Sometimes we have situations where we just need to hear some inspirational words. Or sometimes we have situations where we just don't know what to say...
I was wondering if anyone knows any inspirational quotes sayings.

Thanks!

Here's one:

“Here is
a test to find
whether your mission on earth
is finished:
If you're alive,
it isn't.”

(Richard Bach)
 
I love this quote:

Nothing is permanent in this wicked world - not even our troubles. - Charlie Chaplin
 
Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy. :smile:
Thich Nhat Hanh
 
"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

Helen Keller
 
When I was a young woman I asked my mother how I would know if I was is love.
Her answer--------------------

"You will know you are in love when you care more about the other person than you care about yourself"
 
"If there were nothing wrong then there'd be nothing right"

I was going to get that tattooed. Lyric from one of my favorite songs.

Hi Manic11

There is a group called "Positive Thoughts, Affirmations And Word Of Wisdom" if you are interested.

You are welcome to add any of your own at any time. As is anyone else.

I try and live by the saying 'every bad thing happens for a good reason'

Every bad thing that has happened in my life has eventually stemmed into something good.
Example- If I have never been abused then I never would have dropped out of highschool, if I'd never dropped out of highschool then I never would have ever joined a job program, if I'd never joined that program I never would have started volunteering, if I'd never started volunteering then I never would have got a sponsorship to go to California for a month, with all my flights, food, transport and accomodation paid for.
 
-The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.
-This too shall pass.
-Relax! Things can always get worse! (My personal favorite, cuz' it makes whatever the present challenge is, seem smaller.)

-The truth will set you free but first it will piss you off.

That one made me laugh! I like it. I have little quotes and things laying around to help calm me down sometimes. For example, I have a sign in my bedroom that says "I have PTSD. PTSD does not have me." I think that's another one I can use!

A lot of these quotes and sayings are great. Thanks everyone!
