Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts

Eugene March 22nd, 2014

I hope you can help me add uplifting and inspiring quotes here.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

What if half the world listened as the other half cried?

And then we switched so that everyone had a chance to #listen and cry?

What if half the world listened as the other half laughed?

And once more we switched.

If you read books to escape, then if your life was written in a book, would you read it?

@HopefulLittleGirl3

This is a wonderful question.

I was thinking about how vastly different the outlook, genre and storyline have progressed over the years. Some quite difficult and now very positive.

I would definitely want to read it. Especially as a reminder during tough times.

@Compassionatelistener108 Hmmm you're right. It would definitely be interesting. But I don't have a happy ending yet so it probably won't be as satisfying. Then again, in the real life is there ever a happy ending?

@HopefulLittleGirl3

There are moments of happiness. For many years, I was searching for a persistent state of happiness (or at least peace) as well. What I have found is working through things allows the storms to pass with confidence. We live in a world that is in a constant state of change. Now, I can step back and take a broad view without being in fear of what the various outcomes "may" be. Planning without ruminating in addition to other coping skills makes my story interesting.

It took a long time, hard work, wonderful mentors and a large dose of self-compassion to arrive this state.

I wish the same for you as I already recognize your strength. Be well and be kind to yourself.
