“You don’t need the acceptance of others. You don’t need knowledge or great philosophical concepts. You have the right to be you, and you express your own divinity by being alive and by loving yourself and others.” —Don Miguel Ruiz
Quotes
Never Underestimate The Power Of Dreams
“Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.” -Wilma Rudolph
Nobody Will Protect You From Your Suffering
“Nobody will protect you from your suffering. You can’t cry it away or eat it away or starve it away or walk it away or punch it away or even therapy it away. It’s just there, and you have to survive it. You have to endure it. You have to live through it and love it and move on and be better for it and run as far as you can in the direction of your best and happiest dreams across the bridge that was built by your own desire to heal.” ―Cheryl Strayed
Bigger, Bolder, Braver
“Live bigger, bolder, braver…with more love, more laughing & more hunting for the good everywhere!” -Kandee Johnson
If You Do Not Hope…
“If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.” –St. Clement of Alexandra
Few People Understand What It Means
“Few people understand what it means to really be there for somebody. And that’s the toughest part about being on a journey. You realize the main ones that said they will ride with you, are the first ones to fall off. People make promises when the sun is shining and make excuses when the storm comes. That’s why I am always thankful for the rain. It washes away the unnecessary. The reality is, you could be amazing, genuine, and sincere, but still be overlooked. Having a good thing is so hard because meeting a strong person is so rare.” -Unknown
All Successful Men And Women
“All successful men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.” -Brian Tracy
The Beauty Of Being Shattered
“The beauty of being shattered is how the shards become our character and our marks of distinction. This is how we are refined by our pain. When the storm rips you to pieces, you get to decide how to put yourself back together again. The storm gives us the gift of our defining choices. You will be a different person after the storm, because the storm will heal you from your perfection. People who stay perfect and unblemished never really get to live fully or deeply. You will not be the same after the storms of life; you will be stronger, wiser, and more alive than ever before!” -Bryant McGill
Healing Takes Courage
“Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.” -Tori Amos
We Are Often Let Down
“We are often let down by the most trusted people and loved by the most unexpected ones. Some make us cry for things that we haven’t done, while others ignore our faults and just see our smile. Some leave us when we need them the most, while some stay with us even when we ask them to leave. The world is a mixture of people. We just need to know which hand to shake and which hand to hold! After all, that’s life, learning to hold on and learning to let go.” -Unknown
