Have the Courage to Carry On
By Renita Williams
Let’s face it, life can be hard. Just when you are sitting there minding your own business, pow, a crisis can come your way.
Whether it is work, differences amongst family and friends, bad relationships, financial struggles, or just a bad day, sometimes it can be overwhelming and hard to deal with.
Although what seems like a tough time while it’s happening, it is also a way to help you find the strength you never knew was within. Let these quotes on strength help you feel the motivation to carry on.
Hang On
"When you come to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on. "
-Franklin D. Roosevelt
Never Give Up
"When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn."
-Harriet Beecher Stowe
It's Just the Beginning
"The world is round and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning."
-Ivy Baker Priest
What Lies Within
"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Make the Goal
"Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, need only a bit of praise or encouragement - and we will make the goal."
-Jerome Fleishman
Pick Up the Pieces
"If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again."
-Flavia Weedn
Don't Allow Yourself to Suffer
"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."
-M. Kathleen Casey
It's Not the End
"A bend in the road is not the end of the road...unless you fail to make the turn."
-Author Unknown
The Strength to Overcome
"We acquire the strength we have overcome."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Appreciate What You Have
"Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known."
-Garrison Keillor
Prepare for Your Journey
"We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey."
-Kenji Miyazawa
See Who You Really Are
"Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are."
-Arthur Golden
Better In Time
"When the Japanese mend broken objects, they aggrandize the damage by filling the cracks with gold. They believe that when something's suffered damage and has a history it becomes more beautiful."
-Barbara Bloom
Having a Reason to Live
"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how."
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Allow Yourself Opportunity
"When written in Chinese the word "crisis" is composed of two characters - one represents danger and the other represents opportunity."
-John F. Kennedy
Get Better, Not Bitter
"The difficulties of life are intended to make us better, not bitter."
-Author Unknown
Embrace Fortune
"Fortune knocks but once, but misfortune has much more patience."
-Author Unknown
The Turning Point
"The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all hurt."
-Max Lerner
Never Give In
"Never give in... never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force... never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy."
-Winston Churchill
Use Pain As Fuel
“Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing. Use the pain as fuel, as a reminder of your strength.”
- August Wilson
Keep Yourself Together
“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”
