i am sorry for the loss of your person. and the million things that vanished on the day their heart stopped beating. and the billion things you must grieve every single day that they aren’t here. and I am sorry that there isn’t a better word than just sorry. – Sara Rian
It’s not the number of hours you practice. It’s about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice. Kobe Bryant
Being born a woman is an awful tragedy...
Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars – to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording – is all spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. […]
Here’s the truth about grief: loss gets integrated, not overcome. However long it takes, your heart and your mind will carve out a new life amid this weirdly devastated landscape. Little by little, pain and love will find ways to coexist. – Megan Devine
Want to help a grieving friend?
Want to help a grieving friend? Let them be sad. The thing is, you can’t cheer someone up by telling them to look on the bright side, or giving them advice. Your job, honestly, is to feel awkward and stay there anyway. Just hang right out there with their pain. Megan Devine
Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. You must clap for yourself during those times, you should always be your biggest fan. @thefemalehustlers
You will always be too much of something for someone.
This moment is not life waiting to happen, goals waiting to be achieved, words waiting to be spoken, connections waiting to be made, regrets waiting to evaporate, aliveness waiting to be felt, enlightenment waiting to be gained. No. Nothing is waiting. This is it. This moment is life. Jeff Foster
You don't have to be a superhero...
Maybe your life purpose isn’t supposed to be a thrill-seeking narrative. What if you’re meant to be the sunshine to someone’s stormy day? Or the voice of clarity to a frantic mind? You don’t have to be a superhero to save the world. @consciousreminder
Start over; my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to. Madalyn Beck
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. Albert Einstein
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral.
He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral. Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice. And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. Thomas Aquinas
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.
Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. Gavin Coolidge

It is easier to build up a child than it is to repair an adult. Choose your words wisely. Author Unknown
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives...
The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who […]
Nothing is more important than empathy...
Nothing is more important than empathy for another human being’s suffering. Nothing – not career, not wealth, not intelligence, certainly not status. We have to feel for one another if we’re going to survive with dignity. Audrey Hepburn
The most important thing you will ever do in your life is learn to embrace your unique, honest self. A boundless, infinitely populated universe and there is nothing else here quite like you. This is your power. All those things that make you strange and different also make you irreplaceable. Beau Taplin
There is pride, too, though – pride that he has done it alone. That his daughter is so curious, so resilient. There is the humility of being a father to someone so powerful, as if he were only a narrow conduit for another, greater thing. That’s how it feels right now, he thinks, kneeling beside […]
They say, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” I don’t agree. Some things that didn’t kill me came so close that they’re still damaging. They didn’t make me better. Some things made me worse. And can’t that be ok too? Can’t some things just break you? This whole fucking world wants you to believe […]
Attitude is a choice. Happiness is a choice. Optimism is a choice. Kindness is a choice. Giving is a choice. Respect is a choice. Whatever choice you make makes you. Choose wisely. The Light in the Heart, Roy T. Bennett
The Reality of Our Powerlessness
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us […]
If you can't handle me at my worst...
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. Marilyn Monroe
We are not nouns, we are verbs.
Oscar Wilde said that if you know what you want to be, then you inevitably become it – that is your punishment, but if you never know, then you can be anything. There is a truth to that. We are not nouns, we are verbs. I am not a thing – an actor, a writer […]
Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.
