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.

I appreciate that this next one may not be for everyone, and that’s okay...
But it’s personally meaningful to me. So I still wanted to share it...
On personal growth, especially compassion and self awareness plus awareness of the “other”:
There is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness.
We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
- Alan Watts

Tonight, you may
be sorrowful or
silent, empty or
alone, but you
have the moon, and
you have your
breath, and in
inhaling the
wonder of these
alone, you might
find yourself
wrapped in the soft
shawl of gentle
relief that this
very moment is
beautiful, and is
more than worthy
of perfect love.

On making positive changes and showing compassion in our behaviours and actions:
It is not enough to
be compassionate,
we must act.
- Dalai Lama
P.S. as always, a very grateful and loving thank you, dear birdy 🙂 Also, I’m pleased that the earlier quote about discomfort and legendary and fear and growth resonated xoxo

i am drawn to the light in others.
it is how i know i am not alone.
to be a seeker of the light is to be
connected to the very truth itself
--- the way out of the darkness is when
we can look across the table and find
our face in another's. when we let our
stories exist we invite others to
see more clearly in a space where pain, struggle, stunning resilience and belonging are not unique to just one person,
they live in each of us, proving we are
not on our own. i heal. and you heal. and when we heal, the world heals with us.
an open heart is the key that unlocks hope's reach. the sun is here within you now open your eyes.

Surround yourself with people
who add value to your life.
Who challenge you to be greater
than you were yesterday.
Who sprinkle magic into your
existence, just like you do to
theirs.
Life isn’t to be done alone.
Find your tribe - and journey
freely and loyally together
- Alex Elle
P.S. dear birdy, your latest quote brought a tear to my eye. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂 xoxox

On daily life and survival:
You’ll have good days,
bad days,
overwhelming days,
“too tired” days,
“I’m awesome” days,
”I cann’t go on” days,
And every day,
you’ll still show up.

and complicated
and afraid
and show up anyway.

Sadness has taught me
things that happiness just
can't, like in the same
way the daylight can't
teach me about the stars.

On having an inquisitive mind, an open heart and seeking eyes...
Develop a passion
for learning
If you do, you will
never cease to grow.
