Quotes About Living Life on Your Own Terms

Before we get to the quotes about living life on your own terms, I want to address the meaning of “living life on your own terms. ” What exactly does it mean?

“Sometimes you have to stop thinking so much and just go where your heart takes you.” tinybuddha.com

What Does Living Life on Your Own Terms Mean?

Let me be very clear that living life on your own terms does not mean being selfish.

Living life on your own terms means that you choose a way of living that supports your goals and dreams. You choose to create a meaningful and fulfilled life for you and your loved ones. You are able to lead a balanced life of work and family while also accepting that there may be consequences of others judging you and your choices.

Living life on your own terms goes hand-in-hand with positive selfishness. Being positively selfish — doing that which feeds your soul and enriches your life — produces many positive results. It empowers, re-energizes, and motivates you to keep moving forward toward your best self and your goals.

Furthermore, you will sometimes do things that you don’t want to do (even while living life on your own terms). But you’ll be making a conscious decision to do it — not making it from a place of obligation. This is part of living on your own terms — making conscious choices without resentment or frustration.

For further reading on this topic, I recommend an amazing article by Kate Swoboda from Your Courageous Life. She does a phenomenal job of explaining what “living on your own terms” means and what it does not mean. She also explains the consequences that may arise because of your choice to live life on your own terms.

“There are times when you’ll realize that doing something that you don’t particularly want to do — but doing it for some reason that supports another one of your values — will end up being another expression of living ‘on your own terms.’”

Kate Swoboda

It’s not always about doing what you want to do, or not doing what you don’t want to do. It’s about consciously choosing what you are going to do on your terms based on what’s best for you and your loved ones.

Now let’s move on to these important life quotes! Please note that wherever possible I try to include the accurate name of the author for each quote.

“Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized anyway.” ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

You cannot change the past, no matter how much you want to. But you can build the future you want. You are free to choose what to spend your time on - regretting and worrying about what you cannot change, or building the future you want.

Before a period of clarity and self-confidence begins in life, there will definitely be a “zone of turbulence” - discomfort, restlessness, painful doubts about the correctness of one's own choice. Everyone suffers before change, even those who seem unshakably self-confident to you.

Unfortunately or fortunately, your parents are the only people whose opinion will influence you throughout your life. Their words and opinions will emotionally cling to you for the rest of your life. And you will build your life, either imitating them, or diametrically opposite (“I will never be the same”). Relationships with them are sewn into the subconscious mind too deeply to be easily discarded. But just to understand this is already partly liberated.

Perhaps every person begins the road to a dream by trying to find a short and convenient path. The first thought that comes to mind is “How can I achieve what I want, and so that I don’t have anything for it.” It doesn't work that way. Any path to the goal is long, and it will require some effort from you.
