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)

Never regret the fall, stand up to see how high you can make it.

Is your cup half full or is it half empty?

Just drink what is in it and fill it up again, or tip it out and start over again.

Hi, I'm only new here but love the idea of the inspirational quotes etc. Will definitely be adopting a number of these, I think!

Just wanted to contribute one which I've always liked.

Fall down seven times, stand up eight

Thanks

My favorite quote is this one:-

An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life... "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."     - attributed to old Cherokee Parable.

Heya everybody, I'm new here. I had found this quote last night that had really resonated with me.

"Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to one, or from holding views which others find inadmissible."

- C.G. Jung.


Cheers.

Hi all. I saw this one on Facebook.

Have the maturity to know that sometimes silence is more powerful than having the last word.
