Words of Wisdom

Hi Online Therapy Sub-Community :)

I hope you are well. Often we get helpful words from others or perhaps a quote that has inspired us or helped us in some way. They really can be very uplifting!

If you feel comfortable to do so, can you share with something that has helped you?

For me, I find the following really uplifting and useful:

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.” – Lao Tzu
I like this one because it helps you to see that the journey isn't always easy or something you can reach quickly but you will eventually get there.

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi
With so many difficulties happening across the globe it can make a huge difference to look at the things you can control and not react with the same behaviour. So whilst we cannot influence the world on a broader scale usually, we can make small differences to make the world a better place.

Feeling better starts with a single message. Check out my profile and reviews.

This is a quote I've carried with me for a long time.

“Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it,” Churchill

We things are not going your way it may be the best learning experience ever.

I like to collect quotes in particular and words in general, that resonate with, or inspire me. Here are my faves


"You don’t have to be liked by everybody. You don’t even like everybody."


'Listen, that move you are scared to make, might be the game changer.'


'There is a past version of you that is so proud of how far you have come.'

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

I personally feel drawn to the quote above.It really uplifts me to think that Universe do listen and make things happen as per our wish so I should be careful to keep my thoughts positive and constructive.

"A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step".... If I may kinda further that point, with the fact after that first step it's only one foot infront of the other till you reach the finish line.

After 13 years in a relationship with an emotionally abusive woman who loved to gaslight and dump me with texts over and over, I have finally accepted that she is not a good person and is not right for me. Just the other day, I built up the courage to tell her to leave me alone. I saw this on Twitter the same day:

"It isn't necessarily a moment that counts so much. It's the journey. Try to love your past, present, and future."

That was a huge help to me... Thought I would share. 😊

The man who moves a mountain, starts by carrying small stones.

  • Confucius

Be content to progress in slow steps until you have legs to run and wings with which to fly

  • Pio Petriclina


The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.

- Thomas A. Edison


Some of our problems is, when we do too much things at once we get overwhelmed and sometimes discouraged and quit, instead of quiting, break them down into small goals and a list to knock them off one at a time, and if you get tired give your self rest, and get back to it when rejuvenated, but remember to structure things on a deadline schedule so when you do accomplish it, it gives you momentum to keep accomplishing more and more.


checklist gives us a feeling of accomplishments, the more you do the small stuff the easier the larger ones will be. One of the greatest things to also have is wise and accredited counsel, a social worker, a coworker, a case manager and a pastor, we cant do everything alone, so set up your circle team and utilize them in working together. Getter Done.


Pace yourself, life is not a race but a marathon.
