Sharing this today because it hit me that this is a quote I live. Sometimes when you are struggling, a good quote helps reset your brain.
Here are some of my other favorites.
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails” –James Dean
“Well-behaved women seldom make history.” –Marilyn Monroe
“Even in darkness, sometimes sunshine shines through the blinds.” –Charles Aubrey Rogers
Do you have a favorite quote that inspires you? Share it if you do.
I am an emotionally naked mental health speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind and co-author with Kim O'Brien PhD, LICSW of Emotionally Naked: A Teacher's Guide to Preventing Suicide and Recognizing Students at Risk. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my younger son, Charles to addiction and suicide on June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational mental health keynotes, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, anxiety, coping strategies/resilience, and grief. As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory. Mental Health Speakers Website. Trained in ASIST and trainer for the evidence-based 4-hour training for everyone called safeTALK. View all posts by Anne Moss Rogers

I heard this one earlier this year and have pondered it several times since then.
You can get bitter or you can get better. The choice is yours.
That one is soooo good. Thank you for sharing. I won’t forget that one.
I will get up and dance! I won’t miss that opportunity! I will move past the pain and take a chance on a new day. I forget who said it, but if given the choice, I hope you dance.
I always will. I know how blessed I am.
Funny but Tammy has sent me a blog about “the dance.” It will publish next week but I’m editing it now. What a coincidence.
There are years that ask questions and years that answer.
I need to see who is credited with saying that one. I have not heard it.
Zora Neale Hurston, “Their Eyes were Watching God”
Sometimes the short ones pack so much lesson in them.
Both reflect my personal religious beliefs:
For this, I have Jesus.
This [life on earth], is not forever.
Just those few words give us all a lot to think about.
Lean Forward into your Life
live with intention
walk to the edge
listen hard
laugh
play with abandon
practice wellness
continue to learn
appreciate your friends
choose with no regret
do what you love
live as if there is all there is
~~Mary Anne Radmacher
That one is so good. Thank you for sharing that. I’m keeping all of these in my phone memo pad.
” A ship in harbor is safe, but that’s not what ships are made for.”
Life is short, eternity is long. Keep an eternal perspective.
Good one Kelly.
