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.

Dear All~

I was talking to someone today who was irather overwhelmed by the world, it reminded me of the need as expressed in the opening words of the Desiderata:

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence."

You can read the whole prose poem here:

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."

- J.R.R Tolkien

Im holding a full glass of water up. How much does it weigh?


It depends on how long i hold it.
If i hold it for a minute nothing happens. If i hold it for an hour my arm will begin to ache. If i hold it all day, my arm will become numb and paralysed.

The weight of the glass hasn’t changed, but the longer i hold on to it, the heavier it becomes.

The stresses and worries of life are the glass of water.

Hold it for a minute and there is no problem.Hold on to it for a while linger and it starts to hurt. Hold onto it all day long and become paralysed by it, incapable of doing anything.

Always remember to put the glass down.
