Inspiring Thoughts

You've trained yourself to face reality. You've trained yourself to tell the truth. You've trained yourself to tell it like it is. So in the beginning, these fantasies feel a little inappropriate, because it's like you're fooling yourself. Sometimes people will say, "Well, isn't this just denial?" And we say, "We hope so!" We hope that you are denying the absence that you do not want. And we hope that you are embracing the presence of what you do. But somehow the idea of denial has become a dirty word to you; like it is virtuous to face the reality of the horror of your own lives. And we would be ignoring anything that did not please us. We would get our eyes on what feels good.

 HOPE NEVER DIES

Hope itself is a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords; but, like all other pleasures immoderately enjoyed, the excesses of hope must be expiated by pain. Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.. The miserable have no other medicine But only hope :) This is a movement to start a conversation. This is a movement to show you that you are not alone, no matter what you struggle with. Addiction, depression, suicide; this is a movement to show you that these things are okay to talk about. Hope, is real.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous?

Stop caring about everyone’s opinion of you.

For the most part, what other people think and say about you doesn't matter. When I was younger I let the opinions of my high school and early college peers influence my decisions. And at times they steered me away from ideas and goals I strongly believed in. I realize now, many years later, that this was a foolish way to live, especially when I consider that nearly all of these people whose opinions I cared so much about are no longer a part of my life.

"If you want to be respected by others the great thing is to respect yourself. Only by that, only by self-respect will you compel others to respect you."

It only takes one person in the room to provide a little Positive Inspiration and effect change. Why not let it be you.

" You’re not alone. GOD promised to be with you through the darkest night. HE'LL rock you to sleep in the bosom of HIS love and cradle you in the palm of HIS hand. Even when others turn their backs on you, HE will never leave you nor forsake you.."" (Unknown)
