“Don’t be pushed around by the fears in your mind. Be led by the dreams in your heart.” ~The Inspired Oracle

"For you today..... a blue butterfly to signify transformation through speaking your truth.  I believe one of the most important things we can do for our soul growth is to know thyself.  But to know thyself, we also need to walk our talk.  That means, once we know who we are, we also need to step into our power and speak up about what we will and won't accept.  That takes real courage but done with diplomacy and love, there is nothing to fear." ~The Inspired Oracle

FEATURED QUOTE: From Samantha C. Lourie

"The journeys we have gone on to be who we are today. The battles we have emerged from, wounded but not finished. The levels of hell we have endured because we believed a peaceful day was coming. It has been such a labour of love, blood, sweat, tears to get to where I am today. When I do eventually die one day, all I want to really say is that I have lived. I have loved. I have given everything to my life, to the sense of being here awake in this world. I kept on when I could have stopped. I just want my battery to be totally empty when my time comes. All my fuel spent on a life that I put my whole heart into exploring and expressing and giving and relishing. Feeling grateful right now, just to be here. I hope you celebrate who you are today too. It's all been worth it up to now and what lies before us is even more wonderful than all the things we leave behind in every new moment. Long may we continue and everything may we continue to give." ~S.C Lourie, Butterflies and Pebbles

A THOUGHT TO PONDER : SAVE THE NATURAL WORLD

"At the end of the day, no amount of investing, no amount of clean electrons, no amount of energy efficiency will save the natural world if we are not paying attention to it – if we are not paying attention to all the things that nature give us for free: clean air, clean water, breathtaking vistas, mountains for skiing, rivers for fishing, oceans for sailing, sunsets for poets, and landscapes for painters. What good is it to have wind-powered lights to brighten the night if you can’t see anything green during the day? Just because we can’t sell shares in nature doesn’t mean it has no value.” ~Thomas L. Friedman

Beware these men for they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is written in the blood of those who might remember and of those who seek the truth." ~Floyd Red Crow Westerman

Marlon Brando - Autobiography made flesh

"Art is autobiography made flesh. Art is sending the message that life has merit, that people have merit. I think we should see things that make us all want to go out and live better and share the good things we have seen. I think we should, without ever meeting, let it be known that we are here to support and protect each other." ~Marlon Brando (excerpted from Centre of Applied Jungian Studies)

"If you only carry one thing throughout your life, let it be hope. Let it be hope that better things are always ahead. Let it be hope that you can get through even the toughest of times. Let it be hope that you are stronger than any challenge that comes your way. Let it be hope that you are exactly where you are meant to be right now, and that you are on the path to where you are meant to be … Because during these times, hope will be the very thing that carries you through." ~Nikki Banas

Quotes on RESILIENCE

“A good half of the art of living is resilience.” ~Alain de Botton

"Another day we get to experience is another day we get to learn and grow. An extra step forward is a symbol of your resilience and willpower to become a better version of yourself." ~Steve, The Pride

“Breathe. You're going to be okay. Breathe and remember that you’ve been in this place before. You’ve been this uncomfortable and anxious and scared, and you've survived. Breathe and know that you can survive this too. These feelings can’t break you. They're painful and debilitating, but you can sit with them and eventually, they will pass. Maybe not immediately, but sometime soon, they are going to fade and when they do, you'll look back at this moment and laugh for having doubted your resilience. I know it feels unbearable right now, but keep breathing, again and again. This will pass. I promise it will pass.” ~Daniell Koepke

"Feeling and expressing painful emotions is part of a path of self-discovery. Being resilient does not mean that you won’t experience difficulty. Rather, resilience is a cultivated capacity to respond effectively to difficult experiences. You learn to break down overwhelming experiences into smaller more accessible chunks allowing you to process parts of painful events. You learn to attend to difficult life events of your past without allowing your history to define you. In this way, you expand your lens to focus on possibilities instead of just problems." ~Arielle Schwartz on What is resilience?

“Health is wholeness and balance, an inner resilience that allows you to meet the demands of living without being overwhelmed.”~Andrew Weil, MD

"...Love is the ultimate resilience." ~Vironika Tugaleva

“Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before”. ~Elizabeth Edwards

"Resilience is all about being able to overcome the unexpected. Sustainability is about survival. The goal of resilience is to thrive." ~Jamais Cascio

"Resilience isn't some fixed trait. It's not elusive, that some people have and some people don't." ~TED Talks, Twitter

"The resiliency of water is most impressed 

  by the conditioning of the storm." ~EA

"To be able to show up with poise and composure regardless of what is going on – that is surely the meaning of resilience." ~Sherri Bishop


RELATED QUOTES

"Joy, collected over time, fuels resilience -- ensuring we'll have reservoirs of emotional strength when hard things do happen." ~Brené Brown

"You do not have to be your mother, unless she is who you want to be. You do not have to be your mother's mother, or your mother's mother's mother, or even your grandmother's mother on your father's side. You may inherit their chins or their hips or their eyes, but you are not destined to become the women who came before you. You are not destined to live their lives. So if you inherit something, inherit their strength, their resilience. Because the only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be." ~Pam Finger, as seen in The Chicken Soup for the Soul, 2nd helping from Rainwater Designs

A THOUGHT TO PONDER: The beauty of generosity

"It was our belief that the love of possessions is a weakness to be overcome. Its appeal is to the material part, and if allowed its way, it will in time disturb one's spiritual balance.

They are taught to give what they prize most, that they may taste the happiness of giving." ~Ohiyesa (Charles Alexander Eastman), Wahpeton Santee Sioux
