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)

My father told me this one but not the author.  "He jests at scars, he, who has never felt a wound*

Thanks Hideaway.

This one made me stop and think.

Hi,

One saying I am trying very hard to be inspired by, is credited to St John of the Cross, Juan de Yepes, a 16th century comtemplative with experience of the dark night.

"Where there is no love, put love, and there will be love"

cheers

Grateful.

I needed to hear this one today

Use your smile to change the world, don't let the world change your smile.

Hi all.

I like inspirational quotes and I like doing puzzles. I have combined the two by going onto a website called; mad cipher puzzles-free online Cryptogram puzzles.  On this site there are lists of  famous people.  You can click on a name and their quote comes up but it’s incomplete. The challenge is to place letters in the empty spaces to complete the puzzle.  Some quotes are witty some are profound and some are just nuts. I find this is a good way of clearing my mind of  negative thoughts when I feel them coming on.  I do this until I am very sleepy.

Always give your best, never get discouraged, never be petty; always remember, others may hate you. Those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.

Nature often holds up a mirror so we can see more clearly the ongoing processes of growth, renewal and transformation in our lives
