“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
Quotes
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
Happiness Is Being Around People…
“Happiness is being around people who may not be your real family, but who love and support you anyway.” —Unknown Author
Love Me
“Love me when I least deserve it, because that’s when I really need it.” -Swedish Proverb
I’m Not Impressed
“I’m not impressed by how many material items someone has or how much money they make. There are many cruel and uncaring people who’ve made lots of money and have bought fancy things. I AM impressed by how someone touches others’ lives & the kindness they show to others. That’s something money can’t buy and something that’s rarely shown off or even appreciated these days. If more people were striving to make a positive difference in people’s lives and to be a ray of kindness everywhere they go, the world could start to sparkle a little more. Let’s try to sparkle, not with showing off our bling, but by showing the priceless sparkle of kindness in our hearts.” -Kandee Johnson
Being Strong…
“Being strong doesn’t mean you have to stay and fight all the battles and petty arguments that come your way. Being strong means you don’t have to stay and respond to rude remarks. Don’t resort by throwing insults back at them. It’s what they want. Keep your dignity and don’t lower yourself to their level. True strength is being adult enough to walk away from the nonsense with your head held high.” -Unknown
Just As Light
“Just as light and darkness cannot coexist, when we’re in fear we cannot feel the blessing.” -Yehuda Berg
If One Dream Should Fall…
“If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again.” -Flavia Weeden
You Are Not A Drop In The Ocean…
“You are not a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.” -Rumi
