Aesthetic Quotes that Will Center You for the Day
Aesthetic quotes are deep, laced with underlying meanings, and encourage us to look within for courage & strength. Read our curated aesthetic quotes here.
Aesthetic quotes have been around for years; however, it is surprising how little there is about them online. In fact, we see many quotes tagged as aesthetic but are certainly not so.
So, what are aesthetic quotes?
Aesthetic quotes are deep, laced with underlying meanings that are subtle and almost always positive. These quotes encourage looking within for courage and strength, talk about self-love, and are stoic in nature. They are not sad, love, cute quotes and are certainly not about art or the looks of things.
These quotes have gained popularity with Tumblr and Instagram as captions to nature photos and selfies. They are especially popular with solid color backgrounds like blue, pink, red, and yellow. They also make great wallpapers on the phone and the desktop.

We often try to emulate someone else. While looking at others for inspiration is good, just trying to be someone else altogether leads to frustration and failure.

Everyone else is already taken. Be the best you. Be you.

We are often so disappointed by failure despite our best efforts that we overlook the efforts. Rather than being appreciative of our efforts, we often just focus on what we have not achieved. Do yourself a favor today. Look back to all those times you've failed. And just look at the amount of hard work you've done. Be proud of your hard work. Be proud of yourself for doing it.
Have you ever thought about it in this way? You are the most important project you will work on. Everything you do to work on yourself will directly impact everything else you do. What can be more important than that?
