Good Vibes
"How silly of me to forget that I am the love of my life.”
The power of positivity cannot be overstated. A scroll through TikTok will provide endless manifestation methods to raise your vibes and live your best life, but the root of each technique always comes down to the same thing: harnessing positivity and joy. Words hold the same magic — it’s called spelling, after all — and those you say, read, write, and hear can have a profound impact. You can infuse your life with positive vibe quotes in order feel inspired and motivated.
In the same way daily affirmations and mantras boost you into a more elevated state, quotes that inspire positivity in you can help turn you into a magnet for goodness (and speed up your manifestations).
“Joy is the highest vibration in the known universe,” Amy Leigh Mercree, a medical intuitive and bestselling author tells Bustle, “Its energy raises our vibration.”
When we’re feeling those good vibes, it creates a snowball effect, influencing multiple areas of life. “These include improved feelings of wellbeing, as well as the ability to manifest whatever we desire, including prosperity and happiness,” Mercree says. “You are the architect of your reality. Craft one with joy, harmony, pleasure, and ease, and life will expand into bliss.”
To call in some holistic cheer, here are some of the best positive vibes quotes to inspire you and attract more joy.
“The same light you see in others is shining within you, too.” - Morgan Harper Nichols
We’re all little sparks of the universe, so if one person is dazzling in a way you admire, know that you have that same twinkle inside yourself too. You are just as capable of doing great things as the person you’re comparing yourself to.
“Know your magic, trust your magic, use your magic, and know that you are a manifestation of life’s magic.” - Rasheed Ogunlaru
Just as the light in others is also in you, Ogunlaru’s words are vibing with the same energy. You are magical, just as those around you are, so use it!
“Joy is not in things; it is in us.” - Richard Wagner
As Mercree can attest, inner joy attracts more joy. The idea also relates to a major manifestation principle: If you’re trying to manifest a vacation, do you want the experience of sightseeing? Or is it the feeling it’ll bring you? In this case, everything comes down to how you feel, not the physical thing itself.
“Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” —John Wooden
The same idea goes here. When you’re manifesting success, it’s really the feeling, or as this quote says, the peace of mind, that you’re manifesting.
“And suddenly, all the good things started chasing me.” - Wild Faith
If you’re on manifestation TikTok, you’ve probably seen the viral mantra, “I don’t chase, I attract.” Well, here’s what happens when you embody that affirmation, your desires start chasing you.
"If you look for the good things in life, you will find them. If you look for opportunities to grow and prosper, you will find them. If you look for positive, enthusiastic friends and associates who will support you, you will find them." - Zig Ziglar
The thoughts that are taking up the majority of your headspace are going to influence the reality that you see. If your mind is full of gratitude and love, you’re going to see more things to be grateful for and more love coming into your life.
“Most people are thinking about what they don’t want, and they’re wondering why it shows up over and over again.” - John Assaraf
Just as positive thoughts can influence more positivity in your reality, the reverse is also true. For example, if you’re constantly worrying about getting a flat tire, the signal you’re putting out and will be likely to see is, you guessed it, “flat tire” — it’s the basis of manifestation.
"Be pleasant until 10 o'clock in the morning, and the rest of the day will take care of itself." - Elbert Hubbard
The energy you immerse yourself in when you first wake up and start your morning will set the tone for the rest of your day. That’s why morning meditation practices go so far in creating positive energy for not just your first few hours, but your whole day, your week, and essentially, your life overall.
As you think, you travel, and as you love, you attract.” - Zen proverb
They don’t say reading is the cheapest way to travel for nothing. When you cast your thoughts out somewhere, you’re sending a part of you out, hence, the traveling. And as love is one of the highest vibrations you can feel, the manifestation gurus will attest that it’s a recipe for attracting more love and positive vibes.
“When you visualize, then you materialize. If you’ve been there in the mind, you’ll go there in the body.” - Dr. Denis Waitley
It’s easier to picture a place you’ve been than one you haven’t, but when you visualize, you are, in a sense, “going” there. The more you do this, the more familiar you become with this place. It becomes normal for you and not such an out-of-reach idea, making it easier to materialize in the 3D.
“Everyone visualizes whether he knows it or not. Visualizing is the great secret of success.” - Genevieve Behrend
In other words, you’re always manifesting something, regardless of if it’s intentional. The key is to take your thoughts and make them a conscious, intentional process so what materializes does so on purpose.
"Good vibes are nature's way of telling you that you're in the right place or with the right person." - Bruce H. Lipton
That’s your intuition talking. Feeling positive vibes is your gut feeling or sixth sense indicating you’re OK and on the right path.
“The only limits that exist are the ones in your mind.” - Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich
The mind is such a strong and strange and powerful thing. If you think you can’t you probably won’t bother trying and therefore you’ve created a self-fulfilling prophecy.
“Change your thoughts and you change your world.” - Norman Vincent Peale
You’re the architect of your own reality, and it all starts with your mind. “Joy helps us to infuse our body, mind, and spirit with positive energy,” Mercree says, “We can activate the power of positivity by repeating the word joy in our minds(or aloud) like a mantra. When you do this you can feel the energy of joy elevating around you raising higher and higher.”
"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." - the Dalai Lama XIV
You create or attract happiness in your life by first taking control of your mindset.
"The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life." - Roy T. Bennett
Just as nutritious foods bring more energy and health to your body, positivity does the same for your mind, and in turn, your reality.
“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” - Oprah Winfrey
Oprah offers the same sentiment here and as she’s basically the human embodiment of the law of attraction, any vibey quote by her should be taken as a universal truth.
