“Do not think of today's failures, but of the success that may come tomorrow. You have set yourselves a difficult task, but you will succeed if you persevere; and you will find a joy in overcoming obstacles. Remember, no effort that we make to attain something beautiful is ever lost.” ~ Helen Keller
“Nothing is better for self-esteem than survival.” ~ Martha Gellhorn, Travels With Myself and Another
“YOU are the creator of your experience, therefore: all problems must be met within YOU.” ~ Vivian Amis, The Essentials of Life
“...sometimes it’s not about trying to fix something that’s broken. Sometimes it’s about starting again and building something new. Something better” ~Leisa Rayven, Bad Romeo
|
We all have it... that thing we are trying to overcome. The sooner we face it, own it, & share it; the sooner we can be at peace and build a better future for ourselves. It all starts from within.
~ Jacquie
