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.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.

- Thich Naht Nahn

Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the present withhold holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won’t).

- James Baraz

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art -- write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.

~Neil Gaiman

On growth:

For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.

- Cynthia Occelli

And...

From a small seed, a mighty trunk may grow.

- Aeschylus

I have recently saw a quote and found it meaningful:

If you focus on problems, you tend to get more problems. If you focus on possibilities, you tend to get more opportunities.

- Quote Gates

"Be brave.

Be bold.

Be you."