"Good vibes are like waves on a lake. As you drop your stone into the water, they will multiply and recreate infinity of good vibes coming back to you at fast rate." - Isabelle Esling
As Mercree put it, joy is the highest vibe. So imagine a little drop of joy plopping into the lake and then coming back to you in exponential waves.
"Miracles happen to those who believe in them." - Bernard Berenson
It’s all mindset. You can bet the most successful manifestors out there wholeheartedly believe in miracles.
“There is always something left to love.” - Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude
When you’re at an extreme low, seeing the positives in things can become quite difficult. This quote serves as a great reminder that there are always at least the smallest of things to cherish and be grateful for. Whether that’s something as simple as the air you breathe or the water you drink — pick something and allow yourself to feel the most gratitude possible for that one thing and you’ll already be on your way up.
“The more you count your blessings, the more blessings you will have to count.” - Vex King, Good Vibes, Good Life
Speaking of gratitude, this explains why so many people swear by gratitude journaling. Having a gratitude practice where you’re acknowledging both the small and bigger things helps you notice and be more aware of all the little blessings that happen every single day, and ultimately feel all the more grateful for them.
“Take note of the little things that sing: there is still room to find gratitude right here.” - Morgan Harper Nichols
Here’s another positive quote on gratitude because it doesn’t get much higher vibes than being grateful. And this one serves as a reminder and an example of one of those little things that you may not usually ever pay notice to, but are worth acknowledgment.
“What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” - Rhonda Byrne, The Secret
It’s manifesting 101. Your thoughts become your reality, so strive for thoughts of joy, as Mercree suggests.
“The past has no power over the present moment.” — Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now
If you deal with a lot of stress and anxiety, this one is a hugely helpful reminder. What’s done is done and what hasn’t happened yet, well, hasn’t happened. So focus on what you can do now.
“A flower blossoms for its own joy.” - Oscar Wilde
When you’re not channeling your inner flower, it’s easy to concern yourself with things like how quickly and beautifully the other flowers around you are blooming. But flowers don’t concern themselves with such things, and neither should you.
“Our talents are gifts from the universe, to the universe.” - Natalia Beshqoy, If Stars Could Speak
In other words, the energy you give is the energy you receive. It all comes back around.
“If you were born with the weakness to fall, you were born with the strength to rise.” - Rupi Kaur
It’s called balance. Next time you feel like you’ve failed, change your context by remembering this quote because mindset will take you further than you think.
“With change comes the chance to falling love with yourself again.” - Gemma Troy
Change is hard, but getting stuck in monotony is harder. It may be scary at first, but with change comes growth and you might just like who you grow into even more.
“As you move through the day, may you know it’s OK to create a little space, to let this day be what it needs to be and however you can, create room to simply breathe.” - Morgan Harper Nichols
The pace of life these days doesn’t exactly lend itself to slowing down and connecting with yourself. Thanks to hustle culture, it constantly feels like you have to be doing this and that all the time. But that’s simply not sustainable or healthy, so take this as a reminder to slow down and connect with yourself. Let it go and let it flow.
“Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you. Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion. Set your life on fire.” - Rumi
How about knowing the entire universe is on your side for little boost of positive vibes? This quote is not only comforting, but motivating to take action on your dream life.
“Tell yourself how wonderful you are, how great you are. Tell yourself how much you love yourself.” —Don Miguel Ruiz
Positive affirmations go so incredibly far when it comes to manifesting and just being more joyful in general.
“Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson’s vibey quote can also serve as a positive affirmation to tell yourself daily. Go into each day like it’s your best day ever, and it just might play out that way.
"Your imagination is your preview of life's coming attractions." - Albert Einstein
Einstein was way ahead of his time. Given what he clearly knows about positive vibes and the law of attraction, he may just have been an OG manifestation girlie.
"The universe doesn't give you what you ask for with your thoughts — it gives you what you demand with your actions."- Steve Maraboli
One of the biggest manifestation tips the pros will tell you is about the law of action. There are actually 12 universal laws (there’s more than just the law of attraction!) that are what spiritual manifestation coach Latha Jay calls the guidelines of manifesting. The law of action, she says, is the most important of the 12. “It's the missing piece in most people's manifestation efforts,” she tells Bustle. “Action is the catalyst for the change. The law of action says that you have to take steps towards your goals for them to manifest into reality.”
“Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality.” - Earl Nightingale
Your subconscious mind is a major player when it comes to manifestating — like, even bigger than your conscious mind. It’s all the little beliefs that you may not even be aware of and could be picking up from your environment — which is why it’s so important to surround yourself with positive vibes! Maybe you have a particularly supportive co-worker who is constantly telling you you’re going to be a famous singer. Your conscious mind might think that’s unrealistic, but the repetition of being told so could plant the idea that it is quite realistic for you.
"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle." - Christian D. Larson
The power of positivity and belief is essentially all you need to get to the other side of anything that may stand in your way. Believe you can and the hard part is out of the way.
“Thoughts become things. If you see it in your mind, you will hold it in your hand.” – Bob Proctor
This positive vibe quote by Bob Proctor is one of the most frequented in the manifestation world. It’s plain to see why as his words are a pretty straightforward description of how manifesting works.
“The entire universe is conspiring to give you everything that you want.” - Abraham Hicks
Abraham Hicks is to positive vibes quotes what Taylor Swift is to crafty song lyrics — the supply is endless. He is essentially manifestation’s Miss Americana.
