15 Powerful Quotes by Dr Joy Browne to inspire you

For anyone unfamiliar with her work, the late Dr Joy Browne was an American psychologist and talk show host who specialized in on-air advice counselling.

She hosted a nationally syndicated call-in radio talk show for several decades, providing advice to callers and words of wisdom to her listeners.

Her shows achieved worldwide reach via podcasts and the Internet.

She had a legion of loyal fans who were devastated when sadly she passed away suddenly in August 2016.

Here are 15 quotes by Dr Joy Browne to illustrate why I believe she was an inspiration.

21 powerful inspirational quotes about education

01/08/2025 by

If you’re looking for some inspirational quotes about education, I have some excellent ones for you today.

Never underestimate the power of learning, dear reader. And it doesn’t have to be done through formal education. It can be just reading books and listening to inspiring people who’ve been there and done it.

Education is an investment in you.

Learning gives us knowledge and skills.

Knowledge and skills provide us with the basis for making a living.

If you’re highly skilled, with skills in short supply, then you have the basis for making a good living. And a good living is the aim for all of us, surely?

However, education and learning are life-long processes.

You must always keep your knowledge and skills current. Times change, and you must change with them.

Your education will always be a work in progress.

For as long as you have the strength to pick up a book, you must proactively expand your knowledge. Do that and I promise you, you won’t regret it.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about education to reinforce today’s message.

21 powerful quotes about not being good enough

01/07/2025 by

Have you ever felt you’re not quite good enough? Not being good enough is something most of us worry about, at least occasionally.

If you have, you’re not alone. Other people may appear to be sailing through life without a care in the world, but you’ll usually find that’s not their reality. No one’s life is perfect.

We all experience that feeling of not being good enough, maybe not all the time but certainly some of the time. We all have that fear of being ‘found out’ occasionally.

And of course, we all need to feel loved and appreciated. We all need to feel that our lives matter to someone. Most people are conscientious, and most of us are keen to please others, especially our parents.

We genuinely want to meet the expectations our parents have of us. However, the bar can be set quite high at times, and inevitably we feel we’ve let them down if our lives don’t meet what we believe their expectations to be.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

The treadmill of other parental expectations:

Parents mean well by having expectations of us, and in many ways those expectations can motivate us to achieve more than perhaps we would have achieved otherwise.

However, those expectations can often be rooted in their own vanity. Rooted in their desire to be able to boast about how well their children are doing in life, relative to other peoples’ kids.

They imagine by doing this they will get a little reflected glory. If their kids are doing well, then they must be great parents, surely? That’s the logic anyway.

Everyone needs a challenge, and we all need goals that will stretch us.

However, if the bar is set too high, it can be damaging when the inevitable failure occurs. At the very least it can knock our confidence. At the other extreme, it can result in longer-term mental health problems.

As individuals, we must endeavour to do our best.

And as long as we’ve done the best we can, then we shouldn’t worry about whether that fulfilled someone else’s expectations of us or not.

We must constantly remind ourselves that we’re as good as anyone and that our lives matter just as much as the next person’s.

You’re as good as anyone:

You are good enough, dear reader, even if you don’t realize it.

You’ll never please everyone, so don’t try.

Just focus on pleasing yourself and being the best version of yourself that you can reasonably be.

Here are 21 thought-provoking quotes about not being good enough to help you reflect on the issue.

Quotes about not being good enough (1-10):

  1. Who hurt you? My own expectations. ~Author Unknown
  2. The way you speak of yourself; the way you degrade yourself; into smallness; this is abuse. ~Rupi Kaur
  3. And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else. ~Mackenzie Astin
  4. Rejection doesn’t mean you aren’t good enough; it means the other person failed to notice what you have to offer. ~Author Unknown
  5. My problem was not, not being good enough, my problem was thinking I had to be. ~Author Unknown
  6. At your absolute best, you still won’t be good enough for the wrong person. ~Author Unknown
  7. The worst thing about that kind of prejudice is that while you feel hurt and angry and all the rest of it, it feeds you self-doubt. You start thinking perhaps I am not good enough. ~Nina Simone
  8. My biggest fear is that I’m not good enough. I have this voice in my head that I’ve been battling for years that says, ‘You’re not really talented enough. You don’t really deserve this.’ ~Rachel Platten
  9. Self-doubt is the anchor that keeps our ships from sailing. ~Author Unknown
  10. Don’t allow someone to make you feel like you’re not good enough. ~Author Unknown
MAKE MONEY MANIA

