Can anybody help me out?
So, I’m mailing a care package to a friend who’s been having a really hard time lately, especially with anxiety and depression. Part of what I wanted to put in it was a little notebook with inspirational or happy quotes for her to read over when things get difficult.
Does anybody have a favorite motivational/encouraging/funny/etc. quote that I could include?
Signal boost for my boyfriend and our friend? :)
“Insecurity. It’s in all of us. That voice inside that tells us that we can’t do something, that we’re not good enough, that we shouldn’t even try. And when we listen to the voice, we hold ourselves back in ways we don’t even realize, all because we’re scared to take a chance, to face our fears, to see what we’re really capable of.” - Being Erica
“The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.” — The Once and Future King (by T.H. White)
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they’re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.” — Marilyn Monroe
“Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment.” — J. Walters
“When twilight draws near,
when you are pushed to the very limits of your soul,
When it seems that all you have left are the dead remnants of the fabric of your life.
Believe.”
— Disturbed
Just some of my favourites :)
