Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts

Never give up until life gives you reasons to.

Shine until you overshine the sun .

Reach the light in the darkest time.

IT WILL GET BETTER, BE PATIENT, WE ARE HERE FOR YOU

Even when I fall and hurt, I keep running towards my dream

Remember when it comes to healing there is no finishing line. Tonight we should allow ourselves time to heal at our own pace. A finishing line only inhibits us futher by forcing our healing as quick as possible. We need to understand that there is no quick fix. Each and every one of us heals in our own time. The textbooks can help guide, but never let yourself rush into things and sell your comfort. Healing should not be pressured. It's okay if it takes more than a year, half of a lifetime, the most important thing is that you are trying. Even when it feels like you're doing so little, even if somedays you do feel yourself falling back down into one of the darkest places, this doesn't mean you have lost, this doesn't mean you have failed, remember this.

Here's a true story. Coming and going from the hospital where I work, I met a man who lives on the street with his dog. He is middle aged and the dog, Amanda rides in a doggie cart that he pulls with his bike. The man can't go to a shelter because of Amanda, no dogs - so he made the choice to get by with the help of strangers. One night it was cold and the man was outside the door of the hospital and I invited him into the lobby for a bowl of hot soup. He said he was about to go to a sheltered spot in the alley and curl up under cardboard and blankets, and that they would be OK. As he accepted the soup and crackers, he bowed his head and prayed silently. I still see the 2 every now and then but often it is just driving by and passing. Here comes the good part.

My daughter, 27 also lives in the neighborhood and she helps the man sometimes too. He is the gentlest, kindest person you would ever want to meet. My daughter saw him tonight and politely asked " What can I do for you?" He said"I need 13 dollars for a bus ride. she said, I'll do you one better. She went to the ATM, got a 20 and gave it to him and said " My Mom, (she mentions my name) would want you to have this, its her birthday." He started crying then and said "Please tell --- ( my name) that I remember her and tell her Happy Birthday for me. You are just like your mother. " It is a warm night here and the weather will be OK for sleeping outside. I pray no harm comes to him and Amanda as they occupy the same earth we all walk on, in different ways.

"tthis the part where you find out who you are"

For those who are sad may they find happiness. For those who are depressed may they find hope. For those who are in the dark may they find light. For those who are angry may they find peace. For those who are hurt may they find love. And for those who are lost may they be found and guided

Everything happens for a reason!

Every storm has to pass
