Dry your tears child. Life is too short for so much sorrow.

~American Horror story

This is from the Desiderata (which can be found in it's entirety here) but this stanza helps me:

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

You are the reason someone has strength to smile. And I know that deep down you know someone is the reason you smile. We are all loved. Even if we don't realize it.

I have a little motto when I'm in need of grounding "be proud, be thankful, be strong" and I try think of one thing for each and repeat it back to myself.

Constant kindness can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust, and hostility to evaporate.

Stay positive today ppl.

Everyday may not be good but there is something good in every day 🌞

"You are not as powerless as you think you are. You have the power to save yourself."

I used to live with a woman who suffers from ALS. She always repeated this phrase:

"Rest if you must... But never quit."

I got it tattooed on the side of my wrists last year.

It comforts me when I need to be comforted. And keeps me motivated when i need to be reminded to never lose the will to live.

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.

Sometimes life is like a dark tunnel. You can't always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you just keep moving... you will come to a better place.

(Yes, these quotes are from a TV show)

I just have to have hope, no matter what, that good things await me if I don't give up. Just my thought.

@Dragonbeauty this is a favourite of mine.

You are not your thoughts. You are not your emotions. You are the soul inhabiting the human body that is having those thoughts and emotions. Breathe that in for a second.

You cannot change other people, make their decisions, take their actions, protect their feelings. You cannot change the universe, right all wrongs, influence all circumstances, eliminate all suffering. But these are not the things that will determine your happiness.
Remember that it is your beliefs, your mindset and your actions that change your life and determine your happiness. So learn more about what could make you happy and change your mindset.
And never stop asking these three questions: What meaning am I giving to this part of my life? What other meaning could it have? What changes can I make to transform this part of my life?

Life is all about self discovery with the least amount of self destruction

"If I am worth anything later, I am worth something now. For wheat is wheat even if people think it is grass in the beginning"
