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.

Offering help is courageous and compassionate, but so is asking for help.

When you talk, you are only repeating something you know. If you listen, you may learn something new. Dalai Lama

"Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not obsess.
Just breathe and have faith that all will work out for the best."

[Peppermintbach]

For anyone who is going through a difficult time, hurting and struggling....the next two are for you:

It’s alright to cry.

It’s alright to hurt.

It’s alright to be confused.

Hope will rebuild landmarks.

Hope will outlive the broken hearts.

Hope will outlive the disillusioned.

- Alan Cox

And...

Sometimes carrying on, just carrying on, is the superhuman achievement.

"And once the storm is over, you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about"

[Birdy77]

It may be that when we no longer know what to do,
we have come to our real work
and when we no longer know which way to go,
we have begun our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.
The impeded stream is the one that sings.

~Wendell Berry

Love these two baet123 and Birdy...I'm in the storm now and feeling simply shattered 😞

Maybe, just maybe, it helps sometimes to take a step back and allow space for our feelings/thoughts:

Everything that is created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness.

- Wayne Dyer

Then maybe...with time, with trepidation, but growing self acceptance and self awareness, things start to change:

Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

P.S. Music_Freak: it sounds like you’re really struggling. Sending kind thoughts to you.
