Encouragement

It seems that many people around me are experiencing difficulty in one way or another in their lives.  I sometimes wonder if it has something to do with the alignment of the planets, or some unseen or unknown force.  I think I remember hearing once that your life goes through phases.  Something like life is great for a number of years and then negative forces move in and you struggle for a few years.  If I had more time this morning, I would do some research.

But instead, I just wanted to share some positive quotes and offer encouragement to those out there that need it...including myself.

When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.  ~Franklin D. Roosevelt

The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning. ~Ivy Baker Priest

It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves. ~Edmund Hillary

Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. ~Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha



It's not easy taking my problems one at a time when they refuse to get in line. ~Ashleigh Brilliant



The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears. ~John Vance Cheney



Count the garden by the flowers, never by the leaves that fall. Count your life with smiles and not the tears that roll. ~Author Unknown



I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
~Dr. Seuss

Here's to brighter days for all!  Have an incredible Wednesday!
