Quotes from Me to You

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

 

So, I am a quote junkie. I love quotes because I love words and feel like words are so incredibly healing sometimes. As a therapist, I've also learned that these words cannot merely be said, but put into some action or somehow internalized. I have a ton of go-to quotes for my not so great days and wanted to share them all with you *heart* I hope one of them can give you some hope, a smile, or just a little bit of sunshine on a rainy day :)

 

"You have to fight through some bad days, to earn the best days of your life." - Unknown

 

"Tough times don't last, tough people do." - Robert H. Schuller

 

"Someday, everything will make perfect sense. So for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, and keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason." - John Mayer

 

“I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life. I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life." I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” - Maya Angelou

 

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new". - Socrates

 

"If you're not okay, that's okay. It will happen sometimes. But you have to tell yourself that things will be better tomorrow. Even if they're not better tomorrow, keep telling yourself they will be. Because eventually, tomorrow will be better." - Sam Miller

 

"My entire life can be summed up in one sentence: It didn't go as planned, and that's okay." - Unknown

 

"Sometimes it's easy to feel like you're the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, or unsatisfied at barely getting by. But, that feeling is a lie and if you just hold on; just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find the way and make it all okay. Because we all need a little help sometimes, someone to help us hear the music in the world. To remind us that it won’t always be this way. That someone is out there, and that someone will find you." - One Tree Hill

 

"At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don’t keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy. That’s how we’re made. So you can waste your life drawing lines… or you can live your life crossing them." - Grey's Anatomy

 

"Change… We don’t like it, we fear it. But we can’t stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow. Anybody who tells you it doesn’t, is lying. But here’s the truth: Sometimes, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes, change is good. Sometimes, change is… everything." - Grey's Anatomy

 

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate. Without them, what would shape our lives? Perhaps if we never veered off course we wouldn't fall in love, or have babies, or be who we are. After all, seasons change. So do cites. People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know that the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away." - Sex and the City

 

"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that's just fabulous." - Sex and the City

 

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

 

“Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.” - Marilyn Monroe

 

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” - Dr. Seuss

 

“So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” - Marilyn Monroe

 

“I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” - Audrey Hepburn

 

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

“Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.” - Ayn Rand

 

“The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all.” - Mulan

 

“I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." - Maya Angelou

 

"If you're reading this...congratulations, you're alive. If that's not something to smile about, then I don't know what is.” - Chad Sugg,

 

“Turn your wounds into wisdom.” - Oprah Winfrey

 

“None but ourselves can free our minds.” - Bob Marley

 

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.” - Agatha Christie

 

“To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.” - Taylor Swift

 

“Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” - Martin Luther King Jr.

 

“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures. Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being. Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way things are. Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the world.” - Lao Tzu

 

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around it, let it slide like coins through you fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.” - Lauren Oliver

 

“‎Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.” - Voltaire

 

“And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.” - Abraham Lincoln

 

“Dance, when you're broken open. Dance, if you've torn the bandage off. Dance in the middle of the fighting. Dance in your blood. Dance when you're perfectly free.” - Rumi

 

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” - Rumi

I know some of you are not religious which is fine, I will not try to ram religion down your throat lol. But for those who are I have some good quotes...

"God hangs the greatest weights upon the smallest wires." (which I have tattooed on me)

"God will let me bend, but he will not let me break."

Then there are non religious quotes that I love...

"Things happen in life that you cannot stop, but that doesn't mean you need to shut out the world."

"Some people see a weed, I see a wish." (about the weeds that you can blow and you used to make wishes as children)

 

 

I really loved that Martin Luther King quote that you put down.... Very true!
