Fear - Unknown

 I came across a book that said:

"Working out will make you feel weak, when it's actually making you stronger.

Learning new things will make you feel dumb, when it's actually making you smarter.

Investing in yourself will make you feel broke, when it's actually making you rich.

Facing your fears will make you feel terrified, when it's actually making you braver."

Never hold yourself back. Strive to be better tomorrow than you were today.

Thank yourself later.

Muddy water - Alan Watts

“Muddy water is best cleaned by leaving it alone.” 

“As muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone, it could be argued that those who sit quietly and do nothing are making one of the best possible contributions to a world in turmoil.”

— Alan Watts, English writer who interpreted Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for a Western audience

Man in the Arena - Theodore Roosevelt

Man in the Arena 

Theodore Roosevelt

This quote is from Theodore Roosevelt's speech titled "Citizenship in a Republic," delivered at the Sorbonne in Paris on April 23, 1910. It emphasizes the value of effort and courage in the face of criticism and failure, celebrating those who actively engage in life's challenges rather than merely observing from the sidelines. 

The illiterate of the twenty-first century - Alvin Toffler

“The illiterate of the twenty-first century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

Flowers of hope

"God grows fragrant flowers of hope in the ashes of loss.” 

— Karen Kingsbury

Rules are made to be broken

Rules are made to be broken

“You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. 

Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. 

Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. 

Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. 

Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. 

March to the beat of your own drummer. 

And stubbornly refuse to fit in.”

― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman: Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass

Quotes about Expat and living abroad

Quotes about Expat and living abroad

“There is a fundamental reason why we look at the sky with wonder and longing—for the same reason that we stand, hour after hour, gazing at the distant swell of the open ocean. There is something like an ancient wisdom, encoded and tucked away in our DNA, that knows its point of origin as surely as a salmonid knows its creek. Intellectually, we may not want to return there, but the genes know, and long for their origins—their home in the salty depths. But if the seas are our immediate source, the penultimate source is certainly the heavens… The spectacular truth is—and this is something that your DNA has known all along—the very atoms of your body—the iron, calcium, phosphorus, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and on and on—were initially forged in long-dead stars. This is why, when you stand outside under a moonless, country sky, you feel some ineffable tugging at your innards. We are star stuff. Keep looking up.”

— Jerry Waxman, professor of astronomy and environmental science

Change ― Mandy Hale

Growth is painful. 

Change is painful. 

But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don't belong.

Standing on the shoulders of giants - Newton

Fear - Seneca

"We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality."

Choices – Jerzy Gregorek

“Hard choices, easy life.

Easy choices, hard life.”
