Uplifting quotes & Inspiring Thoughts
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.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkst of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
"Do what you have to do, until you can do what you want to do" - Oprah
Do not wait: the time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along.
Napoleon Hill
This quote is a classic in the personal development world but it has always resonated with me. Instead of action, anxiety and fear will often keep us safely dreaming of our goals without setting one foot towards them. And whilst dreaming of our goals is no bad thing, not taking action to achieve them, is.
"The time will never be just right" Next week will not be a better time, tomorrow will not be a better time. Now is the only moment we will only ever have and the opportunity to heal is ever present.
"Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command and better tools will be found as you go along. Baby step or hop, skip and jump your way into your goals. Yet make your goals realistic so that you can taste success. Hourly, Daily, weekly, monthly or yearly, make them realisitc and build a history of tiny success stories behind you. No matter how tiny they may appear to be each success will strengthen you and give you skills to develop new strengths and new skills. Onwards and forwards.

I sit before flowers
Hoping they will train me in the art
Of opening up
I stand on mountain tops believing
That avalanches will teach me
to let go
I know nothing,
But I am here to learn

Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we our powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

The skills you learn as you cope with various symptoms of mental health disorders will stay with you and strengthen you throughout your life, the more you practice them. You're building yourself up for the long term when you choose in this moment to practice a healthy coping method or use a therapeutic skill you've learned.

For what its worth... its never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. Theres no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things youve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life youre proud of, and if youre not, I hope you have the courage to start over again. -F. Scott Fitzgerald
@intellectualCake2979 Thank you. That's my favorite one.
"Nothing destroys self-worth, self acceptance and self-love faster than denying what you feel. Without feelings, you would not know where you are in life. Nor would you know what areas you need to work on. Honor your feelings. Allow yourself to feel them."

Once it may even be beyond your imagination.
But never your capacity.

"Enjoy the little things in life, for one day, you'll look back and realise they were the big things."
For the past few days I've been really captivated by the life of Fred Rogers aka Mr. Rogers. I came across this quote the other day and it felt appropriate to share here with this lovely community, especially in light of all the scary news that surrounds us these days:
"When I was a boy and would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'"
@RobynAllardLMFT Nice, thank you for sharing with us
The worst words you can say are, "I just wish I had..." Push yourself to do what you hope to do so you will never have to regret not having tried.
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. ― Frank Herbert, Dune
Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you
