50 Quotes To Help You Heal
Words can heal
50 quotes to give you hope in times of utter hopelessness when all you really want to do is curl up into the darkness of your miserable soul.
Words have a lot of power, and the right words said at the right time can even change lives. More importantly, strong & profound words can change mindsets. They can pull you back from the brink of complete evisceration. Words can give you the courage to do impossible things and inspiration to defy all odds. This post is full of words said by people who have been through more than their share of pain, words that helped them struggle through darkness and come out the other side.
We are not meant to stay wounded. We are supposed to move through our tragedies and challenges and to help each other move through the many painful episodes of our lives. By remaining stuck in the power of our wounds, we block our own transformation. We overlook the greater gifts inherent in our wounds — the strength to overcome them and the lessons that we are meant to receive through them. Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.
You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.
Rock bottom became the foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Start over, my darling. Be brave enough to find the life you want and courageous enough to chase it. Then start over and love yourself the way you were always meant to.
For what it’s worth... it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit. Start whenever you want. You can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you’ve never felt before. I hope you meet people who have a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of, and if you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start over again.
Sometimes we truly begin to find ourselves when we are so broken and weak, and in that moment, a spark ignites, and we dig down and find the strength to stand strong, and fight on.
And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain when you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in.
There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love.
At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing…is reason enough to celebrate.
When life gives you something that makes you feel afraid, that’s when life gives you a chance to be brave.
Strength doesn’t come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn’t.
There comes a point where it all becomes too much. When we get too tired to fight anymore. So we give up. That’s when the real work begins. To find hope where there seems to be absolutely none at all.
Have faith in your journey. Everything had to happen exactly as it did to get you where you’re going next!
One small crack does not mean that you are broken, it means that you were put to the test and you didn’t fall apart.
My scars tell a story. They are a reminder of times when life tried to break me, but failed. They are markings of where the structure of my character was welded.
A scar does not form on the dying. A scar means I survived.
The scar meant that I was stronger than what had tried to hurt me.
She never seemed shattered; to me she was a breathtaking mosaic of the battles she’s won.
Bravery is being the only one who knows you’re afraid.
Never be afraid to fall apart because it is an opportunity to rebuild yourself the way you wish you had been all along.
What’s broken can be mended, what’s hurt can be healed. No matter how dark it gets, the sun’s gonna rise again.
How beautifully you are learning the art of surrender. The courage to let go, in the wild of your unknowns.
Believe in the possibility even when life is giving you every reason not to believe.
Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.
Be thankful for what you have. Your life no matter how bad you think it is, is someone else’s fairytale.
New Beginnings are often disguised as painful endings.
Perhaps the butterfly is proof that you can go through a great deal of darkness yet become something beautiful.
Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us.
Learn to value yourself, which means: fight for your happiness.
You can’t control everything. Sometimes you just need to relax and have faith that things will work out. Let go a little and just let life happen.
Wounds don’t heal the way you want them to, they heal the way they need to. It takes time for wounds to fade into scars. It takes time for the process of healing to take place. Give yourself that time. Give yourself that grace. Be gentle with your wounds. Be gentle with your heart. You deserve to heal.
One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.
You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them. I tie no weights to my ankles.
No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.
In order to heal we must first forgive…and sometimes the person we must forgive is ourselves.
Instead of saying, “I’m damaged, I’m broken, I have trust issues” say “I’m healing, I’m rediscovering myself, I’m starting over.
Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there’s no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.
When you have lost hope, you have lost everything. And when you think all is lost, when all is dire and bleak, there is always hope.
It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars.
The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.
We need never be hopeless because we can never be irreparably broken.
You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.
Be brave. Without bravery, you will never know the world as richly as it longs to be known. Without bravery, your life will remain small – far smaller than you probably wanted your life to be.
The emotion that can break your heart is sometimes the very one that heals it...
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it’s yours.
