Stress Center Peer Support

Do you guys have any inspirational quotes?

I've heard a few inspiring quotes from the program such as "If you always think the way you've always thought - you'll always feel the way you've always felt"

Stuff like that. It really keeps me motivated to hear things like that, so if you have any, please share.

Eleanor Roosevelt: "You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience you stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do."

I have some favorites...Some of which are from around the boards here and some not.

"But do no distress yourself with imaginings.Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself" - From Desiderata by Max Erhmann (My favorite part is 'be gentle with yourself' and I know there are a lot of us out there that beat ourselves up.)

"Hold on to what is good, even if it is a handfull of earth.
Hold on to what you believe in even if it is a tree which stands by itself.
Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here...
Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you." - Nancy Wood from Many Winters

Those are just some of my personal favorites but I've been collecting them all over

I really like..."If doing the right thing was easy everyone would do it"

I also like the definition of insanity...doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different response....I think Ive done that many times...lol

I didnt know that was the definition of insanity.. Wow do I ever relate to that

Nice quotes guys! I'll look for some to post aswell.
