“Our lives a series of defining moments, strung together by passing time. Surrender fully to this moment, because it is not the moment itself that defines us, but how we choose to live in it.”
Jill Pendley
“We all at certain times in our lives find ourselves broken. True strength is found in picking up the pieces.”
“The ache of grief is always there, but the emptiness will lift one day. Their life to us the greatest gift, and only by living can it be repaid.”
“We are not defined by our trials, but by how we face them. We are all afraid; bravery is a choice, that though you may lose, you shall never be defeated.”
“When you are dispirited, held back, beat down and you have no one,you can give up, give in, or you can find those things you need to stand within yourself.If no one else believes in you, then you must believe in yourself.If you can not get the love you need from others, you must make room in your heart and give that love to yourself.You must accept yourself exactly as you are, all your flaws, all your faults, all your dreams.”
“To live in this single moment, this lightest breath, this softest touch, to be captured by this smallest, this briefest space of time, to be fully present, alive, consumed in this instant alone, this is truly living.”
“As a stone tumbled in coarse reality, constantly worn as it is refined, adversity, it's true beauty shows. So it is by trial we find, all that we are capable of, the strength which lies beneath.”
“Few are those whom this courage find. They keep their eyes upon the goal, and through this journey are made whole. A test of will by grand design, for fear lives only in the mind.”
“Contentment is not something to be gained by possession. You can not work simply at being content, but must work at making a difference. True contentment is gained by the difference you make in the lives of others.”
“The answers at present elude me because I am not ready to hear them. An answer given must then be acknowledged, lived, accepted. The acceptance of truth may be harder than the question.”
