Quotes That Inspire Me

Day 24 of the Boho Berry December Challenge is about quotes that inspire me.

"We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are." 

Sirius Black (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix)

 

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."  Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban)

 

“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”  
George Bernard Shaw

 

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”  
― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

 

 

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

-Lyrics from The Greatest Showman Song "This is Me"

 

"You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them."

Maya Angelou

 

“Prayer is not asking. It is a longing of the soul. It is daily admission of one's weakness. It is better in prayer to have a heart without words than words without a heart.”
― Mahatma Gandhi
