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 making progress. Gradually and gently, especially if feeling anxious:

Our way to practice is one step at a time, one breath at a time.

- Shunryu Suzuki

[Birdy77]

I define connection as the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgment; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship.

Brené Brown


*** Thank you to BeyondBlue for the opportunity for us all to feel such connection ***

Human connections are deeply nurtured in the field of shared story.

I found the following quote today and it really spoke to me, so I wanted to share it with everyone.

When we deny our emotions, it owns us.

- Brené Brown (to the best of my knowledge)

Hello everyone..🤗💖..

Imagine this...If you had $48,400. in you account and someone stole $10.00 from you, would you be upset and throw the remaining $48,390 away in the hope of getting back at that person who took your $10.00? or move on and live?...Right...move on and live...See , we all have 48,400 seconds each day...Don’t let someone else’s negative 10 seconds ruin the remaining 48,390 seconds.....Don’t sweat the small stuff...Life is bigger then that..

Not sure who the writer is...but wanted to put it here....it’s something we all should try to do....

Grandy💖🤗👼..
