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.

"Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "I will try again tomorrow.""

Found that on Facebook and shared it, i found it meaningful and true when I thought about it.

« Do not reach out your hands.
Reach out your heart.
Reach out your words.
Reach out all the tendrils
of compassion that move, invisibly,
where we cannot touch »

How beautiful is that?

Talk to the moon, or even the sun, both will tell you

it's ok to disappear when things don't go right...

but it's important to come back and spread your light

Since we are all going through such a strange and difficult autumn, an exerpt from a poem by May Sarton:

If I can take the dark with open eyes

And call it seasonal, not harsh or strange

(For love itself may need a time of sleep),

And, treelike, stand unmoved before the change,

Love what I love to keep what I can keep,

The strong root still alive under the snow,

Love will endure - if I can let you know.

From Autumn Sonnets by May Sarton

I always forget how important the empty days are, how important it may be sometimes not to expect to produce anything.

We must expect finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.

Just wanted to say wow... these are all so beautiful. What a lovely thread! Was feeling the anxious jitters this morning but all these beautiful quotes and such are so calming.

I'll have to find some to share in return!

"Live one day at a time and make it a masterpiece" Dalai Lama A to Z

Avoid negative sources, people, places and habits
Believe in yourself
Consider things from every angle
Don’t give up and don’t give in
Everything you’re looking for lies behind the mask you wear
Family and friends are hidden treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches
Give more than you planned to
Hang onto your dreams
If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door
Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it
Keep trying no matter how hard it seems
Love yourself
Make it happen
Never lie, steal or cheat
Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values
Practice makes perfect
Quality not quantity in anything you do
Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer
Stop procrastinating
Take control of your own destiny
Understand yourself in order to better understand others
Visualise it
When you lose, don’t lose the lesson
Xcellence in all your efforts
You are unique, nothing can replace you
Zero in on your target and go for it

[David Nobody]

FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN and not on what you can’t
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DO and not on what you don’t
FOCUS ON WHAT YOU WILL and not on what you won’t
