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.

On reflecting upon our own actions, and doing our best to make a positive contribution:

You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.

- Jane Goodall

P.S. Music_Freak, thank you very much for the lovely and supportive post 🙂

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip toe if you must, but take the step.

The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable

Love these last two...so see myself in them

[Peppermintbach]

Be kind to yourself today. Even if you are not where you thought you would be, you are still allowed to find peace in the beautiful reality that you are still on a journey, and you cannot measure yourself up against the miles you have not travelled yet.

Be kind to yourself, in a grace-filled, honest way, knowing no matter the things that have been far from perfect, you are growing at a steady pace.

I am not lost, I

am just working out

my way, no longer

following the

signposts outside

but instead following

the compass

within me.

Birdy and Peppermint...I just about cried reading these.

Too fragile lately...

[Guest8901]

Hi Narelle, sorry to read that you're feeling so fragile lately. University is a big undertaking, and you're doing well despite what you may feel. Please have some patience with yourself.

Birdy, Pepper, Rose and all other contributors here - thank you for your inspiring posts.

Here's another one for you all, and perhaps this one applies to you Narelle?

Sometimes, the strongest among us are the ones who smile through silent pain, cry behind closed doors, and fight battles nobody knows about. By: Unknown (or maybe many) Authors

Not everything is repairable.
Sometimes it breaks.
Breaks beyond saving.

Let it crash,
let it lie where it falls.
Let it be broken.

Let it be.
Let it be.

Spiral out.
Keep going.

Keep going.

Do not apologise

for your decision to

elevate your thoughts,

upgrade your standards,

or separate yourself

from those who interrupt

your greatness.
