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.

For anyone who has ever lost a loved one:

We don’t need to suppress our grief to survive. We can integrate it into our lives.

So...

Here’s my advice, hug everyone you love a lot tighter. Never leave someone in an argument. Be present. Say I love you way too much. Take a lot of pictures with the ones you love. You never know when it’ll the the last time you see them. Please don’t take any second with them for granted.

Where..there are choices to make..Make the ones you won’t regret..

.......Quotes for the mind..

On taking it day by day during rough times or rough days:

You’re capable of sitting with this discomfort. You’re capable of making room for this pain.

You don’t have to solve your whole life overnight or have all the answers. You just have to focus on the most immediate thing in front of you. On what you need to do to survive today.

"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."

For anyone struggling with the recent advice of social distancing (I know that I am) to help slow the spread of a certain virus, here are some words of comfort.

But perhaps more importantly, it gives you a glimpse of hope. It won’t be like this forever...

And the people stayed home. And read books, & listened, & rested, & exerciser, & made art, & played games, & learned new ways of being, & were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently.

And the people healed. And in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, & heartless ways, the earth began to heal.

And when the danger passed, & the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, & made new choices, & dreamed new images, & created new ways to live & heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.
