Healing doesn't mean the damage never existed. It means the damage no longer controls our lives.

(Just because something has caused you pain and damage in your life, doesn't mean you have to let it control the rest of your life.)




Some of life's best lessons are learned at the worst times.

 

(I am going through some really difficult struggles, physically/medically and I am struggling with it a lot. I keep trying to tell myself that there are lessons to be learned from it.)

 

 

Instead of judging someone by their past. Stand by them and help them repair their future.

 

(Maybe instead of always judging someone by their past, we should try to help them build/repair a better future.)

 

 

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn't take, relationships we were too afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make.

 

 

The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping stones. Laugh at them, tread on them and let them lead you to something better.

 

 

 A moment of patience in a moment of anger

  saves thousand moments of regret.

 

 

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

 

 

 

Life is too short. Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can, apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change.

 

 

And so we climb...

Higher than the forest domain.

 Higher than the sun's retreat.

Higher than the limits of our fear.

 Higher than our vast insecurities.

Beyond whispers of the unknown.

Beyond the need of tangible hope.

Beyond the brokenness of memories.

 Beyond the confines of comprehension.

And so we climb.

 

 

The bravest thing I ever did was continuing my life when I wanted to die.

 

(There definitely have been times in my life, when I just wanted to die and wished I were dead. But something always made me hold on and keep on going, no matter how difficult my life seemed to be/get.)

 

 

 

 

Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth. 

 

(Just because someone else doesn't see your worth, doesn't mean you are worthless.)

 

 

 

Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

 

 

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. 

 

 

It's okay to not be perfect.

It's okay to make mistakes.

It's okay to do something that

you wish you hadn't done,

because if we don't do those

things we never grow.

(I have definitely said and done some things I wish I hadn't, but I have learned some lessons from some of them, some the hard way.)

Expose yourself to your biggest fears, overcome them and you will be free

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others wont. 

 

Real talking, from a real person, just like you. Expose yourself to your biggest fears, overcome them, and you'll be free. That day when your world is kinda upside-down. That moment when you realize you are not made of steel. You feel sad, ...you miss someone, you cry over things or people that would probably never cry over you... but you still do. That moment when the "big world falls apart", and you gotta pick yourself up and carry on. That moment when you realize that you've had enough and it's gotta be mind over matter, or nothing at all. You have to stand strong. You have to raise your head and move forward. Don't look back, as you are not going in that direction. That moment when you realize that you are the only one who can shut your light off. And sometimes you do... But you gotta turn it back on.

Don't regret things you've done, regret those you haven't. Sometimes all we gotta do is clear our mind of "what ifs". It is what it is and will be what it got to be. Just stay true to yourself and everything else will fall into place. You are allowed to cry, to fall, to lose your mind, to lose track of it.... As long as you are able, at some point, to rescue yourself out of the dark hole you jumped in. Sadness, just like failure, should never be permanent or absolute. But sometimes they are much needed, as they are the most painful but yet the most precious lessons life will teach us. But.... "Don't be fooled by your emptiness, there's much more room for happiness" Kaskade (Room for Happiness) - be positive. Believe that everything happens for a reason. Silence the heart and listen to your mind sometimes... It is absolutely fine to be hurt, as long as you don't allow yourself be reduced by your pain, especially if you know you've done all you could. "Enjoy yourself, take ONLY what you need from it" MGMT (Kids). Be blessed! -- a post by: Bella Falconi

 Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it.

 

Sometimes in life... we want things that scare us. And we let our fear stop us from even trying. Decide whether you want it more than it scares you.

 

 

Be the change you wish to be in the world.

 

 

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.

 

 You only run out of chances when you stop taking them.

 

 

 

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

 

 

The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grown is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.

 

If you never chase your dreams, you'll never catch them.

 

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

 

Don't expect everyone to understand your journey. Especially if they've never had to walk your path!

No act of kindness, no matter how small is ever wasted.

We are all strangers to our hidden potential until we confront problems that reveal our capabilities

We are all strangers to our hidden potential until we confront problems that reveal our capabilities.

You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the shore.

 

Life's challenges are not suppose to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are.

Stop beating yourself up! You are a work in progress, which means you get there a little at a time, not all at once.

No matter how man times I break down, There is always a little piece of me that says.... No, You're not done yet Get Back Up!

 

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning how to dance in the rain.

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly.

Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burdens behind us.

 

All things splendid have been achieved by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance...

 

Let someone love you just the way you are - as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

 

Rise above the storm and you will find the sunshine.

The only thing that hurts harder than a failure is not trying.

To get up when you are down, to fight more intensely when you are struggling; to put in the extra effort when you are in sheer pain, to comeback when nobody expects you to, and to stand tall when everyone is pulling you down are what make a champion.

The greater your storm the brighter your rainbow.

Some of my favorite fitness images.

Nicole Wilkins - You have three choices in life. Give up, give in, or give it all you've got.

 



Nicole Wilkins - One reason people resist change is because they focus on what they have to GIVE UP, rather than what they have to GAIN.

To be great does not mean you have to dominate others. It means you have to dominate your own potential.

 

 



Nicole Wilkins - Your problems are really your blessings if you use them to grow stronger. Never quit just because you feel temporarily defeated. You have not been beaten - this is not a competition.

Keep working to be the best you can be. It doesn’t matter how slow you go so long as you don’t give up on yourself.

It is never a question of can you, but will you?

 

You have a choice. You can throw in the towel or you use it to wipe the sweat off your face.

Life's only limitations are the ones we make.

 

You can make excuses or you can make changes. You decide.

 

You don't have to be more fit than everyone else. You just have to be more fit than you ever thought you could be.
