Fav Quote Friday!

I LOVE this quote!! 

"Seek to be worth knowing rather than to be well known"

I think it's pretty normal for people to want to be famous or well known. I know I used to really want to be a famous actress or celebrity, but this quote made me realize that I would so much rather be a person who is worth knowing, than a person who is really well-known.

I know some people from my High School who are currently trying to be famous with their music, modeling, photography, etc. and they honestly have become some of the meanest people I've known because they act like everyone else is beneath them now that their famous or whatever. I know that's not how every famous or well-known person acts, but a lot of the people I've known who are trying to be famous, aren't very nice to other people.. and I think that's because you have to focus a lot on yourself to become famous. 

So how do you become someone who is worth-knowing? I have a few other favorite quotes that answer that question. 

This is another one of my all-time favorite quotes that makes me want to always speak kindly of others and watch what I say about people. Everyone gossips sometimes, it's kind of hard not to, but I love this quote because no one ever wants to be gossiped about, so if we live in such a way that other people would defend us if someone else was talking negatively about us, then we'll be a person who is worth knowing.

Another great quote by the amazing C.S. Lewis. Humility is not putting yourself down or thinking less of yourself, but it's thinking of yourself less. Someone who is worth knowing is selfless. Selflessness not only makes you a person who is worth knowing, but it also makes you happier and more successful in life because if you're thinking more about others, you're not focusing as much on the problems in your own life. 

Another great way to be a person who is worth knowing is to do your best to make sure everyone you talk to/ have a conversation with, leaves you feeling happier and better about themselves and their life. 

My goal in life is to emulate these quotes and be a person who is selfless, loving, compassionate, honest, kind, and ultimately worth knowing.

Happy Friday!