Quotes about not being good enough (11-15):

  1. All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream. ~Patti LaBelle
  2. Sick of crying, tired of trying, yes I’m smiling but inside I’m dying. ~Author Unknown
  3. It’s not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we’re not good enough, that we must live up to someone else’s standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am. ~Elle Macpherson
  4. Sometimes all you can do is smile. Move on with your day, hold back the tears and pretend you’re okay. ~Author Unknown
  5. Shame is the most powerful, master emotion. It’s the fear that we’re not good enough. ~Brene Brown

Quotes about not being good enough (16-21):

  1. There’s too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin’ to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there’s a feeling of inadequacy or a feeling that you’re not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world. ~Alicia Keys
  2. If your mom asks you to do the dishes, do not pull out your pirate attitude. But if someone tells you you’re not good enough, says your dreams are too lofty, or claims there is no room in showbiz for a dancing violinist – well then, by all means, pull out your eye patch, my friend, and take to the high seas. ~Lindsey Stirling
  3. We’re all different, so even though someone is getting a skill before you, it doesn’t mean that you’re not good enough; it just means you have to wait a little bit, and the skill will come when it comes. ~Laurie Hernandez
  4. And above all things never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning. ~Isaac Asimov
  5. Realize that everyone that you think is perfect feels like they’re not good enough, too. ~Alessia Cara
  6. Models are some of the most insecure people I’ve ever met. They’re constantly being told they’re not good enough. You’ve really got to practice loving yourself. ~Miranda Kerr

30 sharp and funny quotes by George Carlin

01/03/2025 by

Today I thought it would be a good idea to look back at some funny quotes by George Carlin.

The late George Carlin was an American stand-up comedian, actor, philosopher, author, and social critic. He’s probably best known for his sardonic, irreverent wit and his reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various other taboo subjects.

Sadly, George Carlin died on June 28, 2008, in Santa Monica, CA. He was 71 years old.

I loved his irreverent wit, and I thought he was a funny man.

If you’re unfamiliar with his work, then it’s worth checking out some of the many videos of his performances that you’ll find on YouTube.

Here are 30 funny quotes by George Carlin that I’m confident will get you thinking about life, the universe, and everything.

Enjoy them all.

And please, feel free to pass them on.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Funny quotes by George Carlin

I think I am, therefore, I am … I think.

It’s never just a game when you’re winning.

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.

If you try to fail and succeed, which have you done?

Men are from Earth; women are from Earth. Deal with it.

Just when I discovered the meaning of life, they changed it.

When you step on the brakes, your life is in your foot’s hands.

One can never know for sure what a deserted area can look like.

The reason I talk to myself is that I’m the only one whose answers I accept.

A house is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.

‘Bipartisan’ usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.

Some people have no idea what they’re doing, and a lot of them are really good at it.

Just because you got the monkey off your back doesn’t mean the circus has left town.

I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don’t have as many people who believe it.

MAKE MONEY MANIA

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

Isn’t making a smoking section in a restaurant like making a peeing section in a swimming pool?

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

If the Black Box flight recorder is never damaged during a plane crash, why isn’t the whole airplane made out of that stuff?

People who say they don’t care what people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think.

I wanna live. I don’t wanna die. That’s the whole meaning of life: Not dying! I figured that out by myself in the third grade.

If it’s true that our species is alone in the universe, then I’d have to say that the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, ‘Where’s the self-help section?’ She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.

Here’s all you have to know about men and women: women are crazy, and men are stupid. And the main reason women are crazy is that men are stupid.

When I ask how old your toddler is, I don’t need to hear ’27 months.’ ‘He’s 2’ will do just fine. He’s not a cheese. And I didn’t really care in the first place.

Some people see things that are and ask, ‘Why?’ Some people dream of things that never were and ask, ‘Why not?’ Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.

Religion has convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn’t want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you, and he needs money.
