Hi everyone!
I hope you are all well 🌻
Quotes can capture our minds and help us creatively problem-solve or even reflect on certain situations in life. Many studies have shown that they are beneficial in improving well-being too!
I am sure we have some individuals who enjoy reading quotes and applying them to their lives. We could add our favourite quotes to this thread as often as possible. You can add multiple times a day or even just when you remember to do so, whatever works best for you! :)
I will start with one of my favourite quotes:
"The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination".- Carl Rogers. The reason why I find this quote meaningful is that often we want to reach the end result of what we are doing, and we forget the process is just as important! This might be applied to studies, finishing a project, cleaning our room/homes or finishing our endless to-do list!
Please share your favourite quotes or even one you've found meaningful in the moment and what they mean to you.

My favorite quote in the world is Toni Morrison's "If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must be the one to write it." because it keeps me motivated to push towards my dream of becoming an author even when I'm busy, in emotional lows, or going through writer's block. It's also just super inspirational and really reminds people that if you want to change the world, it starts with you. :)

"Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we all could do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but the healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces." ~ C. JoyBell C.
I have experienced great physical pain as well as emotional pain. Realizing that there is an end to the pain and a healing process is what keeps me going in the face of what I sometimes consider an insurmountable obstacle. It's that light at the end of the tunnel. And even if the pain becomes chronic, I can still realize that there will come a time where I can deal with the pain in a way that is healing as well. Whenever I feel like I'm being swallowed up and scattered about by pain, I read this quote to remind myself that healing will happen and life will go on. 💚

Such a beautiful reminder, especially when you are struggling too.
The mind is measured by discussion, and love is measured by attitudes.
Your brain has the power to change and accomplish anything it desires.The Secret lies within you.....stay positive...
