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.

Suffering is part of our training program for becoming wise.

healing will ask more of you

more rest
more self love
more letting go
more time for learning
more space for transformation
more honesty about how you feel
more time developing good habits
more courage to try new practices
more time cultivating your inner peace
more faith in yourself and the process

Wounds don’t heal the way you want them to, they heal the way they need to. It takes time for wounds to fade into scars. It takes time for the process of healing to take place. Give yourself that time. Give yourself that grace. Be gentle with your wounds. Be gentle with your heart. You deserve to heal.

- Dele Olanubi

P.S. Music_Freak, I’m glad the words that I saw earlier on a poster gave you some gentle comfort...

Healing comes in waves
and maybe today
the wave hits the rocks

and that’s okay,
that’s okay, darling

you are still healing
you are still healing.

Hi everyone,

My contributions today are about recovery.

Recovery is a series of steps. The first step is forward ... away from feeling hopeless. Then there are more steps to treatment, self-forgiveness and self care. Before you know it you'll look back and realise you're on your way. One step at a time.

Katy Keenhold

The point of recovery isn't to live without ups and downs ... its learning to live WITH the ups and downs.

Quiet friend
who has come so far,
feel how your breathing
makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell.
As you ring,
what batters you
becomes your strength.

For anyone who is feeling overwhelmed and struggling, this one is for you:

I will breathe.

I will think of solutions.

I will not let my worry control me.

I will not let my stress level break me.

I will simply breathe...

And it will be okay.

I will not quit.
