Thoughts of the Day

[Paula]

Jay Blades MBE posts ‘thoughts of the day’ on social media which I often find thought provoking and helpful. Today’s particularly struck me as it illustrates what a community such as ours exists for.

“None of us is as Strong as all of us.”

Have you found any quotes or comments that mean something to you, and you’d like to share?

“ I don't know what to tell you. A statement is easy, and here it is: Be yourself. Try to matter. Be a good friend. Love freely, even if you are likely, almost guaranteed, to be hurt, betrayed... Do what you were created to do. You'll know what this is, because it is what you keep creeping up to, peering at, dreaming of. Do it. If you don't, you'll be punching clocks and eating time doing precisely what you shouldn't, and you'll become mean and you'll seek to punish any and all who appear the slightest bit happy, the slightest bit comfortable in their own skin, the slightest bit smart. Cruelty is a drug, as well, and it's all around us. Don't imbibe.
Try to matter. Try to care. And never be afraid to admit that you just don't know, you just don't know how you're going to make it. That's when the help shows up.” ~Tennessee Williams

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Worrying never changes the outcome. Breathe more and worry less. Train your mind to see the lesson in every situation, and then make the best of it.

This is our tribe!

[SJW180]

Is it? I’m not sure anymore. I’m not saying that to be difficult but I’m sure you understand why I feel that way and maybe you agree and wish I wasn’t here. You’re not alone in that.

[magie06]

As I've said in the past, it's all about those who are on the sidelines waving the pom poms.

[Strugglingmum]

Love this tribe and grateful for each and every one of you

“The strongest among us aren’t those who show strength you can see, but those who have won incredible inner battles you know nothing about. So be kind. You can’t always see people’s pain, but they can always feel your kindness. Being kind to people is a peaceful way to live, and a beautiful legacy to leave behind.” Quoted by Jay Blade

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Today, fill your cup of life with sunshine and laughter, no matter the weather.

I'm being intentional about thinking positively

[Paula]

Never assume that you’re stuck with the way things are. Life changes every day, and so can you.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

Be Beautiful if you can, Wise if you want to, but be Respected - that is Essential.

I’m proud off all you diamonds!

[SJW180]

I don’t feel like a diamond. Or a lump of coal for that matter. Coal is really useful.

“It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, I actually started to own, accept and love what I had.”

Tracee Ellis Ross

This is a really important fact to hold on to
