Find a quote from the wisdom of the ages and hold on to it like you would a piece of driftwood when lost at sea. Don’t just read a quote, embrace it. Here are some to get you though difficult moments:

“Fresh activity is the only means of overcoming adversity.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (couldn’t help myself with the link 😉

“Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain… To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices – today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it.” — Kevyn Aucoin

“Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it.” — Rene Descartes

“Find joy in everything you choose to do. Every job, relationship, home… it’s your responsibility to love it, or change it.” — Chuck Palahniuk

Stay BOLD, Keep Pursuing,
