Quotes to live by?

So during this process I have been reading inspirational quotes to kind of lift my spirits and give me a pick up of whatever I am needing that day. What are some quotes that you find helpful?

"Relatioships are worth fighting for but you can't be the only one fighting."

"Sometimes you have to forget how you feel and Remember what you deserve."

Well this is not a quote but part of a poem and I like it.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

My first tag,

Worrying is like praying for what you don’t want.

Also the Serenity Prayer. ~ over and over and over.

"No" is a complete sentence.

You don't have to attend every argument that you are invited to.

You is kind.
You is smart.
You is important.

Recovering from Toxic Relationships and Emotional Abuse…no one toxic will offer you apologies, explanations or closure. You have the power to heal without their participation.

When you find no solution to a problem, it’s probably not a problem to be solved, but rather a truth to be accepted.

Pay attention when people react with anger and hostility to your boundaries. You have found the edge where their respect for you ends.

I have a couple:

This, too, shall pass.

And.

What anyone thinks of me is none of my business.

I al so like: it’s an ill wind that blows no one any good.
Though it took me years to figure out what it means.

One of my favorites is....

God didn't need me after all, as he can handle each and every drunk on the planet who cries out for his help.

How much time do you have?

I've literally surrounded myself with this stuff over all these years. Every face of my kitchen cabinets is covered in multi-colored prints of hundreds of things that have resonated for me. They've become little guideposts that DD & I refer to regularly & they've been popping up for her IRL over & over from amazing resources:


"Many have an image of me, few get the picture"

"You are responsible for the energy you bring to this place"

"Life is the most difficult exam. Many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different test paper."


Ego says: Once everything falls into place, I will find peace.
Spirit says: Find peace and everything will fall into place.

FAIL = First Attempt In Learning

"Never grow a wishbone daughter, where your backbone ought to be" ~Clementine Paddleford

Dear Hatred,
You won't outlast me. I'll have the last word.
Sincerely,
Love


"Bitterness is like cancer, it eats upon the host. But anger is like fire, it burns it all clean." ~Maya Angelou

"In the end, you've got to be your own hero because everyone else is busy saving themselves" ~tinybuddha

"What matters most is how well you walk through the fire" ~ Charles Bukowski

"Wherever you stand, be the soul of that place" ~Rumi

Wake up
Kick A$$
Be Kind
Repeat

"Should you find yourself the victim of someone else's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities, just remember it could be worse. You could BE that person" ~bullyingisforlosers

"Do no harm, but take no sh@t"

Don't make someone a priority if they make you an option.

Stop asking why they keep doing it
and start asking why you keep allowing it.
