“Nothing can dim the light which shines from within.” ~ Maya Angelou
You chose to react.
You chose to feel insecure.
You chose to feel anger.
You chose to fight back.
You chose to have hope.

“You! What were you doing? You nearly got yourself killed! Did I not say that you would be a burden, that you would not survive in the wild and that you have no place amongst us? I’ve never been so wrong in all my life.” Thorin embraces Bilbo in the Hobbit
“One day, in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful.” ~ Sigmund Freud
“What do you mean? Do you mean to wish me a good morning or do you mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not?” I enjoy this quote from the Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Our days are all neutral. Our day doesn’t care if we wake up in a good mood or a bad mood. It’s not going to adjust for us. Our day gives us a choice, We can look at our day with optimism, expectations, and hope. Or, we can be a grump and complain about it all. Give me people who wake up with a kick ass attitude, believing nothing can get them down. We may occasionally lose sight where we’re going, but we’ll have a great time gettig there.
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.” ~ Robert Frost
“The more you feed your mind with positive thoughts, the more you can attract great things into your life.” ~ Roy T. Bennett
“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.”
― Sarah Williams
“And still, after all this time,
The sun never says to the earth,
“You owe Me.”
Look what happens with
A love like that,
It lights the Whole Sky.”
― Hafiz
“Make your choice, adventurous Stranger,
Strike the bell and bide the danger,
Or wonder, till it drives you mad,
What would have followed if you had.”
― C.S. Lewis
