticket to a moment that would otherwise have passed and could not be recreated.
15. “Not everyone will notice how you shine, but you shine all the same in beautiful, natural ways.”
Morgan wants to convey the idea that even if you are doing something extraordinary, not everyone needs to notice how you shine. However, this does not mean that you will not shine in the same way if you go unnoticed, meaning that one should never stop doing their part in their lives because of others; we do not need people to reassure us that we are deserving.
16. “You will rise, anyway.”
According to this saying, you will overcome your problems and shine regardless of whether others like you. It serves as a reminder to never doubt your abilities because self-doubt is the greatest obstacle to success. It is crucial to have self-assurance because the only thing that matters in life is how you perceive yourself, and if you believe in yourself, you can achieve anything worthwhile.
17. “When you start to feel like things should have been better this year, remember the mountains and valleys that got you here.”
This quote suggests that you should remind yourself of your accomplishments and the sacrifices you made to get where you are when you start to feel that you might have been or should have done things differently.
18. “Maybe this heart that longs for something more is being prepared for something much greater than you.”
Over time, life has a way of improving. Remember that even if your heart is hurting, it is a building block for something far more significant than you.
19. “The sun is still shining, the wind is still blowing, and out in the wild, you are growing.”
The quote states that whatever you are dealing with, the world doesn’t stop for you. Time is still moving, the sun is shining, and the breeze is blowing. There is no time to pause. Continue evolving and moving forward.
20. “While trying to make sense of things, may we learn to make peace with things.”
Morgan, in this quote, wants to say that not everything in life seems to make sense, but we must continue to develop and learn many new things along the road. Let us remain at peace with whatever we encounter, even while we struggle with life.
21. “Take heart, gentle soul, you may not be like the rest of them, but you are still whole.”
Through this quote, a writer wants to say that sometimes we dislike ourselves as life attacks us with challenges, and we eventually feel empty inside. Still, we should never forget that no matter what, learn to accept and love yourself for who you are. Your flaws are as much a part of who you are.
22. “There is more to life, and there is more to you.”
You are far more capable than you may think, so hold on and have faith in yourself that everything will be alright, Morgan tells us in this saying. Life is more than only difficult times; one should not concentrate solely on those.
23. “Living in the moment is learning how to live between the big moments. It is learning how to make the most of the in-betweens.”
Through this quote, Morgan states that there are other things besides significant events in life. It’s the little, tiny details that give it beauty, and we must gain the ability to appreciate and hold onto those great times fully.
24. “You are breathing, and you are living. You are wrapped in endless, boundless grace. And things will get better. There is more to you than yesterday.”
According to the phrase, the only blessing you have is that you are still alive, breathing, and healthy. Therefore, even if things seem hopeless, they will ultimately get better. You must think that you are more than just your past mistakes.
25. “Beautiful things take time.”
Beautiful things take time, and it is always worth the wait as the foundation is not built overnight. It is to believe that everything will come together, maybe not in one day but eventually. One should never lose hope as good things come to those who believe, better things come to those who are patient, and the best things come to those who don’t give up.
26. “May you always be the one, who notices the little things that make the light pour through, and may they always remind you: There is more to life and there is more to you.”
Small has replaced large. Our habits consist of many small activities. Our thoughts are made up of many tiny words. Our attitude and behavior are made up of small actions. Over time, small things develop and become more effective. The minor details we miss lead to the major ones.
27. “You may not have chosen your surroundings, but you can choose to find life in them.”
No matter who you are, what you’ve done, or where you’re going, you deserve to be happy, if you take the time to look closely. Just for being alive, you deserve to be happy. Permit yourself to enjoy and feel at peace right now.
28. “She no longer had the desire to bend herself into the frame of photographs where she was unwelcome”
The majority of individuals encounter the term respect frequently during their lives, yet many are unaware of its significance. Respect is a feeling of admiration or greatness for another individual. There are some things in life that you must respect. Self-respect and respect for others
29. “Even though you have learned the skill of running on empty, now is the time to learn the art of breathing deep all over again,”
Living a happy life requires loving yourself. Life responds to you in a way that is consistent with your unconditional love for all that you are. You may create a joyful, loving atmosphere for yourself to thrive in when you learn to love yourself completely. When we lose focus on what’s most crucial—loving ourselves—we lose focus on our objectives, aspirations, and ability to be joyful and healthy.
30. “For out here, in the wild, you are agile, walking through your own uncertainty. And that, dear friend, takes bravery.”
Success requires a lot of effort. And even if you’re performing all the labor-intensive work, you can discover that there is satisfaction in a job well done. But keep in mind that you must rely on others, so be sure to associate with people that have the same work ethic as you.
