Free Encouragement

Sometimes people put words together that just resonate with me as encouragement.

I’m sharing a few of my favorites with you. If you have any favorites of your own, feel free to email me. If they fit, I’d be happy to add them to this post and give you credit for sharing, if you’d like.

"But pain...seems to me an insufficient reason not to embrace life. Being dead is quite painless. Pain, like time, is going to come on regardless. Question is, what glorious moments can you win from life in addition to the pain?"

~ The quote is by Lois McMaster Bujold from her novel Barrayar

"Growth is not steady, forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two back, one around the bushes and a few simply standing, before another forward leap.”

~ Dorothy Corkville Briggs

"Problems are like weeds you've got to get to the roots to prevent them from

popping up again."

~ Brian G. Jett
