    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
    Steve Jobs

    C. JoyBell C.

    Rainer Maria Rilke
    “Don't be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen. Otherwise it will be too easy for you to look with blame... at your past, which naturally has a share with everything that now meets you.”
    Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

    “Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for an extraordinary destiny.”
    Christopher Markus

    Richard Paul Evans
    “I am not a believer in love at first sight. For love, in its truest form, is not the thing
    of starry-eyed or star-crossed lovers, it is far more organic, requiring nurturing and time
    to fully bloom, and, as such, seen best not in its callow youth but in its wrinkled maturity.
    Like all living things, love, too, struggles against hardship, and in the process sheds
    its fatuous skin to expose one composed of more than just a storm of emotion–one of loyalty
    and divine friendship. Agape. And though it may be temporarily blinded by adversity,
    it never gives in or up, holding tight to lofty ideals that transcend this earth and
    time–while its counterfeit simply concludes it was mistaken and quickly runs off to
    find the next real thing.”
    Richard Paul Evans, The Letter

    Jean-Yves Leloup
    “Sometimes we must undergo hardships, breakups, and narcissistic wounds, which shatter the flattering image that we had of ourselves, in order to discover two truths: that we are not who we thought we were; and that the loss of a cherished pleasure is not necessarily the loss of true happiness and well-being. (109)”
    Jean-Yves Leloup, Compassion and Meditation: The Spiritual Dynamic between Buddhism and Christianity

    Criss Jami
    “If a man cannot understand the beauty of life, it is probably because life never understood the beauty in him.”
    Criss Jami, Killosophy

    Laura Hillenbrand
    “Dignity is as essential to human life as water, food, and oxygen. The stubborn retention of it, even in the face of extreme physical hardship, can hold a man's soul in his body long past the point at which the body should have surrendered it.”
    Laura Hillenbrand, Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience and Redemption

    Reinhold Niebuhr
    “God grant me the serenity
    to accept the things I cannot change;
    courage to change the things I can;
    and wisdom to know the difference.

    Living one day at a time;
    Enjoying one moment at a time;
    Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
    Taking, as He did, this sinful world
    as it is, not as I would have it;
    Trusting that He will make all things right
    if I surrender to His Will;
    That I may be reasonably happy in this life
    and supremely happy with Him
    Forever in the next.
    Amen. ”
    Reinhold Niebuhr

    Paulo Coelho

    Paulo Coelho

    C. JoyBell C.
    “I feel that we are often taken out of our comfort zones, pushed and shoved out of our nests, because if not, we would never know what we could do with our wings, we would never see the horizon and the sun setting on it, we would never know that there's something far better beyond where we are at the moment. It can hurt, but then later you say "thank you." I have been pushed and shoved and have fallen out and away, so very, very, many, many times! And others around me have not! But then, the others haven't seen what I have seen or felt what I have felt or been who I have been, they can't become what I have become. I am me.”
    C. JoyBell C.

    Robert M. Pirsig
    “Like those in the valley behind us, most people stand in sight of the spiritual mountains all their lives and never enter them, being content to listen to others who have been there and thus avoid the hardships.”
    Robert M. Pirsig

    Marilyn Monroe
    “I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.”

    Anne Frank

    Anne Frank

    Marianne Williamson
    “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"

  • #22
    Marilyn Monroe

    Veronica Roth
    “Becoming fearless isn't the point. That's impossible. It's learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

  • #26
    Frank Herbert
    “I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
    Frank Herbert, Dune

  • #27
    “To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.”
    Taylor Swift
