Lately, I've found the need to read more motivational words that offer wisdom and clarity. While I have a number of books that provide solace, peace and encouragement, there is one little book that I try to reach for every morning. To say it clears my head is an understatement. It's needed during these challenging times when nothing seems to being going in the right direction; when kindness and common decency are missing in how people are treated.
Below are some quotes from the lovely book, Quotes About Living, written by Doe Zantamata.
Behind each set of eyes lives another wandering soul who, under different circumstances, could have been you.
Your intuition is a sense that has been given to you not to ignore but to use and and to help you navigate through life. Trust your intuition. If something feels wrong, it probably is.
Let your intuition be your guide, but keep your mind alert to process what that sense is telling you.
Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know before you learned it.
An apology doesn't come with an eraser. Forgiveness doesn't mean memory loss. Once the house of trust is broken, it has to be rebuilt. Things aren't the way they were before, and they may not be for some time.
Loving and supporting someone is not the same as loving and supporting someone's actions if they are harming themselves or others. The first encourages, the second enables.
Don't let something entirely out of your control entirely control you.
Circumstances that were out of your control put you where you started. Choices that are in your control get you where you end up.
Time must be good at hiding. If you don't make an effort to find it, it sure will sneak up on you.
The freedom to be yourself is a gift only you can give yourself. But once you do, no one can take it away.
