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.

Just letting someone speak their truth can sometimes be the biggest gift you can give them, to just hold the space for them ❤

I am learning every day
to allow the space
between where I am
and where I want to be
to inspire me and not
terrify me.

Hey Music,

The amazing thing about university is that yes it is tough and may seem impossible sometimes but its so rewarding and in the end, that small piece of paper is worth it. All the best with your studies and your exams coming up shortly. Crush em!

Nick.

Thanks Nick 🙂

I'm constantly stressed with uni, but I'm doing it to improve my life (buy a house etc.), so hopefully all the stress and tears are worth it. As for exams...I don't have much confidence, but we'll see. I'm all done by the 24th of November, having only two.

On growth and learning:

I wish for a world where everyone understands that discomfort is the price of legendary. And fear is just growth coming to get you.

- Robin S. Sharma

The man who moves a mountain begins by carrying away small stones.

- Confucius

For anyone struggling with the distance between where they are now and where they would like to be:

Some days doing

“the best we can”

may still fall short of

what we would like to be able to

do, but life isn’t

perfect on any

front - and doing

what we can with

what we have is the

most we should

expect of ourselves

or anyone else

- Fred Rogers

[Birdy77]

do not fast forward
into something
you're not ready for

or allow yourself
to shrink back
into what's comfortable

growth lives in the uneasiness
the in-between
the unfinished sentence

you are a season of becoming

~ Danielle Doby

P.S dear Pepper, I love: discomfort is the price of legendary ... fear is just growth coming to get you. Thank you so much xo
