These quotes inspire me daily. Hope they do the same for you!
1. Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you’ve got a big heart and aren’t afraid to let others see it. Showing your emotions is a sign of strength.
2. Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you.
3. This is the year I will be stronger, braver, kinder, unstoppable and this year, I will be fierce.
4. You were given this life because you are strong enough to live it.
5. Forget all the reasons why it won’t work and believe the one reason why it will.
6. Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.
7. You never realize how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
8. Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.
9. Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that's what makes you strong.
10. Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
11. You're going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is happy and at peace, they mistake for weakness. It's not your job to change these people, but it's your job to show them that your peace and gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot. There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage. It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they can't. They accuse me of being deceived; I am not deceiving, I am just made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I want you to be made of silk. You are silk.
Have a good day,
