From time to time, we all need a bit of inspiration. I find that most of the answers to life's challenges can be found within the pages of a book - if you're here, I'm sure you can relate! Here are six of my go-to's from some wonderful writers:
“And if you can’t see anything beautiful about yourself, get a better mirror. Look a little closer. Stare a little longer. Because there’s something inside you that made you keep trying despite everyone who told you to quit.”
To This Day: For the Bullied and Beautiful. Shane Koyczan
Catch the whole poem recited by the post on TED here:
“You wanna fly, you got to give up the shit that weighs you down.”
Song of Solomon. Toni Morrison
"It all counts and the bottom line is, what defines you isn't how many times you crash, but the number of times you get back on the bike. As long as it's one more, you're all good."
Along for the Ride. Sarah Dessen
“I am beginning to measure myself in strength, not pounds. Sometimes in smiles.”
Winter Girls. Laurie Halse Anderson
“Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.”
The Angel of Healing: for the Living, the Dying, and the Praying, in The River of Winged Dreams. Aberjhani
"There is always something left to love.”
One Hundred Years of Solitude. Gabriel García Márquez
