The motivational drivel that is being fed to us and pushed down our throats by the many lifestyle influencers and gurus everywhere and every day seem to lose their meaning the more you see of them. Even more so after clothing companies decided to write these pearls of wisdom on random t-shirts, while others proudly put theirs on coffee mugs and even smartphone cases.

And they do so in the most unexpected places or at the most unanticipated times, leaving their notes and quotes for us to find in our hour of need. From graffitis in public places to postcards from random strangers, we’ve collected a plethora of good examples on how the real wisdom of life can reach you out of the blue.
So, if you are in need of some life-changing quotes to set your mind straight, scroll down below and check out this list full of random yet absolutely beautiful thoughts on life, people, and love.

#7 A Quote Written By My Aunt Before Her Premature Death
“Life has no smooth road for any of us. As we go down it, we need to remember that happiness is a talent we develop, not an object we seek. It’s the ability to bounce back from life’s inevitable setbacks.
Some people are crushed by misfortune, others grow because of it.”
