@UnconditionalLove3

I love this. I actually have this little quote on my kitchen window ledge. I read it every day. I wish more people would think this way. Be kind. Be compassionate. Try not to judge. Show mercy and be empathetic

Your heart is like the sun embued in love and light, rising but never setting. When in the darkest night love and light seem gone look to the moon, the suns beacon because moonlight is sunlight, and morning always comes.

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive." - Oriah Mountain Dreamer -

"And remember that this heart of yours will shine of pride from the beauty of its scars; as it remembers the bravery that was being vulnerable." Lucie Lamerre

Cause if your heart can't complete mine,
I'll feel my feet sink in the ground.
Lucie Lamerre

Sharing my favorite poem which inspires me.

STILL I RISE

By Maya Angelou

You may write me down in history

With your bitter, twisted lies,

You may trod me in the very dirt

But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?

Why are you beset with gloom?

Cause I walk like I've got oil wells

Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,

With the certainty of tides,

Just like hopes springing high,

Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?

Bowed head and lowered eyes?

Shoulders falling down like teardrops,

Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?

Don't you take it awful hard

Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines

Diggin in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,

You may cut me with your eyes,

You may kill me with your hatefulness,

But still, like air, Ill rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?

Does it come as a surprise

That I dance like I've got diamonds

At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of historys shame

I rise

Up from a past thats rooted in pain

I rise

I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,

Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear

I rise

Into a daybreak thats wondrously clear

I rise

Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,

I am the dream and the hope of the slave.

I rise

I rise

I rise.

@SummerNightDream

I really like this poem. When first time I read it, it's gave me courage and strength.

@Oracle12

I am glad you like it. It reminds me of things we are capable of doing if we believe in ourselves.

May you be blessed.

@SummerNightDream

You're welcome. 😊

ten years from now make sure you can say you chose your life and didnt settle for it

fight for the fairy tale it does exist

You," he said, "are a terribly real thing in a terribly false world, and that, I believe, is why you are in so much pain.

Great things never come from comfort zones.

Don't cry because it's finished smiled because it took place and just because it ended doesn't mean it wasn't good enough some u can't write all the story on one leaf u need to turn over😄

"It isn't about what you have. It's about what you do with what you have."

"It isn't about what you've got. It's about what you do with what you've got."

"Do not fear mistakes. There are none."

"Rest if you must, but don't you quit!"

All those moments will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain

If you are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed

If they were meant for you they will come back.

You cant love someone else until you love yourself

Love yourself, and the whole world opens up.

Jen Sincero

The darkness hour is just before dawn.

If you have cognitive dissonance take in to account the formula which leads to that conclusion. Then try to conceptualize the process that part of that formula may require you not understanding to come to that result. So you dont have to try add in more information just observe the pattern which came to that conclusion.

@Eatos hey could you expand on this?

yesterday is gone. tomorrow will never come. What we have now here is today. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Enjoy your present. - b.keane

(why tomorrow will never come ? it was meant to point how we use to delay things for the next day and when next day comes, we delay things next day and so on).

"Maybe things happen for a reason, and wherein lies the answer to overcome the grieving of life's unruly lessons, I'm handed in succession. It builds my pain, which makes me strong! ... Only the strong survive!" C. Volz

It's okay to be not okay.

It's okay to have a little bit of rain. Too much sun will burn you, right?

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"~~~ Dr. Seuss

You cant be afraid of people willing to hurt you cause if you fear life youll never live.
