From Trauma To Triumph

Your wounds lead you to your purpose.
Mastin Kipp


It can ruin you life only if it ruins your character.
Marcus Aurelius


Sometimes the only way we can survive our own
memories is to shape them into a story
that makes sense out of events
that seem inexplicable.

Yeonmi Park


We can't learn without pain.
Aristotle


Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strenghtened, ambition
inspired, and success achieved.

Helen Keller


Given the choice between the experience of pain
and nothing, I would choose pain.

William Faulkner


Don't lose faith. Promise yourself that you will
be a success story, and I promise you that all
the forces of the universe will unite to come
to your aid; you might not feel today or
for a while, but the longer you wait
the bigger the prize.

Bernard Shaw


The purpose of life is not to be happy.
It is to be useful, to be honorable,
to be compassionate, to have it make some
difference that you have lived and lived well.

Ralph Waldo Emerson


We should try to be parents of our future
rather than the offspring of our past.

Miguel de Unamuno


Hardship often prepares an ordinary person
for an extraordinary destiny.

C.S. Lewis


Success, like happiness, cannot be pursued;
it must ensue, and it only does so as the side
effect of one's personal dedication to a cause
greater than oneself.

Viktor Frankl


There are ships sailing to many ports,
but not a single one goes where
life is not painful.

Fernando Pessoa


The wound is the place
where the light enters you.

Rumi


Eventually, you will come to understand that
love heals everything and love is all there is.

Gary Zukav


May our broken hearts fuel us to fix our world.
Cleo Wade


Stå stilla i smärtan
rotad i det som är ljus i dig.
Låt svärdet gå genom dig.
Kanske det inte alls är ett svärd.
Kanske det är en stämgaffel.
Du blir en ton.
Du blir den musik du alltid
längtat efter att få höra.
Du visste inte att du var en sång.

Ylva Eggehorn
