Embrace the glorious mess that you are.
If you could only sense how important you are to the lives of those you meet; how important you can be to the people you may never even dream of. There is something of yourself that you leave at every meeting with another person.
At the end of the day, we can endure much more than we think we can.
When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.
Don’t use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe.
Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fear is the most subtle and destructive of all human diseases. Fear kills dreams and hope.
At the end of the day people won’t remember what you said or did, they will remember how you made them feel.
As nurses, we have the opportunity to heal the heart, mind, soul, and body of our patients, their families, and ourselves. They may not remember our names but they will never forget the way we made them feel.
We need silence to be able to touch souls.
We’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we’re not alone.
Remember your dreams and fight for them.
When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.
Let everything happen to you: Beauty and terror. Just keep going. No feeling is final.
Every single second is an opportunity to change your life, because in any moment you can change the way you feel.
Happy feelings will attract more happy circumstances.
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other’s life.
You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.
Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.
