To all the beautiful people ๐
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.

Positive Echoes
Across the valley in my heart, I
hear the loud voice of my unfinished self calling out, shouting worthless, worn-out
messages that have resounded in me since youth. They echo back, reinforcing
what is false. As long as I keep voicing this stuff, it persists in returning,
influencing the patterns and fitful tempo of my inner domain. The
reverberations batter and taunt with harsh reminders of what has yet to be
transformed, of the supposed impossibility of becoming the person of great love
that I have long desired.
At the same time, another message
with a kinder tone resounds across my inner landscape, gaining volume each time
I receive it with trust that it is genuine. Strengthening tenderness wraps
around each syllable: โRemember you are loved. Your core self consists of
lasting goodness.โ This message comes from the Compassionate One, echoing far
louder than the reality of my being unfinished. The voice of this beloved Being
assures and reminds me: โFocus on the positive instead of harbouring the
negative. This will encourage and bring about the necessary changes.โ

On vulnerability and taking worthwhile risks:
Daring greatly means the courage to be vulnerable. It means to show up and be seen. To ask for what you need. To talk about how youโre feeling. To have the hard conversations.

For anyone who may be struggling or feeling overwhelmed, this next one is for you. Just a simple and short one but itโs hopefully a little comforting.
I know that youโre trying, and itโs enough.

And forgive yourself for the days you donโt show up. You are allowed those kinds of days as well.

P.S. Music_Freak, Iโm glad that little quote gave you some small comfort. You sound like youโre under a lot of pressure. Thinking of you...hoping things ease a bit for you.
