It’s been a while since I’ve done a quote of the week. I was going to review the movie “Cake” with Jennifer Aniston here at the blog but when I watched the trailer it looked too depressing. Don’t let the title fool you, it isn’t fluffy and sweet. So, I didn’t go. If you’ve seen the movie let me know your thoughts on it in the comments. Instead today’s post is short & sweet. I want to share this quote:

It might feel like you’re banging your head against the wall, time is standing still, nothing is getting better, no one is listening…but trust in the process. Know that every little thing you do makes a difference in moving forward. It’s not until we look back that we see how far we’ve come and the changes we’ve made in our life.
“Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different…”

February 2, 2015 at 4:09 pmThat is a good quote and see it as a tremendous amount of perspective from person to person too. I’ve been blown away with seeing how much time has flown by. The Life Gods need to find a way to reverse that some day 🙂

January 30, 2015 at 4:10 pmOh wow – I love that quote. Like Kim, sometimes this time of year feels like Groundhog Day to me, and that nothing gets better.. or even worse.
But sometimes there’s little cracks growing, or rather little flowers growing in cracks.
And you look back and WOW.
lisa
January 30, 2015 at 4:58 pmRight. It’s all in the look back where we see what we’ve actually accomplished or overcome. Hope you had a wonderful holiday and I know you’ll share your photos at your blog! 🙂
Kimberly
January 28, 2015 at 5:16 pmYes…I feel like I’ve been living Groundhog Day …. But yes …. You’re right

January 29, 2015 at 10:18 amHi Kim, Groundhog day, exactly! I’ve had full years for feeling that 🙂 Thanks for sharing here!

January 28, 2015 at 10:28 amThat’s really true. You don’t notice it, but the little things add up to make a huge difference.
lisa
January 28, 2015 at 11:39 amThey sure do and it’s a great reminder when we’re feeling like we’re spinning our wheels. Thanks, Sherry! 🙂

January 28, 2015 at 7:35 amI forgot! I nominated you for the Very Inspiring Blogger award! 😀
lisa
January 28, 2015 at 9:32 amOoooh, thank you Chrys! That is so sweet. I really appreciate the nomination 🙂
Chrys Fey
January 28, 2015 at 7:34 amI love that quote! And it’s so true. I always look at the day to day happenings, or even the past couple of months, and feel as though nothing has changed. When I look back years, though, while I see a lot is the same, I know a lot has changed.
lisa
January 28, 2015 at 9:31 amHi Chrys, yes everything seems the same day after day. Then when we look back we gain that perspective and realize the changes we’ve made. Time is a funny thing…

January 27, 2015 at 9:21 pmHi Lisa,
That is the amazing secret of life…it goes on yet we feel stuck in certain moments, we never let go those memories, attachments and pains. We change so much physically and emotionally yet we feel we are the same! Ever looked at your old pictures? it is fun and hours just fly!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful truth, condensed within this quote!
lisa
January 27, 2015 at 11:24 pmHow perfectly expressed, Balroop. Thank you!!
Shelah
January 27, 2015 at 3:15 pmThat happens to me all the time. I look back sometimes to figure out how I got where I am! 🙂
lisa
January 27, 2015 at 5:50 pmHi Shelah, Ha! That’s about it until you realize all you’ve accomplished!

January 27, 2015 at 12:24 pmIt’s funny because I actually used to dwell on the mundane and the everyday because I wasn’t living life to its potential. Now that I found my purpose, everything has changed and each day is never the same. I am a work in progression and I know you are too, Lisa!!
lisa
January 27, 2015 at 5:49 pmThat’s awesome, Gina! Ya, I’m certainly a work in progress. some days just a piece of work. 🙂
