Words of comfort, encouragement and wisdom

[Birdy77]

To all the beautiful people 🌞

Words placed in a particular order can have a profound effect on us.

Words can bring us a moment of comfort, give us a different perspective, or change the course of our thinking and outlook entirely.

I would like this to be a space where we share quotes that have meaning to us or that have the potential to bring some comfort or encouragement to somebody, even if just for the moment in which they are reading it.

I will start.

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow." - Mary Anne Radmacher

Go gently with yourselves lovely people.

You can be shattered and then you can put yourself back together piece by piece. But what can happen over time is this: You wake up one day and realise that you have put yourself back together completely differently. That you are whole, finally, and strong - but you are now a different shape, a different size. This sort of change - the change that occurs when you sit inside your own pain - it's revolutionary ... there is suddenly one day: New Life. You are different. New. And no matter how hard you try, you simply cannot fit into your old life anymore.

I haven't written on this thread for a while so it has been good to catchup with new quotes. I love C S Lewis in almost everything. You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.

Thanks Birdy. Trying to change the past is futile but I know I keep trying. Better do as C S lewis says.

Hello Birdy...

I have a question that I like to ask because I can get really concerned about people who I have gotten to know and care about here, Then when I realise I havent seen them around the forums for a week or more I need to say those very famous words to you...

Birdy...RUOK? and I must also put,..no pressure at all, only when you feel to reply....

Thinking of you...Oh something else I like as well.....

”If you think your a winner you’ll win,

If you dare to step out you’ll succeed,

Believe in your heart have purpose to start,

Aim to help fellow man in his need,

Thoughts of faith must replace every doubt,

Words of courage and you cannot fail,

If you stumble and fall, rise and strand ten feet tall,

You determine the course that you sail.”..

Hi all, new here. A friend sent me this, hope it will be helpful for someone. "If you focus on the hurt, you will continue to suffer, if you focus on the lesson, you will continue to grow."

Hi Proud Dad welcome to BB 🙂

Dear Birdy (our newly appointed Valued Contributor). Much deserved honour too, my dear friend. Here are some more words of wisdom to add to your lovely thread.

Walk away from arguments which lead you to anger. Walk away from people who deliberately put you down. Walk away from pleasing people who will never see your true worth. Walk away from any thing or thought which undermines your peace of mind. Walk away from judgemental people who do not know your struggle or what you have been through. Walk away from your mistakes and fears, as they do not determine your fate. The more you walk away from things that poison your soul, the healthier your life will be.

Thank you everybody for your kind and supportive words of encouragement that you have left here.

Welcome Proud Dad 😊.

Grandy, thanks so much for your signature care and concern. I am ok. I have been having a rest, my mind and heart have been left drained and tired due to some hassles, but I will be back on deck shortly.

Thanks everyone for being here and leaving your words of comfort, encouragement and wisdom to share with all.

Love,
