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.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you'll be criticized anyway.

For anyone feeling lonely, I hope this brings you some small comfort:

And if you’re ever feeling lonely, just look at the moon. Someone, somewhere, is looking at it too...

I give up freely what is no longer serving me. I release it to create space for what inspires me.

If unrest is building up around you, take some deep breaths and imagine you are growing roots from your feet into the ground. Stand firm, while the chaos around you simply blows through your branches and disappears on the breeze.

Dear protective angel:
I do believe you are exist
If you wouldn't I would have died years ago doing real dangerous stuff
This time you let me hit my head and scrambled up my brain
I hate you for letting it happen
I wondered if you were sleeping or were hungover
But today 10 month later I wonder if you actually did protect me
Did you let me fall to prevent a worse injury than PCS and FND?
I could have been blown to pieces in the fire?
I could have had a major stroke?
I could have died?
I believe you try to teach me a lesson?
I believe you decided I needed a lesson to survive the next 60+ years I may have in me?
I believe you decided I need to slow down to appreciate what I have and to take stock and look around?
Well ok fair enough
I still don't like it
I usually don't do slow and ineffective
I usually do fast and furious and superefficient
But I see your point
Maybe you are telling me I must change my pace?
Fair enough but I find it really really difficult right now to live a life that is only 35% of my former life.
Life was good. Very good.
But hey I still like you.
Thanks for not letting the croc eat me in darwin
Thanks for not letting me die in the car a few month back
Thanks for protecting me when hiking though the wild all alone for days.
I forgive you letting me fall
I forgive you making me suffer
Maybe you are telling me I can only live to 100years if I take it slow?
If not I wont live that long?
Ok you got me.
I try my best
I promise
As long as you don't let me hit my head again!

- Sometimes things in our life need to break-down so that we make room for better things to come together.

- In every situation, no matter how bad it is. There is always a silver lining! You just have to look very carefully for it.

- Be good, do good and the universe will do good by you.
