A BLOG DEVOTED TO SHARING POSITIVE AND ENCOURAGING MESSAGES FOR THE HUNGRY HEART
“Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that’s what makes you strong.”
― Sarah Dessen
When things get hard, don’t run away and hide. Instead, stand up tall and deal with it. No matter how difficult or painful, commit yourself to working through whatever curveball life throws at you. For how you deal with these situations ultimately shapes who you are as a person.
“I can see it. This one moment when you know you’re not a sad story. You’re alive. And you stand up and see the lights and the buildings and everything that makes you wonder. And you’re listening to that song in that drive with the people you love most in this world. And in this moment I swear… we are infinite.”
― Stephen Chbosky
Open your eyes and truly allow yourself to see the world. See the beauty surrounding you, breathe in the miracle of life. You are so much more than you give yourself credit for. If you truly believe in a limitless future, your life will be full of infinite possibilities. Let go of the chains of doubt that are holding you back and break free so you can fly.
“In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”
– Albert Camus
As you go through hard times in life, you question whether you are strong enough to weather the storm. You feel broken, beaten and defeated. Many times you are just so tired that you say, “What’s the point?” You feel you have nothing left to give and the fight is gone. But, it is when we are at our lowest that we learn how “invincible” and resilient our spirit truly is. Often, you don’t realize your inner strength until months or years later when you look back at a really difficult time and say, “Wow, how did I survive that. . .at the time, I never thought I would make it to the next hour, let alone a year.” But you did. You survived because inside of you, there is “an invincible summer.”
