Share an inspirational quote

[AGrace]

Hi All,

Just wanted to share a quote with you that someone shared with me a little while ago. It's certainly helped me see brighter days at times.

You are a person

You are not only your pain

You are not only scars and wounds;

You are also better things.

You are possibility and promise,

Hope and healing and daydreams.

You are favourite books and favourite songs.

You are the people you love, and the people who love you.

You are HOPE and CHANGE

and things worth fighting for.

This is your story

And your story isn't over.

(Jamie Tworkowski)

Hi Magichope,

Welcome to the forums. I was just about to add a couple of new quotes and saw your post. It's great to have you with us.

"Yesterday I was clever so I wanted to change the world, today I am wise so I am changing myself."

"S/he decided to start living the life s/he imagined."

My sister sent these (as cards to frame) over from London, sorry I don't know who the authors are, but thought I'd share them all the same:)

Love these quotes AGrace.

My fav of all time is from Winston Churchill when in parliament.

Woman member yells "if you were my husband I'd poison you"

Churchill "and if you were my wife I'd gladly drink it"

Another one that I've used myself on one occasion "I am not in this world to live up to your expectations"

"Depression is the disease of the intelligent"

and some of mine

"draw a love heart and some will focus on an inkspot"

"communication doesnt occur in the vicinity of one way signs"

"Beware the expert....that became so upon reading one book"

"polishing a poisoned apple will never make it shine"

"only when one partner leaves does the dice of the game lie idle"

"If you want me to carry you then learn to collapse"

"Fatherhood....my ex wife cannot erase it, my children cannot ever deny it and I will never ever abandon it"

Hi WK

Great inspirational quotes

Rather than a quote today, I thought I'd share this little philosophy that I read a couple of weeks ago.

Do you have a problem?

No - Then don't worry

Yes

Can you fix it?

No - Then don't worry

Yes - Then don't worry

It kind of proves that there's not too much that's really worth worrying over:)

HOPE is the little voice you hear whisper "maybe" when the entire world seems to be shouting "no".

Hi All,

Just realised it's been a couple of weeks since I shared something inspiring. In this time we've welcomed a lot of new comers so I thought it might be nice for them to read an inspirational quote, or even look back over some of the one's we've already shared. 

Of course I also welcome those of you who are new to the forums to add to our list.
