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

The dark does not destroy the light: it defines it.

Brené Brown

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.

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.

Given the choice between the experience of pain

and nothing, I would choose pain.

William Faulkner

In life, you get what you believe you deserve.

Jay Samit

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.

George Bernard Shaw

We should try to be parents of our future

rather than the offspring of our past.

to give light one must first burn.

Rumi

Recognize that your birth was a response to

the world's requirements, not solely

your own wishes.

Epictetus

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

I refuse to eat animals because

I cannot nourish myself by the sufferings

and by the death of other creatures.

I refuse to do so, because I suffered

so painfully myself that I can feel

the pains of others by recalling

my own sufferings.

Edgar Kupfer-Koberwitz

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

should change; few people have ideas

on how they should change.

Alan Watts

If you want to know where you would have

stood on slavery before the Civil War,

If you think being a quaker is easy,

you're not doing it right.

I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals;

I'm a vegetarian because I hate plants.

The longer I live, the more convinced am I that

this planet is used by other planets

as a lunatic asylum.

George Bernard Shaw

If a group of beings from another planet were to

land on Earth - beings who considered themselves

as superior to you as you feel yourself to be

to other animals - would you concede them

the rights over you that you assume

over other animals?

George Bernard Shaw

Jo Frederiks

The basis of all animal rights should be

the Golden Rule: we should treat them

as we would wish them to treat us, were

any other species in our dominant position.

Christine Stevens

Home is where the Heart is 🏡

Environment is the invisible hand

that shapes our behavior.

the criteria by which you make choices in

every aspect of your life, including your

relationships with people and your job.
