Do one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. ~Oprah
I'm not sure about anyone else but I find a sense of comfort in quotes. They inspire me. They uplift me. I find it soothing to my soul when I come across the words of others that reflect my own spirit. Following in the footsteps of my Lady O, I have a quote book. I went to the bookstore and picked up a journal and have started writing down all of my favourite quotes. I have some poems and songs in there too that inspire me.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. ~Eleanor RooseveltI love how they make you think. Sometimes, they make you want to be a better person. To live a fuller life, a happier life. Other times, they can hit a personal nerve that has you wiping a tear away but wanting to keep reading more. So, on that note, I want top share more of what is inspiring me right now. I would love to hear from you what quotes move you. Share them with me!!
Storms make oak trees take root. ~Proverb
The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them. ~Maya Angelou
I don't think it's possible for people to hurt me anymore. They are only giving me their observations, I am giving it meaning.
Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.
I say the universe speaks to us, always first in whispers. And a whisper in your life usually feels like 'Hmm, that's odd' or 'Hmm, that doesn't make any sense', or "Hmm, is that right'? It's that subtle. And if you don't pay attention to the whisper, it gets louder and louder and louder. I say it's like getting thumped upside the head. If you don't pay attention to that like getting a brick upside your head. You don't pay attention to that, the brick wall falls down. ~Oprah
Resentment is like drinking poison and then hoping it will kill your enemies. ~Nelson Mandella
We delight in the beauty in the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty. ~Maya Angelou
Stop trying to fit in when you were born to stand out.
When you want something you've never had you have to do something you've never done.
There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. ~Leonard Cohen
You can accept or reject the way you are treated by other people, but until you heal the wounds of your past, you will continue to bleed. You can bandage the bleeding with food, with alcohol, with drugs, with work, with cigarettes, with sex, but eventually, it will all ooze through and stain your life. You must find the strength to open the wounds, stick your hands inside, pull out the core of the pain that is holding you in your past, the memories and make peace with them. ~Iyanla Vanzant
Enjoy these. Just a few of my favs. Hope one of them touches you the way they touch me.
Until next time ladies and gents....take it easy.
